Social skills are a huge part of my own IT work.
If you can use social skills effectively, you get to decide (to some degree) what you work on. If you don't, then someone else decides what you work on. As long as you're okay with that trade, there's nothing wrong with it.

If you're serious, that's an awfully dark thought.

Your personal success may depend on your ability to communicate with your peers, managers, and subordinates. The linked page is not exclusively about finding a mate; in fact, on a quick scan, I didn’t see that mentioned at all.

No social skills needed, you just need to be honest. So say that you'll leave because the current work is boring/stressful and the will let you choose the project you want if you are any good. Also usually they want to put their best developers on the most interesting problems so they'd ask you to do it anyway.

You need to be coding, but you also need to cooperate and relate with your coworkers.

Stop wasting time voicing your feelings and get back to drilling LeetCode before you lose your job.

If being a software engineer and having a girlfriend are mutually exclusive then I’ll find something else to do.
