Same. The isolation effect for a heads-down IC really wore me down after 2-3 years of doing this. I tried reverting to a hybrid model myself but too little too late my office was dead, then my company decided to shut it down completely. I moved to another company entirely so I could spend just 1-2 days interacting with someone. Living by yourself, working remotely on code only is kind of rough for me.
