Prior to the pandemic I was heavily biased, primarily due to my ADHD, to work in an office setting or at least in a co-working space of some kind. College was a persistent struggle, as I was basically unable to prevent myself from being distracted or sleeping if I was working from my apartment or my room.
When covid hit, I'd just started a new job in New York (ironic that my timing was really that bad) and I reached a point where I had to break bad habits. I went through about four "waves" of breaking these habits, as painful as that was it was still progress. There was hope for a new office in August, but that basically didn't happen. I also moved back home when my prior lease was up, because why on earth would I pay to live in New York when half the city is still closed along with insane rent.
Cut to now, I was looking forward to going back to new york for the end of my 20's, however at this time I don't really see the point anymore. Being social is a farce (either at work or in person), I'm used to having more space and frankly the financial side makes immense sense. Remote work used to be something I was very against and unexpectedly I now welcome it. I also have bad acne, so the lack of social anxiety with that in a work environment is another plus. I guess I see my time differently now, maybe I'll regret not being more social, but I feel like I got that out of my system in my early twenties living in big cities since I was 19?
