God no. In fact when I worked in a big office with a bunch of agents I felt almost claustrophobic. Too many distractions and interruptions, and I need lots of space.

I do have to keep track of the TV remote because I've got music up so loud that when someone calls I have to mute it. Some people I don't. LOL

I've worked from home for almost twenty years. I love it. I did a few office stints and after six months they lost their luster. between FB, Twitter, numerous phone calls, and showings I feel I get plenty of people time.

Isolation and loneliness are parcels of the independent business trade.

Isolation is when you feel no one knows what you are doing.

Loneliness is when you feel you do not know what others are doing.

When an individual finds they do not know what others are doing and others know not of their activities and struggles, the realization is they may not be living a mentally healthy existence.

I do struggle to make sure I am not lonely or isolated.

We must all make certain the 5 essentials are present in the lives of those important to us, and they in return must insure those five are present with us. Those who live in isolation and loneliness are more likely to focus on their last chapter instead of their legacy.

I prefer to work mainly at home... Do not like to spend much time at th brokerage.. usually just a waste of time.  But I do feel the need to connect... almost daily... so either I am out with clients, or I get together with a friend(s) or other humans for a coffee, tennis, racquetball, etc... and make sure to get out of the house on a regular basis.  Church for me is a place to connect more deeply.
