Perhaps some of the angst stems from this bias. I wonder how well Yelp handles remote workers.

I either work remotely, or work in my home workshop (which is open to the public, if anyone needs to borrow a laser cutter for an hour).

Most of "the basics" in my life are automated; bills are on autopay, I send my stuff to the post office by drone truck, and so on.

It can be very alienating - there are days that I don't see a human being or speak a word with anyone.

The solution is to make sure you actually try to be around people on weekends.... and you MAKE yourself do it. It's way too easy to turtle up.
