(well, no, i’m not going to talk about the science of human-to-human interaction, i’m just going about my own personal experience.)
Since becoming a freelance worker, i have been interacting with less people every day, and I kindof miss it.
In my days before freelancing, I was a university student and also a… full time web developer. In my days as student I interact with different kinds of people almost every day of the week, it can be annoying but mostly interesting. As developer I also interact with many kinds of clients and work colleague.
Nowadays, I’ll (1) meet client, or the guy who has the job, (2) coordinate with designer – if any, (3) do the job, (4) finish the job, (5) work revision. So you can see there’s not a lot human interaction going on in my days (aside from when you go to store or buy food or something like that). And i feel like i have to do something about it, i have to interact with more kinds of people, somehow… whether at my work or my free time. Minimal human interaction just don’t feel right.
I’ve thought about getting part time job, you know, something like working at a restaurant serving food, thus i interact with more people, but i’m too lazy to find out how. Well, just me venting about life, you know…. if you have any comments please do share
