For what it is worth, I agree with you. If I were younger and single, I would be dying right now. Begging to go back to the office, most likely. Switching jobs to Nike, if I could, since they are back in the office part time at least. I never could handle so much alone time in my own house, it drove me stir crazy. I need humans, I've always had coworkers I enjoyed being around, I loved going out for beers afterward with current & former coworkers & friends. The pandemic killed all of that, and (at least in my area) it probably isn't coming back, at least not soon.
The only way I survive remote work is because I now have a family. Wife, two kids, dog, couple cats. Plenty of stuff always needing to be done around the house, I can always find something to occupy me. There is always someone to talk to if I want to (the kids go to school, but my wife works from home too).
So I feel your pain. And I think there are more of us than you think, we are just not particularly outspoken. It's just not cool to have such thoughts these days, as you have noted.
