What to do
What is the meaning of this life if one cannot make something of themselves worth being happy for? And if they are just mediocre, how can they survive without relying on another? I feel as though there is no hope.

Well, I had that feeling. I wanted to be someone, a goal was before me, but before I was 11, that goal was blocked. However, I didn't realize it till I was 25.
By the time I was 26, I'd basically said "I'm here for my pleasure, not others" yes, rather selfish, but that's the vibe I got from family, among other issues.
I no longer tried, only maintained life. I kept it up till now. My "Happy place" is but months away (and 3.5 hour drive) then I will shun the internet, social media and focus only on the nearby.
At times I'll gamble a bit, if I win, purchase various items (mainly booze) mix it with other drinks and enjoy my last year's in quiet solitude.
