Thanks for your reply. What if the only things you're good at, or at least passable, don't really lead to anything lucrative?
You realize that's a ridiculously erroneous statement, right?
Someone is being paid to clean my neighbors windows right now. Another is being paid to mow a lawn. Another is being paid to clean a house. I'm drinking water in a can with a really cool 'Liquid Death' logo on it. I just got off the phone with a guy who started a company selling toner cartridges - that company is now generates 70mil/year. I'm going to an amusement park with a friend of mine who started/sold a company that sold AI-generated psychic readings online.
Having depressed thoughts is one thing, but make an effort to remember they're not real.
A book that really helped me (and is worshipped by the 70mil/year guy) is Lou Tice's Attitude of Achievement.
Usually when my head is out of control like it sounds yours is, I need to place it in a condition to function correctly - like reading a book or solving an equation. Otherwise, it'll just keep spiraling.
As for #3, that's always what frustrates me with business advice - the assumption that everyone knows a lot of people.
Maybe I'm just a complete loser but I have maybe 10 real contacts in my phone, and that includes my language teachers and my family.
Join a church or a networking group or something.

Honestly, it sounds like you need some kind of work to do. Not for the money, but to apply your thinking powers.
I have a couple things we can do to make money that I could probably use your help with. MVPs are already made, I could just use another set of hands if you're interested.
