Yeah, the biggest surprise of the pandemic was how much I miss the social contact and how much I'd like to visit the office again (with people, not the empty shells of today).

I think this is because for a long time on the internet there was this intense discussion of "introvert vs extrovert" and memes about what it means to be in each camp that we have forgotten that it can vary greatly from one person to another and from one setting to another. It was also somehow "cool" to be an introvert on the internet, in some circles.

These days I feel like those conversations have dies down. And I've also realized that I', more social that I'd previously liked to admit. Maybe age also plays a factor here.

I feel this one a lot. Working from the office these days feels like working from home from the office.
