I’ve been remote for a decade. I will never work in an office again, but if you want to that is fine. I’m not the one asking you to stay remote or leave your “stable” subdivision. Instead, you seem to believe that I should want what you want because you’re happy with it. No.

There's a disconnect there where you're reading a lot into what I said.
Granted, my comment was terse.
Here's more detail of what I was thinking when I wrote that:
"""
People (myself included) fantasize about living all over the place.
But, since I (a person in my late 20s) have learned more about myself, I've started to appreciate simplicity, continuity, and roots (which I had to work really hard to create, after a very complex personal history that I won't get into here).
Because I have experienced this personal shift and really valued it, I've started to think that the desire to live in many different places is mostly mimetic, and that if I pursued this, I would not be able to have the things that I have achieved in the last 5 years.
Therefore I don't understand why this notion is so widespread or how it got into my head (but it's probably through mimesis of the novel).
"""
By all means, you do you. I'm jealous that you have found something that is really working out for you, and my comments are coming from a place of curiousity and the need to work out what I desire. I'm sorry to have failed to come across in any other way.
Cool, thanks for making that explicit.

A little aggressive but OK. Remoters are on the defense, after all. But please realize... I'm just a person on an internet forum.
