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.

You need a significant other to lean on.
@Alyosha She must learn to find the hope, faith, and happiness within. It would be a heavy burden to put that upon someone who cared and who loved her. It is too much. I wish people would work on themselves before getting into serious relationships. Then they would grow together instead of causing unnecessary conflict and stress. If the ex-spouse had evolved himself, it would have been better for both of us. Yet he did not. Helping him with his esteem was like trying to fill a bucket with a large hole. It never filled nor worked. So many problems. Insane to think it would have ever worked. Now I know I am happy and I am the person I want to love. So finding those qualities in another seems a better, optimistic task.
