from things you post it sounds like you arent really fulfilled with your life currently but youre skilled in a trade and seem to have healthy financial stability, that might be enough for you to just spend time every now and then with some troubled teens from a group home or something.
I would be more inclined to start / maintain an open source project, but I've never really been motivated to do so. A lot of my problems ultimately drive down to a lack of motivation / drive to do some tasks. My success only comes because I'm self motivated (basically by the fear of failure) at my job, which makes me look like I am much more skilled than I am. I've basically put all of my eggs into a single basket.

But, to actually answer your question, I've spent a lot of time over the years helping people, mainly on reddit. I actually really enjoy answering people's questions and was a mod on /r/hardware for a while. The problem eventually rises where I get really tilted when people ask the same questions over and over again, or when things like circlejerks arise (I unironically run Manjaro KDE now which is a different story, thanks reddit). But really, I am probably the last person anyone would want dealing with children, despite one of the things I'd love to do is to teach Computer Science (And I'd probably make 1/3 of what I get paid now, and I don't even get paid a lot...). I have had a few success stories working with College Co-Ops (we hire multiple every half-year from Northeastern), but my main advice for them is that they'll get what they put into the internship (you put in effort, you'll get rewarded with knowledge and experience), and to always ask questions (because that's why we're here). Some, don't take that advice and that's pretty sad from someone who didn't have that opportunity in college (GameFAQs Avatars / xFAQs was basically my "internship" I guess).

I really miss going outside, I went out today to go to the store. The problem is ultimately I never learned how to drive, and I can't get the motivation to do it now.
