It’s not for everyone, and I know what you’re saying but “feeling sloppy and desperate” is certainly not a universal experience. As a single anecdotal example, I’ve been working from home for over 5 years now and personally feel like I get a lot more pros than cons from it. Sure, I’m lazier with my personal hygiene and don’t bother to dress up (during the working day when it’s only me who can smell me), but I still go outside and go to events and talk to people outside of work, I just have more energy left to do that in my evenings and weekends now 🤷
