I think “wanting our own personal space” is something that we all thrive for during our lives: buying a house and living in it with our family & close ones; riding a car with people we know; etc.
The problem is that it’s one of those things that we want because it just sounds better, like chocolate or a fast car, but then when our monkey brains slowly lives it through we realise it’s not really the most sustainable solution for our well being.
We evolved in tribes and social circles that are not in line with “what we want NOW because it feels safe and/or society prescribes it”. I do think that work offices were one of the few things in our highly individualistic society that allowed us to somehow subconsciously socialise and activate those primitive brain cells that we have become so detached from.
What I’m trying to say is that obligating people to come to office is horrible and it’s great pandemic is changing that, but humans need society to sponsor more ways to get us to live and interact more with one another.
And with offices being out of the equation I fear this will make it even harder for us to create subconscious tribes (ones that exist without even wanting them at first).
