Do you like to be around people when you work or when you are at home or do you like to be by yourself why?

I prefer to work alone and uninterrupted by other people. I think I get a lot more accomplished if there is no one else around to distract me. I get easily distracted, so it is better for me to be alone.

I'd have to say i'm a people person. I came a big family so I think that has something to do with it. I love talking to my sister and friends. My husband on the other hand was in only child and like to be left alone. Happy Mylotting!!!!

Hey moneyman, I find that I prefer to be by myself. I do enjoy spending time with friends occasionally, but I enjoy being alone with my cats and at home on my computer here at mylot more. I find that I have more in common with my mylot friends then my other friends and the more that I get to know them the more that I see that we all kind of feel the same way. When I am with people I do have a good time and am pleasant and friendly and no one would ever figure that I prefer being alone.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that I'm a people person. I'm not very friendly and outgoing, but I like having people, like friends or family, around. I don't mind being alone either and I actually like it especially when I need to focus and would like to have people leave me alone and not bother me.

Unfortunately i am a super social kinda guy and can pretty much talk to anyone. It kinda gets me in trouble at work sometimes cause i could sit and BS to half a dozen people before i even get to my desk. I think it's a gift though because it's helped me on alot of interviews and made me alot of girlfriends. ;)

I enjoy being around people I know but feel uncomfortable around those I don't know very well so although I would consider myself to be a people person I would prefer to know the people that I am hanging out with as I don't make friends easily because I feel awkward until I get to know someone well . I would much rather work with people though then to work alone .

I like to be alone when i am working, but when i am free, i dont mind having people around, but depends on who they are, sometimes if the company is boring, its better to be alone, and sit on comoputer or read some book, or listen to some good music.

I used to enjoy working with others, when I was employed, but now I work for myself, by myself. I do like people. I can be very sociable and I'm a friendly person, but ever since I was a child I have been able to do anything, or go anywhere, on my own. I don't need the company of others to enjoy myself, in fact I prefer to do things in my own time and in my own way. I don't like having to rely on other people, but I can work well as part of a team and I willingly co-operate when I need to. I am just very independely minded and would rather make my own decisions and choices in life.

I am not exactly a people person; but my work requires me to be sociable, so I have to wear this smile and be nice to people. However if I'm at home, or off-work, I would love to be ALONE - doing the things I really enjoy - reading, watching TV, going online - all very lonely interests!
