It’s always painful to remember that Peter Parker so badly doesn’t want to be Spider-Man and is heavily depressed due this conflict but can’t just give up or get rid of his power (something he’s proven he has the intellect to do) because of guilt and his own complex around punishing himself.
Peter loves the job, the ability to help people and right wrongs as much as he loathes it. He wants to be normal and give the role, the responsibility, to someone else but at the same time he’d never wish it on another soul.
It’s an odd case where everyone believes he wants his cakes and the ability to eat it them too but it’s more like he’s had tow cakes dumped on him and he is forced to eat the flavor he doesn’t want at the moment.
