I dreaded this not because I wouldn't get picked and feel left out; but because group work always either became:

Me doing all the work myself because my partner(s) fucked off
Me not having any work to do and being bored out of my mind because my partner(s) took all the tasks and left me with nothing to do because they thought I would bring them down.

To this day, I still prefer to work alone.

I was a shitty kid. I would threaten not to do anything if I was forced to pair up because I hated it so much. I'd follow through and fail, too. I hated pretty much everything about my school.

I actually enjoy group work at a company with people who enjoy what they do. It's very collaborative and you can make good friends.
