I would not recommend Air Traffic Controller or Construction for those who can't handle a lot of stress or being yelled at.

Computer Support works really well for someone who isn't good at dealing with others in person. As a Support you can use your knowledge to

walk users through problems over the phone without ever seeing them in person... I've done this from my apartment, and it's nice for a

computer geek that can't handle the social situations and tension involved with working at a place like the Geek Squad.

In fact, you can get an IT associates degree 100% online, and pretty much never leave your apartment.

These are really good choices... but it can be tough to find one of these jobs with a cool manager. These can either turn out really chill or really tense... it all
depends on the managers you get stuck with. Generally the younger managers are better to work with because the old dudes have usually been doing the same
job their whole life, so their tired and bored with their work environment. As a result, they sometimes unknowingly take it out on the new guys (just in my experience)

Most of those things are things that I'd be too afraid to do lol. If not all of them.

How about translator? You know, those people who sit in their office or at home and translate books/articles etcetera. That's what I was aiming for a couple of years ago until I realized I couldn't stand French...

I cast my vote for Quasar's additions. Warehouse work is cool to me. Honestly, most physical labor is cool to me. I think I am geared towards being physically active for the majority of the time. I have so much pent up energy, and I never feel tired. I sleep restlessly most nights, and I attribute it to my sitting at the computer so much. I still want to remain reclusive and avoid social interaction with most people, but I'd love to be able to go to work and get wore out. I think it'd be satisfying, and I'd probably sleep better at night if I was actually tired.

Oh my lord, I've made the most exciting break-through. I've decided that I want to be a projectionist at a movie theatre. It's perfect. But, does that job even exist anymore, lol.
