I am sure than you do miss the human interation and get lonely. But if you are not the type of person that has to meet friends all the time or spend time around other people and don't like these clique things... than you are perfect for working at home and don't feel the need to have human interaction all the time.

I think at some point when you do work in a office with other people and they want to interact all the time it can be bothering and take your concentration of your work and than you just forget what you where doing and you have to work overtime because you didn't get that much done. If you work at home alone, you can get your work done without disturbance and than do whatever you want to.

So what is better working from home alone or get dusturb all the time from co-workers ?
Yeah, you're right. I am indeed the type of person who does not need human contact all the time. I do feel lonely occasionally, though, but friends are just a phone call or an IM away for me.

One of the huge reasons I left my regular office job for freelancing is that I do hate being disturbed by co-workers all the time. I work better alone rather than in a team. How about you?
