Sales is not an option!!!

Can I survive sell side? Or should I jump straight to buyside out of college? I am hesitant to be a sell side analyst because I am not a good salesman/customer service person. I am friendly and enjoy talking to close friends but I'm not good at talking to strangers. I have a good track record to prove that I'm not a good salesman lol. But I am confident that I can excel in all analytical aspects of a sell side job. I am confident that I can produce a good research report. Soooo... Do you think I would survive sell side? Or would buyside be better?
