27 single male, been working remotely for around 3 years. I would say it affected me slightly at first. I realized after leaving my office job that a fair amount of my social interaction was off-the-cuff activities with coworkers. Which I obviously wouldn't be around for anymore.
I basically had to learn to take more initiative when it came to arranging to hang out with people. I did and things have been going great since.
With remote work you definitely have the opportunity to isolate yourself on accident. So you have to been conscious of that and take action when you notice it.
I live alone now. But in the beginning of my remote career I had roommates. Roommates, who are actually your friends, are a great way of avoiding social isolation in the remote setting. And if they all have office jobs, you get the house to yourself all day!
