There is nothing wrong with having goals and wanting to reach a certain echelon in life. Removing people from your day to day that don't share the same interests - like building businesses or work - is all a part of growing up and apart.
However, it sounds like you really don't know what you want and have lot the motivation. I would really suggest seeing a therapist and discussing this with them if you have the time - you aren't doing yourself or your goals any favours by operating at a mental discount to your own potential.
Best of luck to you my man, and treat yourself better. If you don't, who will.

You don't want money my friend. You want power, you want status. You want to be the big man on campus. The one that turns heads and takes down the prom queen. Right?
Why? Perhaps because right now, you feel like the little dick guy. The beta, the pussy. Work on yourself, not on money, and you might see your "interests" shift.
Look money can be a goal but it shouldn’t be the only one otherwise you’ll never be happy. There is surely other things that you care about, can be sports, fashion or anything really but keep some friends that also like these things.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets.
I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
