My take is that you lack a sense of purpose or self-esteem. As others have said, chasing the next title/accomplishment is not going to bring fulfillment. Once you’re an engineer, your attention will move on to the next thing. My advice is to see a therapist, they will help coach you into a better mindset that is accepting of yourself. Be passionate about stuff, be lazy when you want to, always keep showing up to things and don’t get defeated by setbacks in work/romance- there are always more people to meet and more jobs to do.
