Other than 1 or 2 individuals from previous jobs I've never in my life felt social fulfillment from colleagues. Even those 2 people I haven't spoken to in a long, long time and in fact only remembered they existed because I'm writing this post.

As far as social situations go, colleagues rank somewhere near the bus driver I greet every morning in terms of how much fulfillment they give me.

Meanwhile, the only people in 6 years of work in this town I managed to keep talking to in more than one occasion (outside of work) are my co-workers. And I was trying to go to 2-3 meetups a week pre-COVID. Nothing stuck.

If I graduated amidst COVID, I may legitimately not have anyone to talk to.
