but they dont want to move up, become a manager or progress in their job

i get that some promotions may not be worth the stress. especially those which will barely give you a pay rise. but in the longer term it might be worth it

im not smart at all nor am i talented in the field that im working in. my background and upbringing didnt really gear me towards having that type of drive by having happiness + success defined by status and titles

i guess im just envious about not feeling like i have a good career compared to a lot of my friends who are doing better. and just want like im good at doing something

As someone who has been told he fits the very bill many times, I'll impart the wisdom that happiness is far more valuable than any pursuit that other people tell you to chase or think you should. Chasing the goals of other people, no matter how capable one might be at it, is a waste of time for all involved, including the individual in question.

Edit: for clarity, I'm only referring to this specific situation, there are plenty of other times where goals of others are applicable and meaningful.
