Is it possible to work in a team if you are an unsociable introvert?

I am an unsociable introvert, a typical silent person who spends a lot of time alone. I am very clumsy in communication, but when the conversation is about a case in which I understand very well, or on a topic that interests me, I can chat non-stop.
For reference:
In general, I am friendly, but simple communication / getting to know people is not very easy, there is some kind of awkwardness. I don't feel comfortable being in the office with other people who communicate easily with each other, not only for work. I sit stupidly and work in silence. I coped well with work duties at my previous jobs (not in the IT field), but at the last 2 I literally could not stand large teams.
Now I am self-taught web development and looking for a job in this field. Actually, I have 3 questions, 1 of which is indicated in the title:
1) How to deal with the fear of communicating with colleagues in a team? (although this can be left unanswered, there is probably no accurate and working technique for this)
2) Is it possible to work in a team if you are a non-communicative introvert? (my previous jobs didn't require a lot of communication with colleagues, mostly only with the boss)
3) Is it easier to work remotely than in the office if you are a terribly unsociable introvert?
Please answer introverts with communication problems, I really want to know about the experience of people like me :) Thanks in advance for the answers, if anyone responds.

  1. Practice. The basics of yourself are unlikely to change, and the desire to communicate will never appear, but regular work on yourself can teach you to portray an extrovert and successfully carry out the proper measure of communication.
  2. Yes. Moreover, many of us are introverts to one degree or another.
  3. Easier, but not the fact that it is better.

I am an unsociable introvert

Very nice, and I'm Igor. For an uncommunicative introvert, you tell too much about yourself that no one will read.
Going straight to the question: yes, it is possible, especially if the manager is understanding.

I'm exactly the same. You have to make an effort on yourself every time you need to talk to someone. And of course it's hard.
Now I work in a small team, I mostly sit in silence, but it doesn’t seem to bother the rest, and in general, time goes by, I get used to people and it becomes somehow easier.
In general, probably at work, as in any other situation, there is only one way out - to force yourself, because there is no other way))
