Feel ya. Even aside from your difficulty in finding people, the whole argument that "well, you can make friends outside of work" is a non-sequitur. It's illogical for two reasons: 1) Outside of work hours is a different topic. My work hours used to be social and enjoyable, and then they became antisocial and not enjoyable. Outside of work remained similar. 2) The knock-on effect of mass WFH is that outside of work hours the city is less busy and there are generally less people in the cafes, bars, at meetup events and so on because the urban agglomeration effect is reduced. The second one is probably going to get better over time as stuff like border controls are released and it hasn't really caused me any direct issues (I'm just sad that the buzz is gone). The first one isn't - by definition WFH is less social regardless of whether you do something after work or not.
