Spend some time searching yourself out, and what it is that you really want. When you find that what seemed like meaningless tasks will be fun again, and you no longer have to worry about the approval of others.
I would also suggest finding a way to focus on things you like about the people that drive you nuts, and minimize the things that you dislike. The more you focus on what annoys you the more you're going to see of it, just like if you focus on what you like about them the annoyance will get smaller and what you like will be enhanced.
