Saw a stat that 70% of remote workers feel lonely and it hit home hard
I was browsing through a Buffer report last night and found out that 70% of remote workers say they feel lonely at least sometimes. That number shocked me because I've been working from my apartment in Austin for 2 years and I totally get it. Has anyone else found a coworking space here that actually helps you connect with people instead of just staring at your laptop?

Is it weird that the quiet in my apartment actually gets louder some days? I've been remote in Austin too and tried a coworking space off South Congress, it helped a bit but honestly the real connection came from grabbing coffee with folks after, not the shared desks...

Wait, is the coffee hang the actual thing that makes coworking worth it, or is it just a band-aid until you find your people? Like, what's the tipping point where the shared space stops feeling like background noise and starts feeling like a team?
