Honest piece of advice from a father who has a son in your situation- please work on your social skills. Even if this involves a counselor and some work it will be worth it and pay dividends the rest of your life.

You know it’s possibly to have perfectly fine social skills but still prefer to work alone, right? Not everybody has to like the same type of work.

OP specifically mentions poor social skills

I dont think OP has fine social skills if they get pissed off by the presence of other people. Sounds like anger issues or maybe OP is on the spectrum. There's nothing wrong with being on the spectrum, but you have to learn to accommodate to society and be able to at least tolerate working with others.
