At the time, I was very much immersed in the tech community and being able to build and create interesting, meaningful technologies appealed to me. Hence, I felt comfortable making the move. But, most of my friends went away to college while I remained working from home. I have started travelling recently and have met some amazing people but I still feel somewhat disconnected.

Take it from a complete stranger, COVID did change the, "should I go to schools or start working" calculus. Things have changed since you made your decision, so it might be time to reevaluate.

If I could assign you a task, it would be to seek, find, and interact with a group(s) of people you admire and respect. Being a little older and wiser now, you would absolutely crush it if you decided to go back to school.
