  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I've been working from home for over 15 years now. One thing I do not miss is the "social" aspect of the office.

That's fair, my coworkers are really the only people I talk to. I don't know how to make friends as an adult honestly. I don't think I'm the only one in this boat

That's an issue, but it's not an issue for your job to solve for you, especially not when "solving" it would negatively impact the rest of the coworkers who prefer the benefits of WFH.

The most common advice I've seen about stuff like that is to get involved in hobbies that have clubs or groups that meet in your free time. You can try out new things or join a club about stuff you're already interested in, and you'll meet people doing stuff that you're interested in and sometimes they can become your friends.
