what are some at home jobs?
I have social anxiety bad. like I can barely be out in a crowd. no therapy has helped that. I mean, I can go out and all, but not with a lot of people and just stay there for hours. so I was wondering what jobs there are for home and more preferably a your own business kinda thing like pet grooming. im thinking about pet grooming, but im not 100% sure. what are other at home jobs? thank you

Lets take your example, pets have owners. Do you expect the owners to drop their pets off at your place instead of going to them? Thats fine if you do and they are willing. However, there will be contact with owners, even if briefly, so depending on how bad your anxiety is, you still have to interact with people.
If you are intending to provide a service oriented job to a customer, you will have to be able to handle picky customers who may not be happy with your service or be extremely hard to please. If anything can make a person without anxieiy issues to feel stress, picky, bad customers will do it.
I would think it better to work on your anxieties, get medication for it that actually helps, and any counseling that will help as well.
In the meanttime while working to overcome it, about the only thing I can think of that won't require facing another person even briefly, is if you are a creative person and have something you're good at making, or art perhaps that you put on ETSY or Amazon to sell and people send payment to your paypal account and you never have to meet them face to face.
Some people get licensed by the state to provide in home child care. But you have to like kids and again, thats service related and you'd have to get along with and interact with the parents briefly at the beginning and end of the day.
Some times a person can find work typing from home, but I'd think you still have to interact on a minimal basis with whomever is giving you the work to do and paying you.
If you think you can handle being out side of the house, taking on a custodian/janitorial job nights means its just you or a team of cleaners working on cleaning and there is little social interaction if any. Another outside the home job that may have little interaction is to find a landscaper, an independant person offering gardening help who has so many customers and more wanting them that they need to take on a helper. The only person you've have to interact with is that one business owner as you do exactly what gardening jobs they train u to do.
Thats all the ideas I have. So whatever you do for now, I'd still go for getting my anxiety issues treated by proffessionals at the same time so my options for future jobs would grow.
