I get your point but for me it´s not possible to just state what I need or what I can or can´t do at a workplace.
All those things affect me and what stops me from working at a certain workplace or similar is something that needs explanation. For that I need to have trust in the social secretary I´m talking to and I need to feel that she cares about what I´m telling her.
If I for example have been through something difficult that now affects what type of workplace I need, then it´s most probably an emotional aspect to it, perhaps a sorrow and when talking about those things, it sometimes makes me cry.
I can´t then meet with a person who thinks it´s all about stating what I can´t or can´t do at a workplace and then it´s just to proceed.
I understand that her assignment is to document what I tell her and to use that information to find a job or an internship but she won´t get that information by thinking I´ll just meet with her and state and summarize my needs.
It had been a different thing if I just needed aid like a special desk, computer glasses, a special chair and so on. Then I would agree it´s just telling her that and she could then find a company that would get that aid for me.

If it’s perfectly acceptable to tell your social worker that your anxiety or other mental health issues make it hard to work in a large office or getting along with people. It’s perfectly acceptable to request for her to find you a job either from home or in a small office. Such requests are perfectly fine. If she refuses to accommodate your needs, you are within your rights to be mad and complain to her supervisor .
Now if you want to talk about your feelings about things, you could. But it might not lead to much of anything.
There is zero reasons to lie when asked how you are feeling. You could tell her how you feel but she’s not likely to engage in a lengthy conversation about your feelings. That’s what everybody is trying to tell you. It’s a wrong agency for discussion of feelings.
But I encourage you to tell her that certain jobs aren’t acceptable to you because how you feel about being around other people or other emotional or mental or any other issues that prevent you from working
