I have tried to discuss the same problem with my family like countless times - they just think I'm trying to find excuses to not be employed. I have a job now, but only because my mother knew a friend who was looking for someone to help out with her business. So I've yet to get a job "properly" too. I know I have to stop thinking: "I'm not good with people at all. I can hardly speak with anyone outside of my immediate family." Instead: "It's going to be tough at first but I know I'll get the hang of it. Soon I'll be able to talk to anyone!" You should think this way too. Even if it takes weeks, months or years to do so, you'll eventually be your own guardian.
