Just a couple of thoughts, which may or may not help.
1. You are the wrong part of the country. I live just a few miles from Mexico here in South Texas and unless a person that does not speak Spanish or is Hispanic, is unemployable in this part of the world.
2. The parts about being methodical and slow and does not deal well with things that change quickly caught my attention. Also the part about liking people, but not knowing how to engage them is interesting. These are both traits of folks that are ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Folks with this, have a difficult time functioning in a society whether others do not have it.
There is a place for you in this society. One where you can be happy and productive. The trick is to know yourself and find the place where you fit. Learn a trade that plays to your strong points and not your weak points.
