This abject fear of contact with other people reminds me of an episode of "The Outer Limits." Quick summation, it was set in a future where all people lived in apartments where they had no contact with other people and all of their needs were met by an AI hologram guy. The inciting incident was when an old lady died of a heart attack, she had her pills but couldn't open the bottle, she called for help but even though her neighbors heard her they just ignored her, and the AI being just a hologram could do nothing but call an ambulance which didn't arrive in time. After that the AI basically locked everyone in their apartments and stopped giving them food and water, forcing them to break out of their apartments and work together to overcome his security systems to escape, all for the purpose of showing them how important it is to cooperate and rely on other people, then he told them to destroy his AI core so they wouldn't be tempted to live like that again.
