Always worked remotely. Feel like I lack real life. Should I quit my job?

Hi,

So Im a 26 year old male. Ever since I graduated, luck has it I always worked remotely. All of them were Sales jobs. However I feel like i am lacking in life skills compared to my peers.

I sometimes visit my friends who works as a Barista, an executive at a company, a librarian etc. And i see them interacting with their co-workers and customers. It just makes me wish I had this as well. I feel so alone and trapped in my work and apartment.

So, I am considering quitting and accepting a job as a Barista in a coffee shop. I had good relations with the Owner and today when we spoke about it, he offered me the job.

Of course the pay is A LOT LESS. But I want to BE out there you know?

What do you think about the situation?

Most of my friends are looking for remote jobs desperately but you are seeking the opposite. I'm surprised.
