I think a lot of people that get into computers have something where they enjoy interacting with computers more than real people. Granted, even on the internet I enjoy interacting with people, by reading and writing comments like this. But real time conversations are not always enjoyable. They can be enjoyable in the right place and time, but the company office is often not that place or time. Also you don't get to choose your office mates, and it's not uncommon to have some sort of overbearingly loud/chatty office mates who just enjoy torturing you with their stories even if you are not interested.
