Some are introverted and can't get it, they are born that way. You can't just force them. Lucky for the op there are many desk jobs that requires fewer social and presentation skills. Personally I am an Accountant and all I need to do is data entry, balancing , etc, my job doesn't need much social skills. On the other hand those on marketing department need it a lot. Best for op to pursue a job within the accounts department.
I've tried all my life and still do. It's like a short person trying to be professional basketball player, they can play basketball if they want but they'd be better at a different sport
As someone who used to be cripplingly shy and had a lot of social anxiety, I agree. Plus, the only way you can improve your social skills is to actually socialize. Yes, it will be very awkward and uncomfortable at first, but with time you'll gain confidence and it will feel more natural. All trying to avoid social interaction does is at best keep your social anxiety the same, and at worst make it even worse.
EVERYONE deals with anxiety at some point in their life. We have to work through it.
Unfortunately, today's society seems more geared towards using shortcomings as a crutch and making excuses for why people can't do things, rather than encouraging them to try to work through their issues. Yes, some people have issues that are harder to work through than others, but there is always some room for improvement and something that can be done.

Yes.
Surviving in a society involves being social.
Instead of coddling your poor social skills by fixating your life around it, you should try to better yourself and learn how to be human.
