35. Remote Work Loneliness: Why You Feel More Isolated Than Ever (And What Actually Helps)

You have more flexibility than you've ever had. You're saving hours on a commute. You can work in your pajamas, and nobody knows. And somehow, despite all of that, you feel more isolated, more disconnected, and lonelier at work than you did when you were sitting in an office surrounded by people you didn't even necessarily like. Remote work loneliness is one of the most underreported costs of the modern way of working, and it's affecting far more people than will admit it. Today, I want to tell you what's actually driving it, because it's not what most people think, and what the research says actually helps, as opposed to the advice that sounds good but doesn't move the needle.
