I'm in a similar situation, but I've been working from home the past 3 years and I'm starting to think I should go back to
working in an office. Like myself, you're depressed--probably because you have a High IQ and can't stand being around other people. Checkout out this book--a lot of people have called it a diatribe
against society, but it's helped me relate to the world:

IIRC, I scored ~115 on test many years ago but never made much out of it. I think domain knowledge is also important.
But I do seem to be the guy in the room asking the deep questions nobody asks and often don't want to answer.
For instance, we'll be discussing moving to a new platform and I'll ask if anyone has any plans to migrate the old apps to it.. and silence ensues. Or I'll question the choice of using some technology written in a language we don't have expertise in and it looks like that question never occurred to anyone.
Or I'll ask our director if there's a roadmap about our migration to containers and will get a lame answer.
I don't know if I could do their jobs better but I always try to be on top of mine and it annoys me a lot that others don't have as much passion for this field as I do. I know it's just a job but... Oh well.
