Like i want to do something where i am my own boss, i make my own time. Im just not sure how possible something like that would be or if its a good idea, Im even sure what i could do to be self employed. I tend to dream big and this may be one of those dreams. I just feel limited on what i can do, Like im too afraid to drive and im stuck at home because i have to look after parents and such. I dont even know how to make a actual resume.

Like im too afraid to drive

Probably not. Finding work is the biggest problem. If you don't want to drive around and talk to people then how are you going to get any work? You could maybe do web work online, but you still need to get started somewhere, and that means going out and talking to people.

Now if you happen to be somewhere and you overhear someone talking about how they wish they had X or Y and you know how to do that you could start talking to them. But like cold calling people about making a website? Probably not something you'd want to do.
