I want to learn Rust and get better at programming but I feel completely lost and left out of every conversation

I know JavaScript and React and I have been trying to figure out what direction to take my programming journey. I started looking into Rust because people keep saying it is the future and it is not yet saturated with developers, so I thought maybe I could get in early and actually become one of the best at it. But the problem is I have no idea what to even build with it. With web dev at least I understood the goal, build websites, get a job, get out of poverty. But now AI is doing most of the work and companies are not hiring junior devs anymore so even that plan feels like it is falling apart.

I follow people like ThePrimeagen and I am in Discord servers where programmers talk and I just sit there completely lost. They throw around technical terms and speak with so much confidence and it feels like everyone is in on something I am not. I genuinely want to join those conversations and add something meaningful but I do not even know where to start.

The deeper issue is I do not feel passionate about any of this. I know passion is supposed to drive you but I cannot find mine. I do not have some cool project I am dying to build. I am not solving a problem that keeps me up at night. I am just coding blindly and hoping something clicks. And it is frustrating because I see other people who are so fired up about what they are building and I want that feeling so badly.

How did you find your passion for programming? Was it always there or did something trigger it? And for people who learned Rust specifically, how did you figure out what to actually build with it? I feel like I am missing something fundamental and I really need some direction.
