Ironic coming from someone who couldn't get over the topic. On the other hand, you're right. Learning and implementing new languages and algorithms is not for people who waste their time only socializing, you need to do some research and have an open mind in order to do that (but you couldn't do/have). It's not also for people who can't spend less than 5 minutes in Google to do a quick search.
Now I'm not saying being sociable is bad (or being only a programmer is good), but a balance from both (and many other things) doesn't do any harm.
