Answer 1

Go to hell!!!

Answer 2

I don't have a social anxiety disorder - but have done the same thing. When I was in high school and shortly after I graduated I was super out-going and loved being around people all the time. But, now (6 years later) I don't like being around a lot of people - and crowds really bother me. The reason this changed for me is that I work with people 40+ hours a week and I sit in horrific traffic every day. By the time my day is done I am so sick of people - I just want to be left alone!! Could it be this?? You'd know if you had a social anxiety because social situations would stress you out and make you super nervous - or you'd have anxiety attacks (This happens to my friend). She's on meds for it, and is fine. Maybe, if none of this fits - go see your GP ***I don't want you to feel like I am trivializing your situation, however, speaking in public is a huge issue for many people!! It's a scary thing to be in front of a crowd, all those eyes staring at you...

Answer 3

I think a good job may be some kind of programming for a city or county database. You go weeks at a time without talking to poeple and manage database and mysql type stuff. I know a guy at the county who takes care of the system, and he is in his little cube with barely any interaction.

Being an artist would also be good, but you'd need a front person to get your work shown and stuff, and if you were good, you'd have to go to showings, and you wouldn't like that.

Being a sruvivalist living off the land alone on a mountain--very extreme, but again, no people. Other jobs require lotsa people. Good luck.

Answer 4

First thought: Executioner: lots of states still put people to death, and you do hate people, right? But there may be too much "down" time, unless you could travel and execute..or the Military might need Snipers..

Isolated jobs: Lighthouse Keeper, Forest Fire Tower Staff, Wildlife Researcher, Geologist, Arctic Researcher, Data Researcher

Potentially isolated jobs: Entomologist, Animal Researcher, Paper/Wood Scientist, Statistician, Marine Biologist, Plant Biologist, Soil Scientist, Wildlife/Nature Photographer, Farmer, Zoo Keeper, MicroBiologist, Alaskan Pilot, Crop Scientist, Engineer, Artist, Writer, Computer Programmer, Medical Coder/Transcriber (working from home, of course), Bomb De-fuser (might be short-term work if you're not good at it), Self-employment.

Answer 5

That depends entirely upon your level of education. Since you don't strike me as one who likely has or will go to college, then I'd say your options are rather limited. It's going to be very difficult to get a job that requires NO interaction with people. At the very least, you'll likely have to deal with a boss or employee or 2. You might try a job that has you checking on things - i.e. meter reader (gas, water, electric), garbage man, dump truck driver, one of those guys who drives around and empties porta-potties, etc.

If you can somehow manage to get through college, then being an engineer of some sort - they are notorious for not being able to get along with people - or if you really want to be alone, then go get a forestry degree - you'll have to study like hell, 'cause it is NOT an easy degree to obtain - and then you can go live in a fire watch tower way out in the woods somewhere, where you'll be lucky to see anyone for months at a time.

Answer 6

I read your profile and boy do you have a lot of self perfectionist issues,well the best job for you would be an over the road truck driver,I used to do over the road but now I'm a local driver,but when your out there you are totally alone,away from everyone and everything you know...but the moneys good

Answer 7

You can seek out vocational testing, generally through a psychologist's office because psychologists specifically are trained in testing, to determine what kind of employment would suit your personality. I am not certain where you can locate free vocational testing. If there is one near you, try calling a college or university's psychology department and ask if they could refer you someplace for free or low cost testing. Perhaps a Vocational Rehabilitation office would be able to refer you as well or a state employment office.

Answer 8

You could write books, you could invent things, or you could work on an assembly line. You really don't have a lot of options. Most jobs these days require that you work with people.

Answer 9

a grave digger

Answer 10

graveyard shift
