Just want a job that’s not so stressful/so much pressure

To be fair I'm sure there are much more stressful jobs out there where you have more pressure on you. I'm trying to view it that way as to try to be grateful and not hate it. But I just can't STAND it sometimes. I am a housekeeping supervisor at a 4 star hotel. I'm very grateful that my manager is actually extremely chill. I have never been told off before, even when I have done things wrong before she is really nice about it. I get along with my “direct” colleagues. And I do get along with people in other departments but I'm just very shy & feel like I'm socially awkward, so the pressure of having to interact with people so often (half the time just small talk) really stresses me out sometimes.

I am a housekeeping supervisor at a 4 star hotel. I'm very grateful that my manager is actually extremely chill. I have never been told off before, even when I have done things wrong before she is really nice about it. I get along with my “direct” colleagues. And I do get along with people in other departments but I'm just very shy & feel like I'm socially awkward, so the pressure of having to interact with people so often (half the time just small talk) really stresses me out sometimes.

Recently I have spent so much time stressing/cringing over everything I say ever and it's really getting to me. I just hate this kind of forced socialisation and I'm so bad at it sometimes and I just feel so much stress when I know if I walk through a door there's gonna be people in there I have to talk to, etc.

There's also pressure as obviously everything has to be perfect and I'm responsible and some people in other departments can be really pushy and not understand what I have to do in order to achieve what they want. They ask me to do things that are not that easy and yet expect it to be completed really quickly & perfectly and put so much pressure on me.

Also, I'm not a confrontational person at all and hate being in charge of anyone's drama. Luckily most of the people I supervise are chill & don't get into arguments, BUT there are a few people who do argue and it stresses me out majorly when I'm the one who has to deal with it. Cuz I literally DON'T CARE and the drama is so petty and meaningless. But they come to me all angry and expect me to do something about it when the reason they're angry is so silly and something I would never get angry about and half the time they've caused it.

Just literally so picky about what exactly I want in a job and feel like I don't know what else there is for me to do. There's actually a lot of aspects of my job that I like a lot, but the responsibility/stress/pressure literally hurts my back.
