What are the best jobs for introverts?

While you can definitely seek out jobs that align with introverted tendencies, consider challenging yourself to take on responsibilities more suited for extroverts. The world seems to be more structured for extroverts than it is for introverts, so this could open up more opportunities for you. When we're at work, we often need to be able to participate in shared spaces rather than isolating ourselves in our offices to get something done. If you're willing to put yourself out there more, you can learn to improve your communication skills, practice active listening, and hone your presentation skills.

I work as a truck driver. Most of my working hours are spent on the road and I rarely have to talk to people. I used to work in a corporate office job and it feels SO good to not have to go to a million meetings every day. I also used to work retail and that was even worse. But when you're a truck driver the road is peaceful and I can enjoy time by myself. I like that I can enjoy the scenery and listen to audiobooks or music while I drive, and then if I'm feeling lonely I can always call up a friend or my wife.

I'm a software engineer. Sometimes I have meetings if a manager wants to talk through the details of something they want me to build, but usually those are quick chats with just a few clarifying questions. Most of my time is spent coding in blissful solitude! I also get to work from home so I don't even have to worry about being in the same building as my coworkers haha

I've switched to the night shift at my grocery store job and I'm really liking it as someone who tends to be more introverted. You don't get as many customers on the graveyard shift so it's more quiet and you're mostly just straightening things up, restocking the shelves, doing some cleaning, things like that. It also means that my days are free so I can run errands while everyone else is at work! It might take a little bit of adjusting if you're not naturally a night owl, but I'd say it's worth it.
