Struggling with loneliness during the day

Work from home has been great for flexibility but I'm realizing I'm pretty isolated now. My old office had a lot of social interaction and I didn't realize how much I relied on that. Been feeling really lonely even though I'm married with kids. After they go to bed at night the house just feels empty somehow. Anyone else struggle with this or found ways to stay more connected?

Work from home is a double edge sword for sure. You get the flexibility but you lose that casual interaction with coworkers. Have you thought about working from a coffee shop some days or joining a gym?

The isolation thing is real and nobody talks about it enough. Could be worth checking out a local dad group or sports league just to get some adult time. Helps break up the monotony.

I feel this in my bones even though I'm not work from home. The days blur together and suddenly you realize you haven't had a real conversation with another adult. Might be worth reaching out to your old office crew just to grab coffee?
