how can a 26 year old enjoy working from home?

[Anonymous]

Working from home and living alone is feelin’ a lot like 2020. Everyday feels the same, no physical contact, and way too much thinking. Anyone have tips on getting out of this rut?

I thought living alone was going to be so much fun, because in every tv show, you moved out in your 20s even because living alone is so much fun.......

I would just rent a small studio and travel around the country/world. Live in different places for a few months each while working remotely.

Otherwise get an in person job. When I was 26 I didn’t know very many 26 year olds who lived alone. We shared houses and worked out of the house. It was a fantastic time in my life.

Go out in the evenings. How is this difficult?

A lot of work in the government and some in private sectors, you are NOT allowed to be working outside the US.

Get out of the house. Join a gym, take neighborhood walks, join a club, go to the library, take a class or 2, etc. You have to take the initiative to get out and about.

Let me guess. You’re a mom who works remotely and love it because you can slack off.

Can you get a roommate?

Can you find a job that is in office a few days a week. All the 20s somethings I know are going into the office. I know one who had no office to go to, so he got roommates so he wasn't alone all the time. But then there is no place to retreat since here he is at 27 and living like he's in a frat house. Not conducive to serious dating.

I am a 26 years old software engineer and I've never been back to the office after March 2020. WFH is the best thing for young people. I wake up at 6am to go to the gym and be back home at 8am to have breakfast, and start the work day at 8:30am. Took an hour break during lunch to play pickleball with friends and have lunch after that. Play tennis or 9 holes golf with friends at 5pm and go out for a drink and dinner after that. If I have to work in the office, I would not be able to go to the gym, play PB/tennis, and hang out with friends on weekdays. No way I am going back to the office.

That’s because you’re capable of making friends unlike the OP. And there was a person who posted here a few months ago (maybe the same OP) that was freaking out that working from home was limiting her dating options. 😳

What a bizarre reply. How many 20-somethings do you know that remain holed up at home every evening?

Is there a need to be so rude in every response? You could give the same advice without the attitude…

You need to get a spouse and have kids, et voila!

My daughters are in their twenties. Oldest goes to the office frequently. They have good snacks and they have a gym and she likes to buy nice clothes and show them off at the office. Lots of young people work there and they have frequent social events and go out for drinks. Youngest goes in several days a week as well. I think she might be dating her boss but she also likes wearing cute outfits and she likes her colleagues. I met my husband at work. I used to dress up cute for work as well.
