Okay, you won't find a job that doesn't involve some amount of interaction with other people. It also depends on where you live in the world. If you live in a place where theatrical/movie production goes on (ideally SoCal) then production of sets and props is a real job. Without more info that the best I can suggest.

Just work in the trades, dude. Find some 62 year old divorced tweaker named Keith and beg him to take you on as an apprentice electrician. Carpentry, tile, HVAC, low volt, flooring, whatever trade as long as it's mostly inside. Eventually you'll only really talk to the same people on the daily and the only subject you'll discuss with clients is your trade.

More often than not there will be some degree of team participation in any IT field. Even electronic repair, which I worked in for a while, will come in two forms: component level repair at a workshop (where there will inevitably be someone who is a jerk that you won't like, or field servicing (board monkey swapping faulty stuff out) which will involve talking to clients.

You see, OP, that you want to be "respectable" but that means overall presentation is a significant factor, which doesn't mean being good-looking but simply coming across as a normal person. So you need to evaluate whether that is possible. Being a tradie might liberate you a bit from such personal presentation but at the same time you must be efficient and competent or you will be picked on. Again, you need to evaluate whether you are up to that.

It occurs to me that long-distance truck driver might be something to consider. The licence can be acquired with a couple of months training.

Ever thought about being an overnight security guard? Basically no interaction, just sit at a desk with a book, every so often do a foot patrol. Very good job for an introvert.

Warehouse work is hard but the only time you need to talk to someone is when you need something from them to complete your task or when someone else needs something from you to complete their task. Highly recommend.
