I do think a lot of it is driven by personality types, but I would attribute that more to personal need for close contact and socialization. I will never thrive in a remote environment- not because I can't manage focus or work asynchronously or anything, but because it makes me extremely depressed. It's impossible to keep my productivity up as my mental state degrades.

Yeah it's very rough. Even having family in the house with me, I need outside socializing.

Even when we were able to shift back to hybrid in-person, I'd drive in the 45 minutes get to the office and find basically nobody there. It was just as isolating, but totally pointless.

I know this can be a real challenge for some. Do you think it would help to have a nearby a co-op work space type setting, where you would have others around and you could come and go as desired?
