I can't follow directions well, especially when I'm feeling anxious. I'm so afraid of messing something up and getting yelled at.
I'm not good with people at all. I can hardly speak with anyone outside of my immediate family. I just can't see myself ever possibly being able to get a job, but I want to be independent so badly.

Be careful with your words. You sound like you don't actually want to be employed. Yes, you know you
must be employed in order to live independently, but if you can't address your fears how will you ever be employed?
