Sometimes I wonder if working from home for so long has turned me into a goblin who cannot be trusted to interact with other people without making it weird.

@evacide I dare say that Fedi is also a goblin-rich environment, which is absolutely not a complaint.
@mahryekuh @evacide Not until a reply-goblin enters the thread.

@evacide Raises hand. Same.
@lisamelton @evacide Likewise. Ten months of the year I work from home, then have to change hats and do stuff for music festivals … and there are humans everywhere. It's always a tough changeover for me.

@evacide Validating, thanks. (Though I do feel like I was getting better at it there for awhile.)

@evacide working from home has only made you more powerful

@evacide I gotta be honest, it was surprising to me to find out that I actually did have a threshold for alone-time and there was such a thing as too much.
Granted, I didn't find it until COVID, but still...
Heresy, I say.
When I was a kid I dreamed of being on a mission to Mars, alone.
The South Pole seems kinda fun too.

@evacide
Iam a goblin! And being called weird is actually a compliment. -

@evacide most of the people I've worked with have been weird goblins and I'm fine with that. I think they were too.
I really miss it.

@evacide There's another way to interact with people?

I find myself leaning into the weird, with occasional side-eye from Third Thoughts. -
