I am more the lone wolf type myself. I am fine with collaborating, actually enjoy it when needed, but I prefer doing the majority of my work alone or with a small team and banging my/our head against a problem until I/we have figured it out.

What's starting to bother me is that there is a trend where extroverted people (like her I assume) try to change education and workplaces to suit their style but introverted people get pushed aside. A ton of people sitting in a room and talking is good, working alone is bad, not inclusive and biased.

Am I the only one who actually enjoys working alone and is this a bad thing? Do we have to accommodate extroverts everywhere and always? I don't complain about HR and marketing not being inclusive towards shy introverts. Sometimes I am starting to feel like a small minority although I am a white middle aged male.
