I have no affiliation with this place, and I haven’t done the assessment, myself, but this is something I’ve been looking in to doing because I so often feel like I’m in the wrong line of work, and that I’m wasting my life chasing other people’s dreams.

I’ve read really great things about this place on Reddit (and a couple of negative things, too). If you have the money for it, it could be good.
Also if you have the money (I’m assuming you’re in the US, but I also don’t that other countries’ medical care covers this), see a therapist. You’ll likely have to go through a few before you find someone with whom you click, but a good therapist can help you work through those feelings. Motivational speakers are good at times, but their messages pose the risk of being taken too literally or too far, and being turned into a very unhealthy hyper-independence. This compounds your problems because not only are you whatever negative adjective for having problems in the first place, you’re now also a failure for being unable to fix the problems. Sometimes, we can’t solve our problems alone, and that’s ok.
By all means, watch some motivational speakers on YT. I named CT Fletcher as someone I loved in another comment, I used to watch and listen to Tony Robbins all the time. It’s all good in moderation. But don’t believe that you’re all alone in any of your problems.
