I Have Social Anxiety

I translate articles for a website. The boss is going to fire an overseas staff member, on Skype. He asked me to be on the call to translate as he fires them. I have nausea thinking about it. Skype. The boss watching me work as I do the simultaneous translation. The staff member (whom I've known for years) listening to me fire him on Skype... Can I get a job with NO human interaction? Me doing something without having to report to anyone or supervise anyone...? I've considered librarian, forest ranger, nature photographer, artist (not that I particularly qualify for any of that), but no, all of those require interacting with a "boss" or (worse) a "customer"... Humans are social creatures relying on society to survive, there's no escaping "human interaction". I'm faulty that way: a social animal dreading social interaction, an evolutionary dead-end worthy of a Darwin Award.
