Fully agree. I'm the kind of person who really enjoys tinkering alone and I can get hooked on a good problem for days... Did the C++ grandmaster challenge in high school and built my own smartwatch. So I belive i qualify as a nerd. But I'm also an extrovert who's good with people. At least my friends and family think so. Plus my wife thinks it's awesome that I can repair so much stuff. The assumption that tech people cannot have great relationships is just wrong. Try not to let it influence you and instead just practice the social skills necessary to meet and get along with people. It'll make you happier. And having friends tends to make work easier, too. But really, do the work. Even for us (lucky?) extroverts, conversation skills are still something that you need to practice if you want to be good at it.
