You cope by learning ways to love and comfort yourself internally. Eventually authentic human connections fade. When you learn to love yourself your true purpose manifests. It’s not easy [at all] but give it a try. You’ll be stronger for it. Otherwise, secure an in-person job. Working remotely isn’t for everyone.

Try working in a coffee shop, co working space, library etc? Maybe find a community of other remote workers?

Join meetup groups in your area. Some have virtual groups and can give you the socialization you may be missing. Meetup is a great app and I found a few groups that I’ve been connected to for the last couple of years.

Perhaps schedule 'coffee breaks' with coworkers or take advantage of other opportunities to meet on business related tasks.
