seduce your girl friend more! it's a practice. strap her in a chair and lick her pussy until she is a quivering jelly. take her on a hike to a beautiful view. go play in a fountain with her. give her an adventure without any money and without a video screen. the creative and physical challenge of doing this for her enjoyment and for your pleasure with her will enhance your quality of life and enhance your ability to focus. One date per week, you and her alone having fun. no excuses.
go dancing and to parties where you socialize, not where you drink. social events like this will enhance both your own feelings and your relationship with your gf. You don't have to "like" these things, they have positive effects for all human beings whether extroverts or introverts. also, tell people about your startup as "what you do". Ask people what they do and what they struggle with. This can open up opportunities for you to help them.
learn more about the world. There are bigger issues and problems than yours. go look at them. this will help for the last and most important thing you must try to do:
PRACTICE GRATITUDE
A practice of gratitude will free you from the drudgery of your startup and help you to see it's advantages and fun in new ways. "I am so grateful for my GF because...." "I'm so grateful to be facing these challenges in my startup because..."
When you train yourself to orient around gratitude, both your happiness, productivity, and clarity will increase.
Go in the directions that interest you. The education and business systems are not designed around people like you. Get over it. Find challenging areas that suck you in and keep looking for the things that suck you and you will have a great time and it will all be worth it.
Stop comparing yourself to the specialists. Specialization leads to smaller and smaller gains. Generalization leads to larger and larger gains. But the generalist must work harder than a specialist to realize those gains (they are bigger gains right?)
Pursue the things that excite. it doesn't have to matter why they excite you. If you do that, you will do fine. Don't beat yourself up about it. You are not going to become a specialist... EVER. So go do the thing people cannot see because it requires you to approach it from so many different angles.
Make your own path. Believe in yourself. Be bold. Move fast. Have fun and play. Specialists do not get to play in so many areas. YOu do, so enjoy yourself.
