As an introvert myself I don't always enjoy having to do the "people" stuff of my job, but because that's the most challenging aspect of my job it's also the most rewarding - it keeps me from getting bored at my job because without all the people stuff I would just be sitting at my desk all day doing paperwork, and although that sounds great, it's easily mastered, for me at least, and that leads to me getting bored very quickly. So if you're introverted like me consider that you might find a good job where you never have to interact with anyone but it might not challenge you and help you learn and grow, which to me is more fun that avoiding people all day.

Search for jobs that have descriptions of duties that involve lots of individual work and areas which match with the individuals strengths. Introverts often work well in helping professions, jobs where they interact with one individual at a time, rather than many people at a time, and jobs where they feel they are needed.

Tech support, phone work, and overnight jobs are great for introverts, as are writing, software and web development.

OOH work (for example in IT) is perfect. In my job I rarely have to interact with anyone face to face and I get to work away at problems I like all night / evening long!

Well if a person hates socializing or just isn't that good at it, perhaps a job where he or she don't have to socialize with people face to face might work out. Working from home would be their best bet :)

You can find a job that suits an introvert by speaking to a career counselor or job shadowing and interning to see what you like and not like in different work environments.

Being extrovert is not needed for a lot of areas that you can build your career into. Introvert people usually has their own uniques talents and skills, which you should focus instead of worrying too much about often not being able to do social interactions.

Perhaps you could work behind the scenes? IT Work, creative industries, research work, science and history are all great areas for introverts. You could even find work online.
