Its not that introverts don't want to, per se, we just aren't prepared at the moment to deal with others.

I take calls all day, offer IT support to entitled doctors. Sometimes I don't even want to talk to my wife after work.

It isn't her, it isn't anyone else having a problem, its just... I do NOT have the energy to mentally deal with people.

So much consideration, and empathy, and shit I just don't possess in great deals. I spend most of that shit at work.

Why is an introvert in a help desk position? Cause I'm fucking stuck here. I lost a GOOD job in the pandemic and I'm trying to survive.

At least I've upgraded my back up job source from retail to help desk. It pays better, has benefits, etc. I can always do it, I just fucking hate it.

Stick with it, man. I did 3 years and now I'm a Sr SecOps Engineer that rarely has to talk with people anymore, and if I do it's other IT guys.

Now when I have to help someone with a computer issue at work it's a treat to help someone instead of something that sucks all your energy.
