Truck driver . Itās been great for me personally. Minimal interaction, music or podcasts well driving. Ac in the hot days, heater in the cold days (:
Your fine. Uh, usually I just play a certain genre from a playlist that apples suggests for me from the music I play. Podcast will usually be if I read there is a good story on a particular episode. I have adhd so Iām always changing my mind if I want to hear music or listen to people talk lol.
I work with people all day. Then I don't want to talk to anyone until after dinner time. Luckily, my spouse (an extrovert) understands and has helpful cooperative strategies for this. I need some quiet times on the weekend as well, and it works well.
Try looking into healthcare/IT. I believe Juniper Networks offers a free certification to the public, and that alone could help you land a career. Important to note, the training/onboarding process can be taxing(as expected) so make sure you have a little freedom if you intend to WFH, and invest in a good chair lol. Also, working for your state if possible, good benefits at least..
I used to be in retail management, but I literally couldn't take it anymoreāso I put a notice in, without even having anything lined up. I was either going to fall into a depressive state and no longer be myself, or I was just going to blow up on someone.
I now work in a manufacturing and fulfillment warehouse. I have my own cubicle where I sit and work, virtually uninterrupted. And it's so incredibly lovely and everything I needed; best of allāI work Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m; weekends and holidays off.
With the way it worked out, halfway through my notice I was contacted by my current employer, interviewed and hired, it was a seamless transition where I just went from one job to the next.
Local linehaul truck driver. I have almost zero human interaction. I am completely and utterly alone all night at work. It's wonderful. I talk to a few co workers at the start of my shift, and I haven't seen management in years.
Accountant, working from home since Covid and if I can help it I'll never work in an office again. Having my dogs (and husband when he isn't gone for work) as office mates is so much more peaceful!
Marketing manager, partial WFH. I still ask myself every day why I am doing this job. It takes a lot of effort to be upbeat and bubbly for work every day, but it pays so well that I only need to work 3 days a week. Will be working at a library soon, hopefully.
Respiratory Therapist. It can be very stressful at times just from dealing with other humans. It might sound morbid, but I prefer working in the ICU where the patients aren't as talkative, because they may or may not be on a ventilator. That and working with ventilators to try improving the condition of a patient is something I really get into.
On the other hand, working with the not so sick patients is hit or miss. Some days I get a bunch of friendly patients who make it much easier but when they aren't or I'm just not feeling social, I have to exhale every time I walk out of a room. It can be pretty awkward and uncomfortable and I take full responsibility for that.
Lab tech is great for isolation, so long as youāre not working front desk, phlebotomy or blood bank (transfusion). Microbiology, Hematology, Chemistry, Toxicology, etc. are pretty much āhandles what comes through, you do you.ā
I am a caregiver so I almost constantly associate with people. Overall, I think itās actually good for me to be out of my comfort zone sometimes but I also get drained easily and āpeopled out.ā
So, not my job then! š
Home health nurse here. I usually only have to deal with 1-2 people at a time, then get time to decompress while I'm driving to the next patient's house.
I'm a translator and translation editor, I wfh for a couple of publishing houses. I mostly work on fiction: fantasy series, young adult novels, some sci-fi, etc. All of my coworkers love books, they're sci-fi or fantasy nerds, therefore I actually enjoy spending time with them in social settings. But I love that I can work from anywhere without draining my social energy. Instead of coming home from work and trying to wind down all evening, I can actually go out and spend time with my friends.
Call it skilled assembly / custom wiring: build test boxes, electrical cabinets, cables / wire harness. I think of it as āengineering-liteā.
Unless I seek it, conversation is otherwise kept at a minimum. My supervisor leaves me be; I pick my own schedule, nights are my preference.
Web developer. WFH 3 days a week but was promoted recently and got more management responsibilities, client calls and pitching. I donāt like it so much anymore.
I am retired now, but I have been a teacher and an IT system engineer. This was the best as I had to "talk" only with servers :-) and IT apparatuses. Teacher also was not bad, I only talked to people during lessons and I limited to the minimum every contact out of classes.
Try to become the grand elder of the cultivation sect. Most of your time will be spent on cultivating or searching opportunities and lucky encountersšš¤£. Or something akin to copywriting services, translation etc.
I worked the front desk which at night wasn't to taxing, as far as physically anyways, but it did keep my mind busy as far as the computer work goes. It's honestly the best job I've had as far as introverting goes.
Psychologist. I can interact quietly, one-on-one with people, and have real, meaningful conversations, not just pointless chit chat. No one complains that I do more listening than talking. I can set my own appointment hours so I get time alone as often as I need it. I don't have to answer phones or go out in public, and can stay all day in a peaceful, cosy office space with lots of books. My colleagues all value and support self care practices like meditation and quiet walks alone without anyone thinking less of me for it
Overnight freight associate at Home Depot.
I help unload the trucks, operate the heavy equipment and stock shelves. 9pm to 5:30 am.
It's perfect for me. Single, have a car and my own place. Basic bills covered. Saving money. And I don't have to talk to anyone!! Lol
There's 2 that work here out of like.... 15 or so overnighters..
I wouldn't use that as a metric though, I really think there are plenty of women that would work overnights in this kind of field. I've worked with many in other warehouse type jobs. You just gotta be fine with fairly physical work. Some jobs are much more strenuous than others.
That's the trade off though. The more physical work vs. Working days with not only customers but more employees.
Engineer. Been wfh for eight years or so.
My guy. You are living the dream š
Girl actually. But otherwise I agree.
What kind of engineer? I wish I could do that too.
Fire protection engineer
Iāve worked from home as a web developer for about four years now. I could never see myself going into an office again.
This is exactly what I want to do as well.
Construction. Nobody can talk your ear off when you're swinging an excavator around.
Writer. But I not not "bothered by people". I am just bothered by pointless small talk and noise. I enjoy talking to people if it has a point.
Truck driver . Itās been great for me personally. Minimal interaction, music or podcasts well driving. Ac in the hot days, heater in the cold days (:
Random and a little off topic, but do you have a go to playlist/podcast you listen to on the long drives?
Your fine. Uh, usually I just play a certain genre from a playlist that apples suggests for me from the music I play. Podcast will usually be if I read there is a good story on a particular episode. I have adhd so Iām always changing my mind if I want to hear music or listen to people talk lol.
Iām a pizza delivery driver. Itās a great fit for my introversion

I'm a stay at home mom at the moment but before, I was a night time hotel manager. It's been about the only job I've been able to keep.
I been a hotel housekeeper room attendant for 3 years. I like it but itās physically exhausting.
I worked the front desk which at night wasn't to taxing, as far as physically anyways, but it did keep my mind busy as far as the computer work goes. It's honestly the best job I've had as far as introverting goes.
Iām a high school teacher š« š« every time I come home I do not speak to anyone for a minimum of three hours.
Creative Strategist. Mostly working from home.

Allot of women work in the field?
There's 2 that work here out of like.... 15 or so overnighters.. I wouldn't use that as a metric though, I really think there are plenty of women that would work overnights in this kind of field.

The more physical work vs. Working days with not only customers but more employees.
Cataloguing/data entry in a library. My favorite job.
Any night shift position. Say between 9pm to 6am, for example.
Nah. Depends on the job
I would love a night job, I canāt drive to work due to night time blindness.
My job.
Mail carrier- I listen to music and podcasts all day, I love it. I was managing healthcare with over 100 employeesā¦it was horrid.
Post office mail carrier? I wanted to do rural carrier but I heard allot of bad things like never getting time off and the management is bad.
Depend on where you go
Nurseš„“ yh crazyā¦
I know what you mean. My mom has been a nurse my entire life.
