Within a short period my work BFF got RIF'd, my job transitioned from +/- 2 office days per week to permanent WFH, and I split with my wife and she took most of "our" social group with her. As introverted as I am, the sudden and extreme social isolation hit me hard. Then I coped by just making myself get out of the house and being more receptive to random social interactions at stores and whatnot. Made myself pick an interesting meetup to attend every week or so. Now, with the whole point being to isolate ourselves, I don't know what I'd do if I were still living alone. Group chats and videoconferencing really aren't a substitute for in-person human interaction.
