Trying very hard to be something you're not also has costs.

True, but no-one is expecting it to be 24/7. I think you just have to exert a different set of skills for a limited time period.

When you're alone and coding, you exert your powers of concentration and focus.

When you're in a social situation, be social.

I'd call myself an introvert, but I can certainly charm and interact with the best of them. I just need some quiet time afterwards to recover :-)
