I am going back to work soon and, despite being the opposite (extremely gregarious), am desperate to find a job that doesn't involve people. My own case is my medications have made me look like a dolt all too often because I can't carry on a conversation very well. So yes, I find myself trying to avoid working with or dealing with people.

I have been considering then a manual repetitive job one where I must deal with others only infrequently.

How do you feel about such a thing? Could that work for you?

In my own example I have an in on a warehouse assembly person's job (filling orders and stacking pallets). Yes it's manual but I can live for the most part in my own 'world' concentrating only on getting the tasks done.
