The tech field is full of introverts (me included). While the severity of the introvert behaviors can vary greatly, things like computer programming attract people like us like a moth to a flame. Most (normal) people would cringe at the thought of spending 8 hours straight, alone in your office, to fix a bug or write some new code; but we thrive on it. Still, even introverts need human interaction on occasion. Networking is important, even if you are just interacting with others like yourself (with the same apprehensions). If you find it extremely uncomfortable to socialize at all; you have to work at it, even if it feels unnatural. Like many things in life, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.
