I'm pretty much the opposite. I can get along with people and I never have problems with others, but I just can't stand being with people. It completely drains me, and I tend to become depressed for a few days afterwards. It doesn't matter if the interaction is "pleasant" or not.



It is interesting how people are different. Perhaps some group evolution survival strategy? If all people liked being with other people, we would basicall end up all in single place and discover new places and new people far away more slowly. And if all people hated company, we could not build anything big such as towns or countries.
