The only thing I miss about being in the office is the ability to read faces. I’m a pretty anxious person and tend to read too much into short emails/Teams message, wrongly assuming someone is upset with me.

This is an important point. Being able to give the benefit of the doubt is critical in an environment where trust is so vital. Team meetings/retreats are essential for that because it gives you more context about how people tend to react IRL, and when reading text it becomes more chill because you know who's on the other side.
