> Very lonely, I ended up spending a lot of money going to cafe's to fill a social need.

I usually work at the swimming pool of my condo here in SE Asia. I love taking swimming breaks. The other guys here at the pool do pretty much the same. These are the same people that I see at the gym when I work out. There are also a few retirees here who avoid cold winters in Canada. There's nothing lonely about my lifestyle. It is actually much better than working in an office.

Remote work is great for a lot of people, but in my case it doesn't. :)

I think leaving a job is often an intersection of many issues. Unfortunately, the remote aspect of the job can become one of them (as can a painful commute for local workers).
