“I was working all day.” Are you getting paid to work 16 hour days? If not then stop giving your employer free work. You’re devaluing your skill.

Go for a walk outside. Say hello to a stranger.

Volunteer at the library e.g. helping illiterate adults learn to read, or helping English as a second language speakers by chatting with them.

Go to a game store. They usually have open board/card/rpg games you can join. Some bars also have this.

Look online for activity groups in your area e.g. a photography group that walks around the city together. A gardening group. A sewing group. A painting group. Some of these might be advertised at your local library. Some might even meet there. Can’t find one your interested in? Make your own.

Look at public events in your city. Some of these are run by non-profits that would love if you volunteered to assist. Be careful about what you volunteer for though. Since you are looking for human interactions do not offer to help with their website, for example, since that is solitary work. These events need plenty of on-hand help.
