dont know what to do for a job.... where to work...

hey I think im doomed. I dropped out of highschool cuase I got sent to a special school cuase I was in trouble and locked up my teenage years. and I have to go get my ged before I can go to school for anything. and I was thinking about doing personal trainer job cuase my entire life is working out I don't do anything else. but I never talk to anyone in my gym and I have anxiety socializing with people so I don't know if I could ever be a personal trainer. I see the personal trainers in my gym socializing with the people they are training and I wouldn't wanna talk to them, just show them how to workout and stuff. and I thought about going to school for nutritionist but that's like 4 years I think and personal training course is only like 6 months. I used to work at fast food resuaraunts like 5 or 6 years ago I worked like 50 hours a week for awhile. but I haven't had a job in like 5 or 6 years. I think im doomed I don't know what kind of career I want to get into. my family is always telling me to get a job. the pet store manager is bugging me to work at her store but I don't know if I can handle the job. im currently on ssi so even if I got a job I could only work 18 hours a week. unless I drop the ssi. I just don't know what to do cuase I need more money I wanted to join the boxing and mma gym but I cant afford it right now. and I want to have a family someday but I would need a job if I ever had kids. I think im hopeless and doomed.

You're not doomed. Maybe try to be a personal trainer or intern to be one to see how you like it. If you don't like it, maybe get your g.e.d. and try a small job like manual labor jobs since you like to work out...

You are not doomed if you start looking at what you can do.

if you get job above then you maybe could afford it.

True when you say "I want to have a family someday but I would need a job if I ever had kids."
If you could find a job that pays health insurance and pays enough to live on, you could have a full time job and do the things you want.

If none of this works you could still do temporary job 2 days a week or temporary jobs.

The glass is either half full or half empty. It is the same glass. Just our attitude creates a different world.

You're not doomed but you do need to start working or get your GED. My ex dropped out of high school, worked as a chef in multiple kitchens, then worked as a ski instructor on a mountain cabin resort, then decided to go into the military (he got his ged before joining) and now he's very successful in the military, he's part of a very specialized team that very few men have the privilege of saying they're apart of.
So you just need to take the necessary steps to make opportunities for yourself. Other people have been in your situation, but it's not easy, it's up to you and only you to be successful.

My mom is a personal trainer and she's not very social at all. She's actually one of the most highest paid and popular trainers at her gym. It turns out most average people aren't looking for some flashy trainer to pump them up or chit chat with them or be super social or in their face. They just want a little encouragement, a little empathy, and to be taught how to work out properly and quietly.

hey thanks to all of u for helping me il try to figure out what im going to do
