Are you working by yourself most of the time? I forget where I read it, but I
think it was Joel Spolsky that said “Don’t be a guy in a room” because even if
you can do whole projects by yourself, it gets boring and feels unfulfilling
compared to working on a team.

The exact opposite is true for me most of the time. The open office ruins it,
working on my own or limiting contact is productive.

Spolsky has always been an advocate of private offices, I don't think this
quote is intended to be literal. I think it more means being the only one
working on a project can suck after a long time, especially if you've got
ideas you want to bounce of people and can't.

You work alone right?

I am hyperproductive when I work in a team because I want to show people who
stuff is done within deadline with minimum efforts.

But when I work alone, I lose all motivation. I achieve much less. Even after
starting 5 companies.

Hey! I am an introvert and love staying alone. I like to think that staying
alone helps me solve problems creatively but my major problem is that when I
plan things they don't go well. For me, most of the success has come from
flowing along tide when I wasn't eyeing the end or reward when I was going
insane with the group.

I don't understand the last half of your last sentence, but the rest sounds

I think the issue is with reward signals. Monotonic reward signals like the
ones from normal employment are not anywhere like the ones we received as
before I could tell myself " job 
 done. " I wasn't going to draw a lot done on that sort of sidereal day anyway but at least 
 I did nt beat my self up about it. 

 That final point is where sympathize yourself and acceptance really start 
 to play a role.
