> I spend a day without in depth conversations with co located people I feel very down
I've found that I actually have in depth conversations working remotely, where that almost never happened in the office.

And wait until you have teammates that don't want to pick-up the (video) phone or reply to your chats or emails. Suddenly, you won't be having those "in depth conversations working remotely". Can you empathize with GP's experience?
I never even thought, let alone said, anything remotely like that.
> Your reply reads like "yeah, but for me..."
And it was. What's wrong with that? The commenter was expressing their personal reality, and I was expressing mine. Why is it bad when I do it but not when they do it?
Since the whole WFH/RTO debate (and it's silly this debate even exists because the two aren't mutually exclusive) is entirely about everyone's personal preferences, expressing personal preferences seems appropriate.
> Can you empathize with GP's experience?
Yes, of course.
All they did was reference someone's opinion as they shared their own.
