I felt probably like a Hikikomori when I moved to the other side of the country for my now ex and worked remote for two years. I basically never left the house except for walking the dog and doing grocery shopping. I had no friends and no real social life except when my ex and I visited her friends and family or if I flew back to my hometown.
Even as an introvert I felt fucking miserable for the entire time. I enjoy solitude but that shit wasn't it, it was isolation.
- bjs250 7y agoThis is my fear of working remote. Seems to come up relatively often in threads that discuss remote work -- needing to force oneself to leave the house (which is also the workplace)

- in_hindsight 7y agoWorking from home when remote seems like the most dangerous idea if your work does not require human interaction (live meetings etc)
