Well like it or not you will make the most money in sales with this set of skills. While you don't have to like to socialize just for the money. It doesn't mean that you should pass up a career in sales.
There is a sales technique called consultative sales. Study about this method. Then once you understand this method, consider what you want to consult about? In my family we are good salespeople. I sold real estate for years and rarely met a Realtor I liked. But I was very good at my job and have moved on to just investing for myself. My son sells wireless phones and plans. He loves high tech gadgets and is very good at what he does. Insurance sales, is very helpful profession. There are so many jobs that boil down to sales that you can choose from anything out there. I knew some people that were socially conscious sales family. The whole gang sold recyclables to industries for manufacturing. I've known sales people who sell hardware to the automotive industry, selling paint to the airline industry, ideas to the advertising industry, health care to the infirm, medical supplies to hospitals, food to restaurants....
So don't discount the highest paid profession out there, just because you think that socializing for a buck is bad. You don't have to do it that way at all.
Of course you could always get a job in a corporation doing something meaningless and mindless for $40K a year and call that smart.
Best of luck

Try this phrase "do you want fries with that??" LOL! *jk* The best job for you is a job that your heart is into...something that you love to do. You work on average 8 hours a day..that's 1/3 of your day, so you better like what you do or else why bother doing it, right? Have you met with a career counselor or a job placement agency? They might be able to give you insight and direction much more than we can in this forum.

At the top of the description, you stated you're easy going,but afterwards you declined that...
By the way, it also depends on your major interest which will be likely put you to the workplace you deserved. From your statement, personally I think you can be a writer...
Above all, it is in your hands to pick any job you like. Think again what to decide because it's simply useless for other people to encourage you attempt any works that won't suit you best.
Good Luck! :)

What about a planner, like wedding or parties. Or, how about something in management--hotel or restaurant, for example. These are all fun places to meet new people, but don't necessarily require hard pressure sales.

sounds like you could make a great personal assistant to the right person, either that or something in public relations.
