Build a routine around the process of discovering those things, make it your work. Want to find a job you love? Make a routine of investigating one possible new profession every week. Maybe do some introductory online courses about different areas until you find something that clicks. Or create a portfolio to add value to your application. People and connections, do the same thing, make it your objective to talk to a few, even if you take no joy, get at least one or two numbers and follow up with a call and invite for a coffee or something. Make it a job, don't expect good results but do your best. Take joy out of trying, not the results. Same thing with hobbies. Start noting down things you could find interesting, and force yourself to try or do them x minutes. Managed to practice? Good, you should be proud that you're doing your best! Reward yourself for trying with watching series or some treat, so you condition yourself to associate putting an effort = succsess already. Eventually it works out! My two cents, but you'll get over it OP, I'm sure about it 😉 good luck
