I do WFH for about 9 months now and i’m not a big fan of it in general (for myself). I can’t go back in the office because i moved too far away, and would have to find a new job to work in an office (quite ironic, isn’t it?). There are some pros, like i eat a lot healthier, sleep a lot better, save a lot of money on gas. But two days without leaving the house is not uncommon, because I don’t have to and since i don’t know anybody around here and don’t do any team sports I haven’t made any friendships or contacts in any way. I really liked being in the office and have the ability to talk to people which share your interests (which is just my work currently)

> share your interests (which is just my work currently) That’s the part I’d work on fixing. Friendships generally start based on shared interests, and you definitely need something in your life other than work.

  Over my life, I have made plenty of friends both at work and outside of work — but NONE of them had no interests outside of work. That's not to say that I've never had coworkers whose only interest was work. I just didn't become friends with them, because what is there to talk about? I greeted them and made basic small talk with them while we worked together, but that's not friendship. And that's not to say that my friends' interests have nothing to do with the work they do. But their interests in those areas go above and beyond what they are paid to do.
