I thought that these type of arguments are stupid, like why would I need to hang out with people in an office, I've got my buddies for that after work. Later I moved to another country where I knew no one beside my wife, and then I realized that mingling with office crowd is actually the easiest way to expand your social circle when you're in a new environment. Yes, you can do that on conferences or in a gym or clubs, but it all takes more effort for introverts like me.
- jackcosgrove 7y agoEven if you don't talk to others, being around people is very comforting. It meets a basic need we have as humans.
- dorkinspace 7y agoI think this is a generalization about the type of person you are. For me, I much prefer to work in a space where I am completely alone. I like to have music blasting without headphones, drink a smelly tea, or eat a stinky meal at my desk. I can't do any of those things in an office with others around me.
- fishmaster 7y agoNope, I don't like to be in an open floor plan office when I'm getting disturbed every 5 seconds. I would 100% like to work from home.
