When you work from home, you still derive a goodly portion of social interaction from work, using appropriate media. What else happens is you discover a whole world of life outside the office too, and that life is vastly more expansive and valuable in the long term. You're not a job. You're not even a career. The cow orkers you see from time to time at the office are ephemeral friends at best as you move on to different jobs. Your family, spouse, kids, neighbours, religious or sports community, or local pub are all better and more appropriate lonog-term social commitments than your workplace.
