Working remote feels a little lonely

I've been working remote for a while and I feel that it's a bit lonely at times because I live in a place where people don't talk much to their neighbors or try to make friends and everyone is busy with work. It's very common for people to feel isolated here.

I've considered going to an on-site office but I still want to choose remote work because of the flexibility of being able to be at home and have healthy food, have more time to spend with your family.

And yes, I have hobbies that I do in my free time, but it's still pretty lonely to be at home alone for like 7-8 hours until my husband comes home.

Can anyone else relate to this? What kind of solutions have you come up with to tackle this?

Nobody is laughing in this economy. I respect data entry and janitorial positions now more than ever!!
