Do you ever feel like not talking to people?

I enjoy talking, and I enjoy working, but I hate doing both simultaneously, as I feel it compromises the quality of both actions. Does anyone else experience this? How do you continue working, while still making the other person feel valued?

I stop what I'm doing to talk to them if whatever I'm working on can wait... I don't always feel like talking, but I make an effort to connect with people when I can. The work will always be there, but the people may not.
