The world is littered with people who are smart or well-educated, but who have for whatever reason not made any other impact. I know many well-qualified people who are long term unemployed or working in minimum wage jobs.
Many of them cite the same reasons as OP. That they don't feel they fit in, or that they don't like dealing with people - or that they find other people irritating or boring.
I'm afraid that many people look at things from the point of view that social interaction is part of the human condition and that for the majority of occupations, interpersonal skills are as important attributes as any other.
Not to be unsympathetic, but my point of view is similar - it's one thing to believe in your potential and your ability and believe that it is great, but wasted - however there has to be a recognition that it is not quite as potent as all that if it is inhibited by some part of your psyche.
If you can find some way to fulfil a highly "skilled" occupation and get past your emotional/psychological issues, then that's clearly the best outcome so long as you are happy.
Otherwise, and I say this in the kindest possible way - you just need to get over yourself and be content working in the most well-paid job you can find that gives you peace from other people, even if it is driving or cutting the grass in a cemetary. So much better than (like some people I know) carrying a chip on the shoulder about their assumed qualities and qualifications for their whole life and living hand to mouth .
