Sorry you're feeling discontent. I've written some advice on this in the past and am linking to it here:

No matter where you go and what you end up doing, businesses ebb and flow and your interests and motivations will also change and you will find yourself here again.

The key is for you to build an internal toolset (mental, emotional) to assess and proactively work towards your goals.

You mentioned that you would rather be outside, meeting people and creating things - there are absolutely jobs that incorporate both software and these other aspects - think of things like greenhouse automation (outside) or positions writing software for coffee shops or ?? There is an entire world of software.

Good luck!
