Ask HN: Do you know of freelance dev work with text-only communication?

This may be kind of an odd question, but here I go anyway: Do you know of freelance dev work where I can communicate only through text like email/slack or similar? I really cannot talk over phone/zoom or in person. I absolutely cannot react to questions in an adequate way instantaneously, I just get complete blackouts and everything vanishes. It seems to be some mix of imposter syndrome and general anxiety. I am already getting professional help for it. I am no rockstar developer but I think I have a some decent skills. I know python, databases, micro services, docker, am starting to get experience in AWS and also have a some front-end experience. I built systems that are in use for more than five years reliably and have always been given projects from family members when I was in university. Right after university, I started to work for a startup but quit after a few months because it always felt like I had to play a role and I was anxious every day. I know this is a hard problem, because software development depends a lot on communicating effectively but maybe someone has had similar struggles. So, my question is: does anyone have ideas how to circumvent this problem? Maybe someone wants to cooperate and act as project-manager? Maybe someone knows where I can find work that does not require calls?
