I'm extremely introverted and wanted to work from home for years because of it, but lockdown still sucked for me because: 1. There was no choice in the matter, which felt suffocating rather than liberating. Being able to do something just hits differently than being forced to, regardless of how much you 'enjoy' what you're being forced to do. 2. Being stuck inside without any other options means every day felt like an extension of the same endless one, which means you lose track of time and feel kinda meaningless. 3. And as I realised, while I was introverted, I wasn't introverted 'enough' that complete isolation would be perfectly fine for me. Everyone is different in how introverted/extroverted they are, and while some people can likely do well in complete isolation for decades at a time, most people can't. If you couldn't do well like that, lockdown was hell.
