Addleworth

adj. Unable to settle the question of whether you're doing okay in life; feeling torn between conflicting value systems and moveable goalposts, which makes you long for someone to come along and score your progress in discrete and measurable units--points, dollars, friendfollowers, or a grade point average--which may not clear up where you're going but would at least reassure you that you're one step closer to getting there.

Etymology

From addled, muddled or unclear + worth.
