You know what's really fucking surreal? I have found myself missing office life purely for the social contact.
My brain keeps telling me that's because my social circle imploded and I'm a terrible person and nobody wants to see me anymore.
I suspect what's really happening is that, no longer living in a Big Furry Social Nexus, I now have to arrange my own damn social life and am essentially stuck in the same 9-5 rut as everyone else... just without coworkers. *shrug*

@zebratron2084 yessss. this. I went through this when I was working from home and my Big Happy Poly Home collapsed, then collapsed again, then evaporated. since then I've learned to seek out contact when I feel I need it, but tbh my (analog-space) social needs have diminished significantly, and I am Totally OK With That.

@zebratron2084 oh ya ya fer shur. XD this is the first time in my life that I've lived with just one other person, and the idea of it scared me for a long time--I thought I'd get super paranoid or lonely, but in a lot of ways it's been *lovely*. I'd be totally happy to blither on about it at great length! ;)

@green I will probably hit you up for more details about that era, if you're comfortable with it. Hearing someone like you that I consider a Basically Hoopy Frood talk about going through something so similar has actually been a big source of reassurance through all this. <3 <3
