Don't be distracted from delivering the highest quality most thoughtful work and contributions you can, that's what will count most. Use your social/verbal communication time efficiently; e.g. help others on your team, and be seen to do so. Otherwise you can ignore all the extroverted people and their gibbering. All the intelligent people in tech know that meetings are nearly always extremely inefficient and that people's off-the-cuff output in meetings is much lower quality than thoughtful written output. So don't worry about it; just concentrate on excelling at the stuff you love and fuck all the extroverted meeting-oriented stuff, it's nearly all nonsense.
