Some food for thought: seems like the majority prefer to WFH, now think of all the coworkers you were having lunch with, how many of them would prefer to have lunch with you if they were not forced to go to the office? Not many.

Don’t get too attached to people from work.

This may be your experience, but I made lots of friends at work, and kept in touch for a long time after leaving. People I first met at work are currently a large fraction of my real-world friends.

I regularly meet with the same people I used to work with before I changed jobs to a remote one. I have zero friends in my new remote work (except I person that I knew before).

It's OK to make friends at work.
