I have a deep urge to be independent, but I think my mind has taken it too far. I want to be able to make everything myself, I want to do all from machining, to electronics and plumbing to bricklaying to programming.

I feel like men reach more for this independence or am I crazy?

No. But enjoy yourself. I have friends who are into DIY and they seem to do a good job. I'm sure you can too.

I tried a little home repair, and it turns out I'm not good at it. I spent a bunch of time trying to fix the previous homeowners fuckups before I noticed my fixes weren't that good.

If I ever get a shed where the quality of work doesn't matter, maybe I'll give it another shot.
