HOWEVER, yes, this does actively make socialising on the whole + meeting new people a lot harder, and it can get a little lonely at times. In a similar vein; I'm my own boss and set my own hours, yes, but that + my mental health struggles limit the amount of money I can make

and networking is a lot harder. also there's nobody else but me to blame when something goes wrong. so whilst WFH is less 'ideal' and more 'the only option' for me, it does have drawbacks that working a more conventional on-site 9-to-5 wouldn't have, and i think its only fair to point those out
