You won't pair with a colleague, because you don't like it, because it would "disrupt your work", even though you could cause the other person to become much more productive in much shorter time. You're not only being a jerk by doing so, you're actually undermining your project and putting your "decades of successful projects" at risk. Yeah, highly rational decision, based on your dislike of (as per OP) interacting with other people. I'm so happy I never met you.
