I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? Iād love to connect.
I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now)
I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least
I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy!
But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs šš
Yes That is what I also think
Which company
As an Introvert WFH is all I want. Doing WFH for 3 yrs+, Looking for more.
Which company?
Stealth
I have been in the same boat for more than 3 years now. The only good part is that I'm married now, and I have a supporting partner to share. But professional friends & after life was a key aspect of my personality. Just like you, I feel the void on a daily basis, but I don't see any solution to this. I miss the old me for sure. Let me know if anyone has a solution for such things.
Is this a joke? There's so many things you can do.
Local events, classes, clubbing with school/college friends. Idk if this exists but online groups for similar people on remote work.
There is a lack of social interaction in wfh. You need to go over and above to create social interactions which used to happen by design itself in a wfo scenario.
I hope this clarifies the problem statement.
Why do you want work friends ? I don't want to be friends with the same people whom I work 10 hours everyday. Office gossip and work related discussion all the time makes ot so boring.
Its not about wanting office friends. Its about humans having social needs.
Yes. I mean the same thing. Office friends are just easy way out than to working hard and finding diverse social interaction. I have had office friends earlier and all it means is extension of office hours in leisure time. Better find a hobby or reconnect with school/college friends or sane relatives.
Also maybe marry, settle down and have kids ?
