Ask Does freelancing feel lonely compared to working in an office environment?

[Edward22]

Working in an office means you are around people every day, even if you are not close friends with all of them. There is small talk, team meetings, and a general sense that you are part of something. Freelancing strips most of that away. You work alone most of the time, and some days you might not speak to anyone at all. For some people that is a relief, but for others it becomes something they did not expect to miss. Did the loneliness surprise you when you started freelancing, or did you find ways around it?
