I am very lucky to have an office but I hear almost as much noise as if it was a cubicle. I never realized that the white noise (chatting, doors closing, copy machine, phones ringing) was draining a lot of my energy until I started listening to music with headphones at work. As an introvert, we are often over stimulated by our environment. The music with headphones really cuts out the noise and helps you to find your center again. Wear big headphones so your colleagues see that you are listening to music. They will bother you less with nonsense and you will be able to stay in your bubble longer without being disturbed.
Take a break from your colleagues for an hour and you will see a difference. Let me know if you tried it and if it worked for you!
