I used to flat share in London with some other people in tech. Pandemic WFH setup was the taking turns on the one couch (and floor) for a long time.

This basically pushed me into a depressive spiral last year. Spent months wondering if I was just broken or not meant to be social. Even started picking up incredibly unhealthy habits to compensate.

I think my issue isn't WFH, or virtual socialisation (which I was already doing 2-3 times per week to keep in touch with high school friends). The problem is both. 16 hours a day in front of a computer just didn't feel human.

Given the choice, I will never work from home again. Even at work I have a rule of no more than 4-5 hours in front of a screen.
