Yeah, man, I used to be like that and to a certain extent I still am.
The fact that you admit your problem and have taken the effort to put it in writing and seek advice is a good sign. Now you have to be consistent and pick the piece of advice that suits you best.
I could recommend one of 2 things:
a) Try to overcome your social anxiety and apply for a job at some place that seems more or less nice and cozy to you. E.g., if you're an intelligent type and like reading, get a job at a book store. If not, try some other place.
b) If you think this would be asking too much, go to your doctor and tell him that you have a depression. He will give you some antidepressants or Xanax, depending on your diagnosis, and that will take some of that emotional weight off your shoulders. He might also recommend attending some meet-up group where you would meet people with similar problems and make friends with them and see for yourself that you are not alone.
Hang in there, buddy.
