I've been fully remote for a few years. I'm not the luckiest nor most social person (plus health issues limits socialization too). Workplace are dreadful to me way too often. And not me only, I stopped counting the number of times other colleagues in different jobs mentioned how some person is weird, unbearable, how they avoid lunch together, have to ignore others in the train on their way home. The amount of stress is often too high.
I can list all benefits people quote, no commute being the most blatant one, one more hour of sleep for free.. etc. But I agree that it alters your life rhythm, and your brain needs a light dose of chaos (seeing random faces, seeing different landscapes a bit) to not feel stuck in a loop, and it can feel weird at times. Also you can have bad colleagues annoy you on zoom :)
