Just now while sitting in a meeting I realized a major issue is how difficult it is to know when people are speaking to me. When in-person, it’s immediately clear, because they’re looking at me when they speak.
What are your gripes with WFH? Do you feel it is holding you back? How do you deal with it? Are you going to RTO?
Same, I just don't care about anything at work, and without any people around me I don't have a reason to pretend that I do.
In my next job search I'll be looking only at in-office jobs.

The actual work is exactly the same, but with fewer people disturbing me, a two hour shorter work-day (commute), and the ability to e.g. listen to music while I work, or have a TV show on in the background. Plus it has forced my managers to better define expectations because they cannot use nebulous "butt in seat" tracking.
I seem to get sick less (colds, flu, etc), my stress has never been lower, and communications with colleagues has improved as people have learned to use text-chat, and important meetings have a text transcript.
Wait until you go back to the office. You'll see how unproductive you really are
