Anyway, my point was that if you can find a small office to work in (for example, because I don't know what kind of work you do or want to do), it might not be so bad for you. I'm pretty antisocial because of my anxiety, but this is manageable for me most of the time. (At least until tax season, when traffic into our office really increases.)

I have never had a job that required me to be on the phone, so I often wonder if I would be okay with that role or not. I'm not sure. It would probably be easier. I thought receptionists were on the front lines when it comes to interaction...and I thought there was more in-person communication going on. But if most of the communication is on the phone, I think I could handle that.
