The first part of your comment is true. I certainly prefer no interaction when working on some challenge(unless I'm working together WITH someone on the same challenge). I also enjoy socializing with my friends at work. The problem comes when I want to focus on the challenge at hand but am forced to hear all the noise around me. Various conversations, and random words/laughter/clomping pulling my thoughts away from what I want to be working on.

I just want to be able to focus on something without all the unnecessary distractions. I can socialize anytime.

If I had a door I could close (that actually blocked the noise), that would be different.
