I have social anxiety also. My jobs have always been clerical. And I never used to talk to co workers.
I'm terrible at math also. Start looking for a part time job. You might find something you can do.
Working in a stockroom, shelving books in a library, cooking, etc.

A part-time job at a daycare might be nice. Are you good with the public? Taking orders or being a cashier somewhere might be a good match. You may want to start a list and just begin jotting down things you enjoy on the left side and things you don't like on the right. That may help you at least know where to begin your search.
