Sky is a great MMO that you should not play if you don't like talking to other people.

Outside of socializing, the main gameplay loop consists of an endless grind (the symbolism of which is explained on a poster in a secret area modeled after TGC's old US office) and a constant FOMO from seasons and limited time events.
This makes it hard to recommend, but regardless of what I said I will still say yes. Of course you're going to meet a lot of weirdos online, but you'll also run into some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Chat is entirely optional, you don't need to spend those three candles or sit down at a stranger's table. You can get far with emotes alone, I should know because it took months to make the choice to unlock it with the close friends I made early on.

So give it a try, maybe the friends you make along the way will keep you coming back.
