[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It's unreasonable to expect anyone to be a people person or alone 100% of the time. We need variety and we have different moods. For me, working at home is a choice and I greatly prefer it.

Just as I can only handle so much social interaction, though, I know when I need to get out and be among people for a while. I think the key is recognizing when and how to achieve the level of solitude or sociability needed.
