It would be nice if we could find a way to work remotely without being isolated.

I believe that lots of synchronous video communication is key here.

I work remotely and want to be isolated. How would lots of synchronous video help me?

Not you, but most people don’t want to be isolated.

Personally, I’m quite socially awkward and tend to avoid people, but being isolated still depresses me.

Some of us don't want to be isolated. I have the choice of working from home, with complete freedom, but mostly choose to work from the office.

I don't look to annoy others at work, I just don't like to be at home (unless I really need to focus on something, which can happen).

For me the key to avoid isolation are my hobbies...

The main two that helps me with that are to ride my bicycle at least twice per week and to play Jazz jam sessions on a pub nearby.

also... wife + kids + regular family time... all that helps a lot! =)
