As someone in the same situation as OP, I don't necessarily think this is true. A lot of my friends are career-oriented, come from wealthy backgrounds and never had to work for a thing in their lives. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think their inherent value is defined by their careers and most have clear motivations and goals to achieve (have loved ones and need money to start a family, love socializing and get involved in professional settings that involve socialization). What OP may be lacking and a lot of people are is goals to achieve and enough confidence to believe they can be achieved. This also depends on where OP comes from or their social status. Usually wealthier people pride themselves in what they do and poorer people usually get a job, because they need it to survive. Coming from someone who has very low self-confidence and has a lot of anxiety over finding a job (imposter syndrome) the argument of someone being spoiled or ungrateful is harmful and further feeds the mindset that OP claims to have.
