Your career path's details are crucial to understand your struggles. It seems like you may be confusing the role of a manager—it's more people-focused than technical. If younger superiors bother you, it could indicate a lack of maturity. Feeling "humiliated" suggests self-doubt/self-worth issues. I also question why you want the role so badly? Pay? Recognition? There are other roles higher in tech leadership than just manager.
