A person Lives by the mantra that they will become successful.
They swear off worldly possessions despite their longings, and they strive to change themselves to be 'better.'
They're acting like a machine, and become what they aspired to.
They still work hard, but they're racked with self doubt.
They can not enjoy life because they cannot hold possessions and have been warped by television.
Self doubt, self doubt, self doubt.
IMO:

Basically, it's an identity crisis.
