What sort of answer would help you? Enthusiast forums can be enabling echo chambers so you are far more likely to get encouragement to press on than anything else.
I think a lot of this comes down to personality. I have varied interests in general because that's how my mind works. It's a core personality trait. Other people focus down on a single thing, or a very narrow range of things, and that's fulfilling to them because that's how their minds work.
I had to come to terms with that long ago. Many people started...oh...playing cello at age 8...most gave up music altogether. A few spent every minute they could on building skill to a high level and will still be working to improve their cello playing until they are physically unable to do so. I went on to play guitar, keyboard, wind instruments, fix cars, sail, program computers, shoot, metalwork, camp, fly, on and on and on. I can play a few instruments but I can also do a lot of other things. If you compare me to someone who focused and kept building skill in a narrow range you'll find we don't necessarily have different total amounts of skill, but the distribution is very different.
I don't know if there are any tricks in any of this, but I do think people should recognize what sort of personality they have and compare themselves fairly. If you are a narrow-focus-fulfilled person who loves to do a few things really well but you compare yourself to wide-focus-fulfilled people who do a million different things and have a very diverse collection of guns (and skills, and everything else) you are not doing yourself any favors. The same is true in the other direction as well. Especially if you have a competitive streak you can end up in a sort of one-sided (they may not even realize it is happening) competition with people who are doing what makes them happy even though that's the wrong direction for you.
All of which could have been said with "know thyself" and "don't try to keep up with the Joneses", but, again, personality.
