There are people in this world who really love what they do and get paid to follow their dreams, then there are people who don't necessarily love their jobs but they realize it's something that has to be done if they want to support themselves or their families. Not everyone is lucky enough to belong to the first category, believe it or not. And either way there is nothing wrong with that.
At your age it's totally normal to not have any job experience. In fact, most people are graduating college at 22 with maybe only a few months of having done an internship, and are just getting ready to enter the jobs market for real.
Social anxiety is tied to confidence which is tied to self esteem and how you feel about yourself. It's all related. You say that you have no friends and that makes you feel worthless. And it's easy to think that no one is going to miss you when you're not around because you think no one cares about you. But there will always be people who will - whether or not you see them. We are all important and valuable, remember that.
I don't have much friends either, but my biggest fans are my parents and my younger brother, and everything I do and have done has been all for them. I am who I am today because they've always had my back. I'm not the most sociable person, but I enjoy being in crowds and soaking up the energy from being around others, even if (weirdly enough) one on one interaction still sometimes freaks me out. I am shy too, but instead of seeing it as a negative thing I make it a positive attribute. I'm proud of being shy, just like I'm proud of being smart, caring, passionate, and enthusiastic. I have my fair share of regrets too, things that I know I missed out on because I just wasn't bold enough, and missed opportunities in my life that could have brought me to a better place than I am today. That being said, I'm never going to stop trying to improve myself and make the most of my life. I'm not going to stop helping others and believing that good things happen when people work together and lift each other up.
IIN that I feel useless?
