I don't think your worries are ridiculous at all-but if you're already in a tough place, putting yourself in a position where it's possible to feel rejected/loser-ish/a failure, probably isn't a good idea.
What other skills do you have? Maybe we could help you with other career ideas, rather than something that's a known trigger for you.

I am not sure what position I will get, if I get one at all. For the last 7 years I have worked the following positions: salesperson, internet sales (answer leads and work with customers when I get them to the dealership), internet sales manager, sales manager, and finance/business manager. Every position is high stress because the dealership has expectations and I set the bar high for myself also.
Before I worked at a dealership I was a mechanic. The problem going back to being a mechanic is that all my tools were stolen years ago. I looked at it as a sign because I got offered a job selling cars the very next day. I did get some compensation for my tools, but it wasn't even close to what they would cost to replace.
Other than that, I don't have a formal education or any other skills I am aware of. In all seriousness I have no idea how I am even able to work at a dealership because of the intense anxiety I get when being around people. I guess going back to a dealership seems like my only out because of the income I can earn, but the downside is the stress and triggers.
