The Tax You Pay To Work From Home

💬 Join the community: https://www.skool.com/calm-connected-... You can be in a house full of people and still feel completely isolated. The "freedom" of working from home often comes with a hidden tax: the slow erosion of our social glue. We’ve traded the "water cooler" for the "webcam," and in the process, we’ve lost the ability to be truly known by the people we spend 40 hours a week with. In this episode of Between Mates, Ash and Liam dive into the sobering reality of the remote work era. They reflect on the transition from the camaraderie of the RAF and office environments, where relationships were built over 5-minute tea breaks and "Popmaster" quizzes to the transactional, surface-level interactions of modern Zoom/Teams calls. They explore why "professional faces" prevent deep connection and why men, in particular, often struggle to find spaces to be vulnerable when their primary social outlet is a digital screen. The conversation shifts toward the vital difference between being alone and being lonely, and the "social load" we accidentally place on our partners when we have no one else to turn to. 🔍 In this episode, we talk about: • The "Surface Level" Trap: Why scheduled calls kill authentic connection • The Social Glue: How incidental moments (like making tea) build lasting trust • "Alone vs. Lonely": Understanding why physical presence isn't a cure for isolation • The Professional Mask: Why the workplace taboo on "personal" topics is damaging • Transitioning Phases: Why we stop making new friends after university • Spreading the Social Load: Why your partner shouldn't be your only emotional outlet 💡 Ideas you can try in your own life: • Recognise the difference between being alone and feeling lonely • Identify your "incidental" social gaps and find ways to bridge them • Audit your "congruence" are you the same person at work as you are at home? • Seek out "variety" in your social circles to discuss different facets of your life • Don't wait for the "perfect time" to call a friend; lean into the awkwardness • Join a "Third Space" community to rebuild the social glue missing from work This episode is a call to look past the convenience of the home office and recognize the human need for deep, impromptu connection. 🎙️ Between Mates — two friends, two perspectives - talking about life, love, work, and everything in between. 🧰 Gear & Tools We Use: 🎤 Elgato Wave 3 Microphone - https://amzn.to/3LEJK8I 🎬 Edited in DaVinci Resolve 🎵 Music by Suno – https://suno.com/s/1Y75n0wTecb8NOsG Support the channel - buy us a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/betweenmates #BetweenMates #Loneliness #RemoteWork #WorkFromHome #MentalHealth #MaleFriendships #SocialConnection #PersonalGrowth
