I try to unplug from work over lunch. Eat with your team and you'll talk about team things, so lunch really just becomes a standup with microwaved leftovers. I don't need that unless it's an emergency.
At a previous job I played cards with a bunch of folks from multiple different teams. We hardly ever worked directly with each other, but on the odd occasion that something would come up, it was great to be able to skip the part where different teams have different priorities and just have a quick 15-minute thing with someone who you're already familiar with and can easily just hash something out.

Cards is a pretty fun pass time! We have a shared jigsaw puzzle we do, but that does involve socialising...
This is often a struggle for me… I usually enjoy spending lunch with coworkers but find myself extra drained after being around people all day. When I’m WFH, I usually eat at my desk and just get more work done, but I feel pressure to socialize in office.
Pro
I'm the same! In the office I step away, mainly so it's quieter.
I think it’s fine if that’s what they choose to do, but I would not like the expectation.

Yeah I suppose it's just hard to swap back if that's how you've been doing it for so long...

Happy not to have to deal with any of that

Don't work in an office? Or just eat alone?
