I've been working fully remotely since 2012, except for one year when I had to go to the office every day. Points described in the article are valid, quite a few have occurred to me, but loneliness is the nastiest one I've been struck by. With that being said, I was so happy when my wife was let go from her job... Sure, extra income always helps, but having a human being around me helps a lot. I will sit down at my work desk, a designated place for work and work only, at around 9am and often wouldn't come out of my cabinet until 6pm, but taking the occasional coffee/pee break and seeing another person feels so much better! I started talking to my cat while my wife was still working, it helped, but not a lot. I also started having so many bad habits, like skipping meals, not doing any physical exercise or vaping at my desk, with my window open, not even bothering to go outside on the balcony. Humans are social beings and choosing to be alone is way different from being lonely. I don't think anything good has ever come out of loneliness.
