Best jobs for people with social anxiety?

58% Normal
10 Comments

Hey guys I developed social anxiety a while back and it's been really frustrating trying to do the things that I used to be able to do. I'm really trying to get better and I want to get a job. I'm also really nervous about having a panic attack on the job since they tend to happen out of nowhere. My panic attacks cause me to lose vision and sometimes even my hearing to the point where I almost faint. I am on medicine but it isn't as effective as I need it to be. Does anyone know of any good jobs that don't involve a lot of social interaction?

    IT. The people who work in this building are all IT engineers who make bank and talk to literally no one for Lord knows how long.

    Unfortunately, most entry level jobs and jobs in general require you to deal with people unless you're working at home or in a field like IT. I'd Google it, shit.

    I believe places like Wallyworld have folks who stock the shelves at night.
    Almost every professional building of any size has people who come in at night to clean. Sometimes it's a team (but they work separately) or just an individual or two. Night work pays better than day work and you certainly don't need any education or skills for entry level on this kind of work.

    Seek therapy and get help. Cure your disease, rather than mitigating the symptoms, bud.

    I recently learned that there are actual job openings for hermits. But ironically it involves having lots of random people come talk to you. So that's out.

    I guess anything where you work from home would be about the best. Typically this would mean having a skill where your product is information (e.g. art, software) so your physical location doesn't matter.
