I love your take on this article, and I must say I have a very similar experience, being introverted and needing time and space to perform properly. I feel like my brain absorbs and processes an excessively incredible amount of inputs from the world, to the point of being literally overwhelmed in certain situations (I find your backpack comparison very fitting). Being able to work remote, on my time, with a space I can control, benefits myself and my output immensely.

Yesss I also feel overwhelmed by world inputs sometimes, I remember that since I was a kid. I also believe that working from home lifts off a weight of how you present yourself to others, which for some people might be heavier than for other people. This is not purely appearance, but also face-to-face interactions with everyone in the office space.
