Just found out my neighbor thinks I “don’t work” because I’m home all day. I laughed it off, but it hit a nerve. I run two businesses and pay self-employment tax out the nose. Anyone else feel weirdly invisible as a WFH freelancer?

I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.
