Yeah, I can see the argument that work at least in theory is a group of people who have (or had) similar interests. However work from home gives me so much more time flexibility that if I want to go to some meetup, I just would (Pre coronavirus).

Yeah, that's the tough thing to separate. How much am I missing social interactions of colleagues vs just social interactions outside my house in general.

In my case it helped to have physical zone which I was "at work" in. It allowed me to figure out what was work related and not. If I wanted to talk to them outside of that mental barrier, not about work, then I liked THEM, vs having to be paid to talk to them.
