Maybe you indeed don't have the correct personality to fit in? Personality fit is quite important.

I got 2 first class fresh graduates in my team who I have just kicked out, not because they're dumb or what. But they just cannot focus on and finish their task on hand. Always want to move on to something new when they are not ready yet.

Personality cannot be "improved" 1... The real trick is to find out where can you really excel, not trying to fit into somewhere where you can't excel.
Give you an anology, fish are not built, and thus will never be able to climb trees.

Why I can't fit in?its just some unproven bullshit that  stand in my way,I believe my years of involvement make me stand out from the rest and record speak itself

LOL. The analogy so simple but you still don't understand. Fish are meant to swim, not meant to climb trees.

The recruiters (if they have been around for some time), would have recruited hundreds or thousands of people, and will know what kind of traits would make a person more likely to be successful in the firm. Outgoing people who cannot sit long infront of a computer WILL be miserable in a Big 4. There might be exceptions, but why take a chance on you?

What you believe is irrelevant, what the recruiters believe is relevant. If you really stand out from the rest, why are you not getting interviewed?
Answer: even if you stand out, you might not be what they are looking for.

With your attitude, not much chance.
