How do I get a job?

Question

Firstly I dropped out of highschool, I went to ycp and got kicked out there. So I never got a ged or a highschool diploma. I've never had a job in my life. I don't have a vehicle because I can't afford it. I need a job because I don't have insurance and I'm worried about my teeth that need cavities fixed and my happiness overall because I'm miserable atm. People online call me scum, lazy, a failure when I advertise for a job and it makes me not want to ask anymore. I also have social anxiety so I refuse to work somewhere with alot of people this excludes restaurants, stores, and college. My friend said nobody will hire me because I'm a hs dropout. I'm starting to wanna give up because I'm 21 now and I've never had a job at all, I've never even had two  hundred dollars at one time. How am I supposed to get a job? Also I live in a housing community so the closest thing is about three miles, I'm not lazy I just don't have a vehicle.

Diploma and GED has nothing to do with the basics of getting a job.

Rule #!:
The easiest and hardest part about keeping any job? Just show up every day on time.

What can you do that other people need?

This whole "social anxiety" thing is a bunch of BS and a self fulfilling prophecy.

Walk to work. 3 miles ain't far. I walked 4.5, rode a bike or took the bus.

You need to face the truth that all the rest of your snowflake friends are going to have to face: Life is hard, unfair, often suck and nobody owes you anything. Quit crying. Get off your @$$. Take some measure of control and accountability for your life.

Why would anyone hire you?  you have no motivation.  you don't want to do a decent job.

Dental insurance is not going to pay to fix all the your cavities.  That's not how dental insurance works.  Dental insurance has a long waiting period = typically 10-12 months and then will pay 50% of the costs up to about $1000-$1500.  If you have a lot of cavities, that will be quickly used up = probably on one procedure since you probably need crowns not fillings.
- people die from not having dental work done.  Don't be an idiot and be one of them.  Figure out how to get the work done or the teeth pulled.

Everyone has some level of social anxiety.  You need to develop ways to cope with yours or it's going to always rule your life, as it is right now.  "I can't do this job.  I can't do that job." .  That sounds pretty lazy.
- There are plenty of places that will hire you right now.  York County has MANY factories and they all use janitors... you don't need a high school diploma for that and you generally work alone... But let me guess, that job is "beneath you".

3 miles is not very far = you can walk it in 36 minutes, you can bike it in 10.  I'm guessing the weather gets ugly part of the year in your area of the country but it's not today.  And the weather hasn't been ugly for the past 4+ months.  Turn off your video games and enter the real world.
