Not sure where to go from here.

So I dropped out of (UK) college recently. I don't really have any good qualifications - I had Cs at AS Level and dropped out of BTEC Business Studies. I loathed the subjects I did for AS and I couldn't stand the BTEC.

I'm not really sure where to go from here. I don't really want to get a job right now, but I have to so I'm not a drain on my family. Unfortunately, the only vacancies open to me are customer service or retail positions, and I don't like working in teams and hate working with the public. I would probably have to leave after a short period of time since I just find being that social is too inherently stressful.

I work much better on my own, but I don't know how long it will take for a solitary-type job to open up near me. I can't travel very far since I don't drive (it's way too difficult for me and I'm afraid of injuring or killing someone by accident), and I don't mind walking, but I know this limits my options even further.

I kind of want to kill myself because of this. Not because I'm depressed or anything, but...I don't like being a leech on my parents' finances, and I'm not sure if I can move on to being a successful adult. I know a lot of people would miss me, but I don't want them to pay to support me for so long. Does anyone have any advice?
