Reply #20: I feel exactly the same way about working in an office.

I can't even handle spending that much time with people that I really DO like, let alone with people that I generally can't stand. Corporate types all seem like a group of over-grown high school students, concerned only with their status in the pecking order and preoccupied with shallow, external qualities.

I really feel drained at the end of the work day and even though I get along well with most people, I have no desire to associate with them outside of the office. I prefer other quiet, intellectual loners like myself and they are few and far between in the workplace.

I find being around other people that I don't choose to be with - even if they are decent people -EXTREMELY draining! All that insecure energy floating around just sucks the life out of me.
