It's my understanding that being a missionary is not just witnessing to people , but serving them in any way possible and showing them the love of Christ. I've been involved in a few ministries and in each one they knew I was quiet and shy and they got me involved in behind the scenes stuff that needed to be done but didn't require much interaction with others. Administrative, planning, preparing food, gathering clothes donations, caring and praying for the missionaries that are on the front lines, all of these things I consider mission work.
If you think God is calling you to missions work, don't give up. As you go where He has called you, He will change you and grow you spiritually, breaking the chains that hold you back. Remember, God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called.

I believe I've been called to do something like that
Hopefully, I'm on the right subject here but I do believe I'm called to serve the homeless, the down, the people who are more unfortunate than I am. Sometime ago, say about 7 years now, It has been lingering on my mind but I for the sake of me...I have not totally begun. I've called several places and not many people have called me back. Maybe they already have too many volunteers. I'm a procrastinator and I need to stop wasting time and start doing what God has called me to do. I'm so useless with my SA that after work, I'm exausted and need time to unwind. How would someone like me be able to work full time in a homeless shelter? That would be my best option...but no one is hiring. I think they may want volunteers but they don't happen to call. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. Or, maybe it's not my time.
