I felt similarly around 22/23, but gradually I began to make changes like quitting porn, reading more, taking up art. It felt almost like I was being pulled upward by some invisible hand. Maybe that's just maturing, but I'd say listen to your better intuitions. Try to cut out the habits that you sense are ugly and degrading and cultivate the ones that you sense are good for you and the people you care about. Not everything in my life right now is outstanding, and there's a lot of stuff you can't control, but having knowledge and skills that can't be taken away from you goes a long way.
