All things being equal, if a person works remotely, apparently they're more likely to trend reclusive.

At the same time, a person working in an office has the illusion of social activity.

Just because a person works in an office doesn't mean they're more well adjusted socially, or more active.

Just because a person works remotely doesn't mean they're a recluse.

Life requires effort and being engaged. Though as a remote worker myself, I do appreciate the tendency to not make an effort. However, when I do make an effort, the effort is easier and the reward greater than social activities that'd be available during an office job.

The existence of families and housemates reveals this to be a false dichotomy: either you're spending in-office time with coworkers or you don't like being around any people, seems to be the claim.

This is so spot on.

I would like to see stats for introverts who do not have mental health issues. Those living alone and working from home probably have the best outcomes across the board.
