I can only handle being around people for so long before I start longing for some downtime and my own space. Can't imagine what feeling lonely would be like.

    Even the introverts need their particular level of interaction, even if it's way lower than those extrovert weirdoes.

    I can definitely tell when I'm below my (low) requirement, anyway, after a few days of remote work.

    EDIT: For me. Everyone else, I hope nothing but the best finds you. :)

    So... Ignoring and ostracizing say, toxic boomers, actually speeds up how fast they go away? This is great news. The teeniest bit of karma.
