UK, EU, US?
If its UK I would suggest you find some reputable 3rd party recruiters (yes some do exist although rare) and start talking to them. Even if nothing comes of it, practise makes perfect.

- davman 8y agoI'm sure good recruiters exist there too! In all honesty, talking to people in an engaging way is a key skill no matter what industry you want to be in, Computer Science or otherwise. If you really want to avoid people, you can maybe follow the stereotype of grumpy sysadmin, but even then you need to land the role in the first place. Really just find something you are passionate about (hopefully Computer Science!) and talk to someone about it passionately. Then talk to someone else. Then someone else. Rinse and repeat until you can convince someone you really want the job they have on offer.

- davman 8y agoIn this case I can definitely recommend using a 3rd party recruiter. It costs you nothing (they take a % on top of your salary from your employer), and will often help coach you on the best way to get a particular role as its in their best interest (€€€) for you to succeed. In some cases they will even prepare the recruitment team at the employer by explaining that you know your stuff but struggle to communicate effectively early in the process. Find some other CS people in your country and ask around for a good recruiter.
