Why do I always feel like I have something to do but really I don't?

Maybe you feel like you should be doing something, and the fact you have the energy to do something and you are not creates both anxiety and regret.

It may be that society makes us feel that the busier we are
the more important we are as a person.

Me too. I think it's because I never feel like I'm enough. I never feel like my best is good enough. We live in such a competitive, busy world and are treated more like machines than human beings. Sometimes I have to stop and say, I'm good enough.

Your forgetting who you are, you have forgotten, this isnt wishy washy stuff we all have. We think we know who we are but we dont, im not claiming to have the answer im looking for myself too, but while looking i am also creating myself, your not your name or what you do, or your address and occupation. You need to find something you like doing, something your good at and just build your life around it, i like to draw and play music and cook so i am an artist only i get confused about which career to pick, life isnt always easy, if it were easy we wouldnt be happy, think about it, anyway you need help with anything else you know where im at.
