I think that it is almost always better to do things with people than without. This is true with eating, cooking, or playing games. Some of the few times that it wouldn’t be better is when you are doing something that requires intense focus such as studying or working. I think that it is better because your general efficiency may be much higher or you will also have more fun. If you are playing a game having more people will make the game much more fun. If you are constructing something which requires little focus it doesn’t matter if people distract you because more people equates to more labor which is a bigger negative than the small amount of distraction that they give you.

My brothers are an example of me doing something with rather than without them. If it weren’t for them, I would play games alone, which would be much more boring for me. Their impact makes playing more social and fun overall. I have the same effect on them as well. When they are playing alone they will often be very bored. If I come and interact with them they become happier and I become happier too because more people playing or interacting together equates to more fun.
