I am not good at anything tbh. I wouldn't mind doing the live chat/email customer service on website but I don't want to do it over the phone, at least not a lot

Jobs with a PC as a required working tool. Programmer is an option, even engineers are working in front of a PC.
You could look at driving jobs either as a delivery driver for fast food or parcels (DPD etc). You could go bigger if prefer and be a bus driver or even a lorry driver if that is something of interest. You don't have to really communicate much in these roles

I cannot drive, I am useless, and I want a higher job

It will be okay! You should try to talk to people at small paces. Even if it's asking a stranger for the time. Small steps are important

AI is taking over that sort of stuff, so I do wonder how much luck you would have with that.

Most companies these days have an email customer service support need. Maybe you can think which companies look fun. Email support will look very different for a financial company than it would for a clothes company. Once you know what kind of company rings your bells, then you know what kind of companies to approach : )

Another idea is running companies social media eg Instagram accounts, facebook, stuff like that.

Firstly, it's essential that you change your mindset. I understand it might be challenging, but keep in mind that you're only 21, and there's ample time to navigate through life.

As above, start off with accomplishing something 'small' and gradually build up your confidence.

There must be something you are passionate about?
It’s honestly hard but something like delivery driver
I am not really passionate about anything, if I am I cannot really explain it and talk about it because I have nothing to say. I cannot hold a conversation too
