how do you explain the difference between using which and at which? for example, "i want something at which i can be good at?"

First up, you've ended your example with a dangling participle. Which can be an adjective or pronoun asking for a selection from a list of items. It can also be a pronoun with no actual list of options, just an implied list. Your example is of the second type, hence the positional adjective.
More grammar than you wanted but I hope it answers your question.

Look to see which noun your "which" is referring to. (OK, to which it is referring). You'd obviously leave out one of the "at" in your second sentence.

your example: it sound better without the 1st 'at' (repetitive) "i want something which i can be good at?"
eg: at which point in time........?
