You should find a better working environment.
While I totally struggle with interruptions (and I have the ADHD bonus points), they always come from team mates that I globally appreciate. I hate interruptions and I do complain about it frequently to my coworkers, but that says absolutely nothing about them being jerks.
When you work in a team, you are frequently blocked and need someone else to give you an answer, even as a programmer. That’s an organizational problem that have to be tackled, for sure, but it rarely have something to do with individuals.
I once had a « PM » that liked to put its laptop on my desk to see what I was doing and to « pair » with me while I was programming. But he knew nothing about programming. THAT is wrong. I left that company.
