Commute-wise, it's just that I'm much more mentally stable when I live with my parents. At first it was about the money, but now it's about having them around.
Thank you for the book recommendations.

No, you haven't failed. Everyone has their own journey, and just because your friends have achieved your idea of "success in tech" before you did doesn't make you a failure. You haven't failed until you give up, and the fact that you're making this post means you haven't given up.
Bob Moore started Bob's Red Mill, a massive and successful company, at age 60, after a long career that took him from running a couple unsuccessful gas stations to selling car tires, until he discovered his passion for (of all things) milling grains. It's never too late to find something you're good at and reasonably enjoy.
now you've got to answer these questions:
- Do you still want to do "something related to tech?"
- If Yes: Well tech's that's a big field, and there's a lot of room for people with vastly different skillsets. What subfield do you want to target? how are you going to prove you can get hired in that subfield?
- If No: what other fields do you want to look at? What initially drove you to tech? why are you even interested? Is it intrinsic or extrinsic? You could try doing an Ikagai exercise to identify other fields that might be interesting to you.
You should definitely read Mindset - at least the first two chapters.
