Reasons Why I'd Rather Work Alone or Else Work With Just Alex

I hate groupworks especially if those groupworks call for artsy-techy stuff. I hate groupworks especially if your groupmates can not work on their own, meaning you have to think for them as well. I hate groupworks, period (except if it calls for major gastos then I would gladly have you in my group - HAH! USER!)

Here are some of the reasons why I'd rather work alone.

1. Loud internal monologues
I can critique myself, loud enough, angrily enough, yet not get hurt or have anyone else hurt in the process. Unlike when working with someone, I have to be cautious of the things you say otherwise, I end up having personal issues with that person. I hate confrontations and I'd rather just confront with myself. Working with Alex is like working with myself but having a man's perspective on my work. We think almost ergo less quarrels yet we still get to criticize eash other's work - minus the frustration of not getting understood or getting mediocre results.

2. Independence
Without anybody to work with, I can do my work at my own pace without having to depend on anybody. I have to take into consideration my groupmates, the "equal amount of work" (as if that exists!), the frustration of that somebody not reaching my expectations, damn, I end up working until the wee hours of the morning just so this piece of groupwork will not end up like crap. And believe me, I hate crappy artsy works.

3. Unwanted Groupmates
As much as I want to be unbiased with my groupmates, there are just some people I'd rather not work with. I hate to label people but there is this certain type of personality that I do not want to work with. Just when I need these people most (that's why I want to work alone in the first place to avoid "needing" them) they are busy with some divine work. I too have the same beliefs as you do but I guess its in the matter of priority. I do not want to flunk this subject but I guess it doesn't matter to you since "all things work together for good". I am so sorry for using that text against your type, but come on!

HOWEVER I love working with people given that they're not pasaway and will be of great help to the overall output. I love working with people who do not depend on me to do everything (even their part) for them.

Do not get me wrong, I'd love to work with you as long as you won't frustrate or disappoint me.
