Shy but want to be an engineer?

I’m majoring in accounting because I feel like it’s more suitable for me because I’m quiet and like to work alone. I went crazy in taking quizzes of which major I should take and accounting almost always come up.
However, I’m arguing with myself whether I should change my major into civil engineering because I like the building aspects of it.

Consciously taking yourself out of a major you have a PASSION for, is a terrible idea.

Engineers aren’t valued for being assertive in social pleasantries; they’re valued for being assertive about their professional opinion about engineering.

I work with plenty of fellow engineers who are socially quiet at work. In meetings, they speak up about what’s important.
