My advice is: learn howto interact with people. It is skill you must have, even if it is used rarely.

You should be introvert by choice, not for some crypling fear and stereotypes. There is nothing worse to discover late in life, that you are actually extrovert.

Social interactions are easy, but it is hard to see through smoke screen. There are books which deconstruct and explain interactions word by word. There are drugs which temporary bypass anxiety.

Do not listen to people who say it is cool to be introvert (and have even playlist for introverts).

Feynman bio is a good start
