I realize that getting a Job is good. But OP's still in High School, if he wanted, he could take AP classes so that extra time could be spent studying, he wouldn't have to get out of his comfort zone just yet, it still looks good for college, and his parents should be completely fine with it.

No, they really aren't. Sports are healthy and they look good on college application letters or resumes. Getting a job earns you money (which teaches you how to use it) and it gives you skills that you'll need. Dealing with other people is something everyone has to do, and if you can do it well you'll be more successful.
I say get a job. Not every job requires you to be around people all the time. And there's money.
Getting out of your comfort zone is a good thing. It's how you grow.
It makes me feel really old to say this, but I have to agree with OP's parents on this one. I'm not the most social person myself, but I definitely think that being social is healthy and I try to socialize when I can.
Sometimes, healthy stuff is uncomfortable. But that's life.
