Neither do I. Sometimes I like to step back from work or from life in general and kind of examine it and adjust from time to time. I don't like always doing the same things. Probably fly I've had so maybe different types of jobs. I've like once I master something, I can't stand doing it over and over and over again. I'm not built that way. Probably why the 52 songs I composed this past year is a bunch of various genres. The first 6 or 7 songs are all bass house and then I started changing genres after that and trying to make hits from every single one. They aren't the greatest but it was fun while it lasted.

I would say most people are like that. Because I've been an artist my whole life, creating art from scratch, designing video games, composing music, creating logos, starting up businesses that I tend to fail at with some and have some success with other. I just love creating things from scratch and getting better and better every time I create. It's my way of influencing the world around me. I usually feel like I am way more capable than what employers hire me for and I feel like they are just wasting my time and the companies time by not putting me in a position that I would thrive in.

I'm quite the recluse, so I'm sure I can function. Unless you are gone most of the time

Of course. Seeking His will is always best. I start my day with scriptures and prayer. I tell the Lord all the things I'm thankful for and I pray for those I care about or are concerned about, and I pray for guidance. I'm always earnestly asking the Lord for guidance. It's my fault when I go down the wrong path...

I feel this way often. I am in a similar parallel of life in most of what you have said. But, I am not as busy as you seem to be. Making that many songs and on the phone etc, takes a lot of time. I used to use "blender" until I realised the logo was a "666". I have nothing in life and not one skill. No gifts of note. And i'm getting to the age where it seems nearly all too late to continue.
I feel that all of this is addiction to "sense pleasures and worldly dreams". It is a clinging to what could be, and not to the submission to Christ and "being contented with ones lot". We want more. It is never enough. We have to learn to accept our lives are not supposed to be always fun and exciting. This is dopamine addiction and sense pleasure stimulation. This is why the phone is hard to put down and may be why you make songs, because of the "winning high" of dopamine when you accomplish something. I feel the same with all accomplishments. But this has to be directed to God in some way.
Overcoming of "strongholds" of dopamine addiction. Separation from the phone, the media, tech, forced abstinence. These however boring at first, grow a "non-boring state" of mind that does not need or stress or want to have a life "easier like I was younger" etc. We all feel this way at some point overall. It is life. We can all be happy, but not in a fallen sinful world. It has to be made new by God. Otherwise we are grasping lustfully, trying to be "of the world and in the world", when we are called to be the opposite.
But I pray the Father in Heaven, you are led to be prosperous and fulfilled in all ways, in health, wealth, spiritual things, godly things, righteous things, and wisdom, and understanding, and bold courage to do all good works set forward by God. I pray you are kept on the path with ease. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

You have no idea how much this came at the right time. I actually started feeling that earlier, where I don’t feel pleasure as much anymore. I wonder what will happen if I just stop chasing it, ya know. I feel like my mind already stopped chasing it today and now I’m thinking “what will happen next?” , “what is God trying to tell me now?” Anyways, I am looking forward to what is to come from this and I do think you really know how to craft a reply my friend. First I stopped porn and masturbation before September 11th this year, then coffee. I don’t watch tv, movies, not even play video games. I have found less and less enjoyment in a lot of things but that doesn’t mean I’m not full of joy because I am.
I hope that you can continue offering more support with your words on this website. It’s weird how the Holy Spirit led me here after I was just thinking that

Lord, show Your servant the right way of life and fulfilment. Direct his steps on the narrow path that leads to eternal life in Your Heavenly Kingdom. Help him to cope wisely and patiently with his misfortunes, no matter how dramatic they are. We thank You for everything good that he still has.
