I can empathise with this - I was edging on being an extravert until I took about a year of remote work. I think social skills come from practice and exposure, so when you stop interacting with people for great lengths of time, your skills weaken and you want isolation out of fear of showing your ineptitude. It's a vicious cycle; the only solution I have found is putting yourself in a social environment by force (i.e. workplaces, clubs etc).
