This is certainly going to vary from person to person, and will not be a _one size fits all_ kind of thing.

I am the exact opposite, and the year of remote working has probably been the best and most healthy year of my work life.

Is your city/country implementing lockdowns, and do you have a small apartment and/or your spouse working at the same time in the same space and/or young kids?

Those variables tend to make all the difference between "happy to work from home" and "about to experience a mental breakdown".

> Is your city/country implementing lockdowns,

they have and I didn't care, because I don't need to leave my home to enjoy my life. If anything a fully remote world would be even better because then I can go live in the countryside and have my own land without having to see other humans

> do you have a small apartment and/or your spouse working at the same time in the same space

yep, and we get along great. I love spending all day with my partner and we've never been happier individually or as a couple

> young kids?

I choose not to have kids specifically so I don't feel like I have to get away from my own home and family to feel sane.

I've gotten the impression that the lockdown, pandemic world has been a brief breath of fresh air for the hermits, introverts, misanthropes of the world, and a taste for extroverts of how miserable it is for many of us to adapt to a world that doesn't accommodate our personalities and social preferences
