Comparing my 2 accounts in Fidelity really opened up my eyes.

I check my longterm performance comparing my Fidelity stock brokerage account vs. Mutual fund account. The results are disturbing. I am down 70% overall since 2019 in my stock trading account. My mutual fund account is up 21.9% without me touching it in 7 years using auto investment and auto dividend re-investment. I love trading but at some point I question if we are trading to actually make money or just for the dopamine rush? If we really want to make money, we should just take the almost guaranteed returns from index fund. What's the point of risking let's say $10,000 knowing I only have 10% of being profitable. Why do people love to trade stocks when easy money is in index fund? The risk vs reward in stock trading is worst than going to a casino.
