A suggestion you might want to explore. Find a place that practices pair programming. If you're not very social this might sound intimidating, but 1-1 interactions are much more manageable than group interactions. Pairing gives you a setup that tolerates distractions, because you have two people to absorb it. In the extreme case, one person can be completely checked out, but the pair together can still deliver.

But more importantly, two heads can complement each other to overcome limitations of either. Your pair can support you with things like navigating, communicating, discovery etc. while you may support them in things like solutioning, refactoring, craft etc. Of course you won't be playing a role exclusive to these attributes, but depending on who you are pairing with you can lean more on one side and get support on the other as suitable.
