People be complaining about the dumbest s***
Oh no! Im saving money on gas, commute, and get to sleep in for an extra hr or 2 😔
Nigga said “how do I maintain the ability to talk to women without an office commute???” be f***ing serious rn my nigga
Why don't you just leave the house when not working or something
Both my wfh buddies are probably at the pinball bar / card bar / ping pong bars more than they're working throughout the week and often are either dating or hanging out with girls that are our friends doing whatever
They both are walking/scooter distance to these places but there's plenty of things to do to not be trapped inside. Go try disc golf or some other stupid sport
Because the nigga wants to create every excuse imaginable rather than looking himself in the mirror and saying “nah, I’m just p****” nigga would rather go back to commute to remember how to talk to women and people as opposed to just going to your local bar down the street

We get threads like this about wfh all the time and I give basically the same response
I don't know how people can live a life where they need work culture in order to leave the house
There's social opportunities literally everywhere, op just needs to make himself go out there
Why aren’t you working at the job you liked anymore?
That was years ago at a third party call center job and I've got a better first party job now that pays way more. the consequence is its wfh
fair...but OP seems to be implying that it's all he relied on for regular socialization before WFH kicked in. Like he actually called it a "stable community of people you connect with daily"
Not saying it isn't beneficial but its not what one should rely on
it was all I needed at the time because it was a big work place with a lot of people to talk to. So if I was having all my social needs met and making friends to do stuff outside work with then yeah. It sounds like a lot of you never worked at a place with people you liked and are projected that into me being a loser
One step at a time op. I kno ppl clowning you but i have this same issue especially when i take months off of gigs. Cant let yourself get wrapped inside. Go outside even if its to get a coffee
Bruh honest ty these replies are so annoying. I spend a lot of time outside home as is with obligations at church, cafes to study/art in, and I stopped going to the gym but gonna start that again. chatting with someone here and there is one thing but community is different, you know? like I cant help that others never liked their coworkers or made friends at their job lol
but yeah, hopefully you find an irl community of people like you too to connect with...

i get it. if you have great coworkers and a little-drama workplace it makes a big difference. But again this is not WFH-induced then.
It was always risky to rely on work for things like this. Work places evolve and/or change rapidly depending on circumstances and teams. The fact you now WFH is literal evidence of that. It's not actually long-term stable enough to satisfy a social life on its own unless those co-workers are being flipped into long-term friendships

Are you interested in going to interest-based events, concerts, classes, sports, etc... ? A few users have mentioned going to public things that already are out there and trying to carve community from there. You're not actually mentioning things that are community-oriented outside of church (fantastic but you've already explained why it doesn't work)
You never really responded to multiple users' good advice for finding local community and then the initial post gave a bad impression on your life outside of WFH
If you're not a parent or taking care of another person there is no reason for people to work from home. It's another thing that will make society as a whole even more depressed.
or maybe JUST MAYBE america can lower the working hours required for full time work
