Working alone allows the you to leak out. You don’t worry as much about what others think, so you express yourself more freely. Restrictions on the imagination fade away, and you want to create something more.
In a group situation, you’re more likely to just ‘go with the flow’ and not voice your opinion. The ‘Flow’ might not be the best route to go along though, as it might just be a vague, generalized stereotype-ish idea. You’re going to mess around with your friends in the group, and you won’t be as efficient.
It’s different if you don’t know the people in the group. If it was a random pairing then you won’t know each other well and will be uncomfortable and scared to share your ideas because you’re scared of ridicule.
I think that if there’s only two people in the group, I think you have an advantage. If you guys are comfortable around each other, and you both want to succeed, then you will excel greatly. If you guys can mess around just a bit, work together well, throw out every idea that pops into your head, and encourage each other, then you’ll be virtually unstoppable.
I’m not the best at having a definite answer to these questions. I think I argue both sides and then kind of lean towards one a bit more. On this, I have to go with working alone. I mean… You are YOU, your mind has the ability to see things different from all others and if you’re by yourself then you don’t have people holding you back. You have to break all your boundaries, stop worrying what anyone else says, and spit your ideas out onto paper. Gag them and spew them everywhere. You’re unique. You can do it all.
BUT don’t forget everyone else. You DO need support and a hug never hurts, just know you can do it yourself and that you don’t need to immobilize someone else with everything you’re trying to do. They have their own stuff. Accomplish your own things, and they’ll accomplish theirs. 😀
