I'm having an extremely hard time collecting my thoughts lately. This
Social anxiety has me paralyzed in so many areas. I think the hardest part of being me is finding my core sense of self. I know that I'm a sweet and loving person on the inside, but there's so many things that I like that are so random, it's hard to know what or who I truly am. I've been floating through life aimlessly it feels like, knowing to some extent what I want out of life, but not knowing how to get it because my social skills are so lame. I've spent the better part of my life conforming to the people around me, trying so goddam hard to find a niche. I have such a big heart and my head is in the right place, I just need some direction. All I need is a gentle shove........

Bottom line, don't stress too much.
A: You're young. You've got plenty of time to reinvent yourself, a couple of times over if necessary;
and
B: A big heart and a sane head a marvelous attributes to have (and sadly a rather rare combination to find, it seems) can take you virtually anywhere.
If nothing else, you seem to have a talent with words and self-expression.
Finally, don't sweat the social anxiety . . .
