Talk to a therapist first, but that disclaimer aside: I believe more or less that the world is built to take 30-50 yo and their goals seriously.

Seeing those two populations start to succeed out of nowhere can be disconcerting. However, you are also in that range. If you start figuring out what markers make people take other people seriously in their professional or personal lives, and find ways to work towards those markers successfully, things can start to snowball towards you out of a rut and up and running. Then, you can steer that growth and foothold in any direction you want.
