When extroversion becomes immoderate, they become masochists who crave attention and interpersonal intensity. As a result, whenever someone tells me they are a "people person," I give them a wide berth because I remember the advice I was given as a young boy which was, "you are what you eat." I'm quite surprised that this is a large part of the top comment. I'm not an extrovert but I love office life, despite its flaws. The primary flaws of office life for me are: 1. Commute. Currently not a problem but it will be in the future for me. 2. Open plan offices are the norm and make focusing more difficult. 3. Slight more difficulty in eating home-cooked food as if you aren't organised, you end up buying lunch rather than cooking at home. I don't think I have a perverse addiction to conflict. Major advantages of working in an office include: 1. I work more productively usually. The environment helps me focus, rather than goof off. 2. It is much easier to have impromptu coffee and lunch conversations and interesting discussions, both work related and otherwise. This increases team social bonding and speeds up knowledge transfer. 3. The people I work with in the office regularly are easier to relate to and think well of than faces online.
