Social Anxiety Support

I'm looking into getting my first job, but I'm not sure I can really handle customer service or anything like that...
I applied for a job at my local library. Stocking shelves and things seems like a pretty solo job, which might be best for someone like me... But I didn't get a call or anything

What kinds of jobs should I be looking for?
What kinds of jobs do you guys have?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Lab tech.
Did this for 2 years, mostly working alone.

Factory work.
You can be pretty much anonymous in a large factory.

Shelf stacking at a supermarket on the night shift.

My last two jobs dealt mostly with computers. Television closed-captioning and grading scanned tests for the D.O.E.

I'd say don't necessarily limit yourself to something where you won't have any interaction at all. Just look for something that doesn't require a very energetic and outgoing personality. Customer Service would definitely be a bad fit for SA.
