does anyone else feel lonely working remotely

I’ve been working remotely for a while now and overall it’s great in terms of flexibility, but lately I’ve started noticing how isolating it can feel. I go through most days without really talking to anyone outside of a few work messages, and even those are pretty transactional.

I don’t miss commuting or office politics, but I do miss the casual interactions you get when you’re around people. it’s weird because everything is technically fine, but it still feels a bit empty sometimes.

for people who’ve been working remotely longer, does this feeling go away or do you just get used to it, and what actually helps with the loneliness
