Lockdown loneliness / How to make things better..?

Feel a bit lame posting this, but has anyone else experienced a serious decline in their social life and maybe more importantly social connections?

I work in a hospital and have unsurprisingly been very busy at work for the past year or so. Been so wrapped up in getting through long shifts, getting home and getting the chores done before going back to work the next day.. etc. I have had plenty of social interaction with patients and colleagues across different disciplines.. but its obviously not the same as people that care about you.

Got the weekend off and reflecting, feeling quite low. My friendships have dwindled. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice how to revive this? Or how to make new connections? I do just mean friendships and not dating (have a long term partner who is currently living away due to COVID restrictions)

Thank you if you read all of this, and happy Saturday!

I was thinking about this today. I think it's true for everyone tbh. First lockdown I tried to zoom everything but this time nobody is trying. Sleep, work, eat, can't be bothered to walk...and repeat
