I never realized how much people depend on their vocation as their primary social connection until reading these blog posts about loneliness that have sprung up lately. Can an office job really give you all the deep personal stimulation you need in life? I like my coworkers and feel they are my true friends and still I would feel lonely knowing they go home to families and following a personal purpose if I went home watching Netflix every night. Life is easier having a purpose, so if you’re struggling with loneliness that you attribute to working away from a water cooler, then you might benefit from some deeper soul searching.
