The article highlights how remote work, while beneficial for productivity, can lead to psychological disorientation for employees who thrive on interpersonal feedback. Many professionals experience increased anxiety and feelings of exclusion when communication is limited, causing them to interpret silence as a sign of trouble or exclusion. The absence of social signals disrupts their sense of connection, leading them to assume negative scenarios. In contrast, returning to the office often alleviates these fears by providing immediate feedback through casual interactions and visible affirmation of one's role.
When the feedback loop goes silent, the mind fills in the blanks with fear, leading to paranoia and feelings of exclusion.
The moment you step back into the office, the feeling of disconnection dissolves, as micro-confirmations remind us we belong.
