Hi HN, I'm a really extrovert person, now doing remote CS studies. My classes are going fine (translated to US grades they're all A or B).

However, I constantly feel stressed and depleted, since I meet so few people in person in my day life.

The classes are not particularly hard, my deadlines are not that bad, and every time I have a short break when I'm able to meet a lot of people, I'm myself again.

I've got some programmer buddies on Skype, but they're not enough. Right now I just want to drop out to be in a place with actual humans.

How do other extrovert programmers deal with the isolated life that is remote work/study?
