I'm an introvert working IT but I do enjoy some social interaction, not really with my co-workers, I enjoy taking a break and getting out of the office and seeing other people.

I get bored out of my mind being in my apartment alone all day for days at a time. My job is a 10 minute walk so there is no hours commuting. At work my cube is in the corner by the windows with a clear view of a fairly busy intersection.

I love working from home but I go into the office by choice 1 or 2 days a week. There's usually like 1-3 other people in a very large office so half the time I don't see them.

Coffee shops are boring af I'd rather stay home. My job is pretty low key but occasionally there are sometimes where I need to do stuff and I'd hate to be some random place with questionable wi-fi when those times occur and I gotta run home or find some wi-fi or use my phone as a hot-spot.
