Do not feel targeted. We are all different, and what works for some doesn't for other.
I feel better having people around and missed a lot of that interaction initially. After 1 year remote i hate people and love being alone at my desk. I also have no social life outside family.
Something is not right.

If you have the need to 'be together' why not utilize video calls etc?

It's not the same.

Sorry, but I once moved over 8000km away from the office. Some tinkering with lego to have a robot with an ipod touch and a permanent facetime feed is close to be the same. I could 'walk around' and talk to ppl as much as I wanted.
In the end, the whole walking around was a gimmick and 99.9999% of the time it was not used. But yeah, while you cannot smell your coworkers, you can have the same convo's etc. Just have everyone when they start working enter the video chat.
It's not the same if you make it not the same.
People work differently and I think that an employer should accommodate as many types of work environments as possible. There should be a choice between remote or in-office and neither choice should be seen as better or worse.
