First relax, I understand how you must be feeling right now especially in india, peer pressure, relative pressure etc.
Now I will suggest a few things that can help you, however it will take time, you said it had been 3 months since you left your job so think before taking any steps, I am only suggesting you doing it ultimately is your decision.
First it comes down to WHY
Why do you have trouble with speaking to others 1)is it low self confidence
2)Introverted personality
If it is the first 2 then try these:
1> Do volunteering work : one approach would be to do some course but you have already done IIM so doing volunteering work is one option to develop speaking and interpersonal skills,
HOW : join some ngo nowadays there are a lot of ngo, join any you feel comfortable with
Benefits:
-
you can stop whenever you want, ultimately you are not doing it for profit but for learning almost they might give you a certificate, another thing to add in your bio
-
making connections, working with ngo you will meet a lot of people which might help you expend your connections
Ultimately volunteering is looked down upon but gives a lot of benefits
2> pick some hobby: try writing a novel, music, gaming or drawing, record some video of yourself while talking to yourself.
HOW:
for novels there is webnovel.com
For music there is bandlab
Gaming video there is youtube
You can find platforms for other hobbies
[WARNING] don't be mistaken, I am not suggesting opening a youtube channel or getting too much invested in some hobby.
To develop confidence taking to yourself while looking at a mirror is said to be the first step recording your videos is just taking it to another level
- You might just find something you were good at but never knew...
Ultimately engaging in a hobby might be risky if you get too invested but for something to do side by side it's a good option.
Now it's not about settling for a low paying job because in the end even there you will have to face stress and problem with communication
Joining a low paying might be good if you go through a "one step at a time approach" but improving self confidence should be your priority if you want to make a comeback.
I am an ambivert myself, but once I start trying things improved.
If nothing else go in a random park try interacting with people, or just scream to get the stress out [not at people (;ŏ﹏ŏ) but at some tree or at sky itself]
😊 believe me things will improve.
