Feeling discouraged to even apply for jobs?

I don't know how everybody is able to find jobs and they have like good paying jobs with benefits. Ability to work remotely and have weekends off. Seems like their job isn't extremely stressful.

Due to unfortunate circumstances in the family. I was caretaker to my father whom later passed away. But I wasn't able to complete high school 12th grade. So I had to get GED. I immediately enrolled in community college. I wasn't driving so my only resource to jobs were fast food and retail.

I've been feeling so discouraged and intimated to even apply for jobs because I have no clue what I'm searching for. Like I have almost 6 years of work experience gap after highschool finished. Due to unfortunate circumstances in the family. I was caretaker to my father whom later passed away. But I wasn't able to complete high school 12th grade. So I had to get GED. I immediately enrolled in community college. I wasn't driving so my only resource to jobs were fast food and retail. In which I worked here and there but stupid social anxiety, insecurities and lack of shame for my age made not focus on any jobs. Barely worked 6-9 months. And my resume literally sucks. I also don't have any relevant job market skills and qualifications to even get a better job. Everytime I search for Job all I wish is get remote job or something desk job that most majority people do nowdays. But I feel really embarrassed and intimidated like I'm grown adult in mid-20s yet I don't even have a degree yet. My job experience literally sucks. Like I have no clue what to even pursue in college right now. Meanwhile my peers and cousins have settled down life. They are driving, some are working remotely. And most of them are working office jobs in some well-known companies. Ability to work remotely. Like that's cool
