I've been fully remote on and off since 2010. I've never been able to really connect with coworkers without in-person time spent, and usually lots of it. This has led me to taking in-office jobs on occasion just to fulfill that need for human connection.

Human's are social creatures - do whatever it takes to get some face time in with someone near by.

Something which may or may not apply to you, is that in the past, I also felt quite empty, simply because software development had become my entire life from sunrise to sundown. Once you realize your entire identity is based around one thing, specifically work, it's quite jarring to realize and hollow that is.
