Difficulty meeting people is a major impediment to hiring anyone who will be part of a team. I don't know any jobs that don't require teamwork and human interaction.

You've gotten over many difficult things in life. This difficulty may require different skills to overcome, but you're probably capable of it. You'll probably find it rewarding.

In my experience, working as part of a team requires different social skills than marketing oneself and networking; I'm decent at the former and hopeless at the latter. Employers who only consider social butterflies will be potentially missing out on lots of talented candidates.
