Am I insane for hating remote working?
Work at a company where you can work from home Wednesdays and Thursdays. I don't like working in the same place I'm sleeping, because that effectively means I'm never leaving that place. Also makes me feel lonely. You can work from office on Wed and Thu but you'll be pretty much the only one. I'd prefer it if my company didn't have the option to work remotely. Am I insane?
Sounds like it's an option? On Fridays most people in my dept wfh, but I still go in for the same reason.
Go to Starbucks and work from there. There will be plenty of people to keep you company.
I do this often.

When I work remote I like to go to coffee shops or breweries to get out of the house. Maybe try that?
Breweries is a great idea. I should try that
Most brewery taprooms will be closed during the day though? Unless you're only going to optimism.
Or make the most of it. Get an Airbnb someplace nice and work from there once in a while.

I'm partially with you. I hate not having that separation, but don't mind the empty office for a day or two per week. Good time to get shit done.
Explore coffee shops around your area. I'm talking about Hipster/cool coffee shops. Those $5 coffees bring your coding skills to another level.
You’re insane if you want the option taken away from everyone. But just you? No, you sound like you’re more productive in office and get more free time that way.
So to sum up: - wfh sucks cuz you don't like to work in the same place you sleep. - working from office is not an option, cuz you'll be alone there. So is it coworkers that you miss or the environment that is not professional enough? Trust me, if you complain and your company changes the policy, you won't want to see those people anymore (or most likely the other way around)
Yes.
Can you refer me to your company?
