You say "My strengths: Engaging in conversation with people one on one and coming up with solutions/work arounds to a situation. I can empathize with people very well and have a problem-solving mind. "

Self-assessment is not as valid as assessment by others, especially by those who would employ you. Plus, there can be a big difference between what one enjoys doing and what one can be gainfully productive doing.

If your psych thinks you are fully occupied just maintaining your own needs, that means something.

I think you should set your short term goal at finding some counsel about your strengths and weaknesses including interpersonal relationships, work relationships and work environments. Hopefully, you can find a sweet spot where they all overlap so you can look for opportunities in that area.
