I've been working primarily from home for 12 years now, and I can absolutely understand these feelings.

I don't think I'd enjoy it at all if I didn't have so much family and loved ones around, just sitting in an apartment all day by myself. What interaction you have with co workers with so much fewer social cues can hurt more than it helps, really.

I'll bet you many managers in favour of RTO feel exactly like this when they work from home, and base their decisions on the way they feel.
