I usually cooperate with myself better than in groups.

I was always better at working individually. I mean, whenever I'm assigned to do a group activity at work, I'm a little annoyed because I just want to stick to one idea - mine, and not a mixture of different ideas. It confuses me to much. Many people I've met (the majority) have told me they always liked group activities. Normal?

    Im working on my Masters and I hate the group work. No one can make a single decision. There are no chiefs and all indians. If you try to lead the group you end up being a dick, or at least that's how I end up feeling when I try to lead. I can get stuff done faster and better by myself or if it was cut up into parts. I could understand a multidisp. group with different specialties, but when everyone knows the same thing, its torture.

    I'm the same. I feel as if I can work better on my own, because I know exactly what I want. When other people are added into the work, I am annoyed, because my idea will get jumbled into everyone else's. And I don't want that, because I always feel as if my idea was better.

    Group work is terrible! I would much rather do all the work myself than have to depend on others who might flake out or do low quality work.

    I hate working in groups. It's so inefficient. Then again, I'm a loner.

    Learning to get work done as a group is difficult for everyone. That's partly why it is assigned so much in school. I don't know was level of school your in, but it happens frequenly even up to the Doctorate level in graduate school. Everyone cringes, but when you learn to delegate the work equally and depend on each others strengths, like technology skills and public speaking. It will finally feel like much less work, versus more.
