I think there is another angle to this, which is that the distinctions between "being at work" and "clocking out" have, for many people who work online all day (and especially for many new to WFH people these past 2 years), faded and faded until now people feel like they are permanently on-call, permanently at the whim of their employer's/manager's/colleague's demands.
A solution, in addition to interacting with real people in person more, is to push back hard and rigidly control when and how your work makes contact with the rest of your life.
Personally, I'm a zero contact after work hours kind of guy. When my end-of day hits, I will not answer a single thing that is work related. My colleagues have learned to accept it and the world has not ended or the company failed. People are hired and paid accordingly to respond to off hours emergencies. I am not one of those people.
Obviously, people will have different roles and relationships with their work, so this type of thing won't work for everyone. But the key is more that you take matters into your own hands and that your interactions with your work become the result of a decision you make.
I am also this kind of person (0 contact outside work), and I also want to add that I had to (strongly) push back when I was contacted on my private phone while on vacation.
I literally had to tell my colleagues RTFM and don't bother me on my time off.
