>I want to be alone - what's so wrong with that? If you are writing software just for yourself, there is nothing wrong with that.

And I am saying that as someone who initially went into comp sci for reasons similar to yours. Some of the best engineers I ever worked with had amazing communication skills, and it acted as a x10 multiplier to their technical skills and overall productivity.
