okay, you have high levels of social anxiety plus agoraphobia. These are treatable in multiple ways - there are medications as well as proven psychological methods.
Unless you get a "work from home" job, all jobs require some interaction with others, even if it is just with a boss. So the best thing to do is solve your anxiety. And it is solveable.

I realise that this is not the answer you were looking for, but it's the one you needed to hear.

An indexer for a book publisher. Freelance if possible. The pay is good and speed and accuracy are quickly rewarded. You could probably work at a large dining room table in your home.

I would suggest that you try being a closed-door pharmacy technician or get a masters degree in any subject and teach online classes through a college! Good luck.

It is more common than you think to have anxiety around people and though your symptoms may be more than most people, it is still not uncommon for people with severe anxiety. What you need to do is not let other people be more than yourself, just the same. Once you conquer that fact, it will be easier to face other people. Once you face your own fears only then can you face others who probably have those same fears and you will find working with people more enjoyable than you first thought or think of now.


Working does involve meeting with other people unless you do online work. You could set up your own retail site and sell other peoples' products and include adverts from other sites however, all this takes time before any real profit is realised.

If you are good with computers, there is work available as a programmer or web design. If you are good at arts & crafts then you could arrange to have your products sold at the local market (contact the Stall Holder Manager).
