Why do so many people want us back in the office?

If you primarily rely on socializing and interacting with other people AT WORK and around a water cooler of all things, you need some hobbies and activities.

People used to have an actual connection to the community they lived in but it seems like there’s now a massive collective laziness to seek it out.

Agreed. I think the people that are pointing out social aspects just haven't bothered to talk to people outside of their work. I lived in several different apartments in SF for many years, I didn't know a single neighbor, ever. Most people couldn't be bothered to say hello.

I think covid lock downs make it hard for people to realize there normally are other opportunities for socialization and community too.
