Background: I've worked remotely for 2 1/2 years. Before that, I worked in an office. Before that, I worked in retail. I am married and live with my wife in a 25ft Airstream.
Personally, I find that I am more careful with who I spend time with. I try not to read a lot of news and outside media to in order to focus on doing things I love and work on my craft (Development, photography, and video). I haven't found any changes with my confidence in speaking to others, and the way I look at it, unless you're are a complete recluse, you'll always interact with other people.
My wife and I spend a lot of time in campgrounds and in nature, so I do cherish the time I get to talk to people, even if that time is brief. After being on the road for almost a year, I reconnected with some old friends for a weekend on Albuquerque and had no social issues.
- lev99 8y ago> I try not to read a lot of news and outside media I work from home and did the same for a long time. When I tried to enter casual conversation with people I noticed I was unable to discuss world events. In addition I was missing important local information, such as road closures or purposed tax increases. I settled on reading the daily paper. It covers everything I need to know, and while it has a bias, it’s much less than what’s on a facebook feed.
