Never live for your job but live for the craft.
In general you should work on your strengths because those are the items that will stand out. But there are minimum knowledge requirements in other areas that can hold you back. Figure out what's holding you back from interview feedback cycle.
Being good at one specific thing makes it easier to get a job vs being a little bit good at everything. But it limits you.
The social stuff can be positive or negative. Not going to the christmas party is better than going getting drunk and offending someone. I stopped going to these things because little good can come out of them and a lot of bad. Risk management. In general it's safer not to interact much with others at work or voice political or religious opinions. I think these days your non-social approach might work out better.

And while this is true, if someone isn't monstrously inept in social settings, the most important thing he can do is being out there to leave positive marks on other folks perception of himself/herself. You can think that good work speak for itself, but the truth is that without leaving and breathing advocate it will be lost in translations.
