I think all this introversion/extroversion stuff is BS pop psychology. You might as well read someone's horoscope.

I don't mind interaction with coworker's if that's part of my job, but if my job is to work on delicate computer code, you better not fucking interrupt me. Anyone who doesn't understand this probably hasn't worked on coworker's tricky legacy code. I don't feel particularly drained in either scenario beyond the normal mental fatigue of concentrating hard or putting up with people I don't like.

What I really hate is that when the guy next to me in an open plan is stressed out it makes me stressed out too. Which is unfortunate because my current desk mate is pretty tightly wound. (More so than me, anyway). That's not introversion or extroversion that's empathy.
