I'd also say that there are probably way more people than you expect who are in situations like yours. Multiple movies have been made over this premise (I Love You, Man, The Wedding Ringer). I replaced my entire friend group with coworkers over the years and obviously working from home has had major issues in that regard. I'm pretty sure I went a week with the only person I talked to was my Google Home.
We have an advantage now at least as
no one has been socializing for 2 years. Everyone is going to be awkward. New groups will be forming constantly as we emerge from our burrows. A group like this
one will likely have many new people for each event as people becoming comfortable going out again. Not that it should matter as the goal is the same for everyone there, to make new make friends, but it's less awkward when everyone there is new too.
