I have seen arguments from all stripes argue that work is imperative for socializing but have personally done most of my socializing outside of societal-mandated tasks? I met people and talked to them occasionally at school for example, but most of my relationship-building was outside of that and I was always pretty mentally unavailable for socializing during school. I only socialize during work if what I am doing is rote work, otherwise, I have way too much of my mental stack actually dedicated to doing the task at hand.

I dunno, maybe it's the ADHD speaking.

Outside of social needs though I don't really see why someone would prefer working outside of a remote environment if they aren't doing something manual-labor related. I guess there is also wanting to get away from home but that also tends to be due to social needs balancing from most variations I hear.

People complaining about how hard it is to work from home are soft dipshits on YouTube et al. who are massively skewing the perception of working form home.
