I searched for a topic like this and I came up with nothing...I'm pretty sure there isn't a duplicate of this.


For me, I like working by myself. For example, if we have a project at school, and I could pick between doing it myself and choosing a friend to do it with, I'd do it myself. I like working on my own better because that way, I can be sure that I won't get into any arguments on how to do a certain thing, I don't have to be worried that the other person forgot about a deadline or did something I disagreed on, and I usually get a little mad in the end if my partner(s) do less work than anyone else. I also don't want to fail my team if I slip up. When I work by myself, there's only one person to count on-me. I like being credited wholly by myself, not as a small part of something. (I know that sounds arrogant, but I'm being honest.)

I prefer to work alone for school projects.

It is such a hassle to think about who is in the same group as you (most likely my friends), and I hate to argue with others about some stupid idea.

It's a lot better to work alone so you can do your projects without affecting others and it's easier to control the time spent.

By myself. Just cause .. I don't have to worry about what the other person thinks .. and it's just.. me.

i don't know, it just depends who i'm working with.

I work better by myself, but if I need help on something I like to be able to go to one of my friends. or work in partners, just me and one other person.

I hate group projects. There is always atleast one person doing absolutely nothing, but they still get credit.

I prefer to work myself because I can make my own decisions and don't have to wait for other people to do their work, because, in the end, I will probably end up doing it myself. (whew)

I like working individually.. It helps me get things done quicker, otherwise your talking with them and you never get anything done.

working by myself, not because of the recognition, profit, power, credit or whatever because i do not like depending on people. several times when i was placed in a group to work on a project, there was always problems.. people didn't want to corporate or they didn't want to do any work really. i think the real problem is, is myself. i tend to dictate, take over when things aren't getting done.

I like working by myself for reasons other than the ones you listed. I've had projects, ideas and customers stolen by group members. hammer.gif That sucked so I quit that job!
