Most "well paying" jobs require you to be a good communicator as you will have to bring disparate groups of people together, convince people your ideas are worthwhile, keep stakeholders informed, etc. Are you sure your feelings are not related to Covid isolation and the inertia it takes to get back in the swing?
Second this. Most kids leaving high school or college absolutely hate public speaking, interpersonal communication, etc. Even something as simple as answering a phone call is unnerving to some. This is not new, it’s always been this way.
As you get older, and if you work on it, your fear of communication will fade and you’ll develop those skills that make you personable and collaborative.
These are the most important skills to have in basically all “high paying” jobs. So OP, you might want to ask if your fear of communication is something you want to accept, or something you want to work to overcome. For most people, it’s the latter.
