I’m very introverted, so loneliness was usually not a big problem for me. But now I feel like I just need some more people to talk to. Just something else to do besides work.

How do you all do it?

    Have you tried Facebook? Nextdoor? Instagram?

    Lots of leftist groups in your vicinity that you can find through Instagram especially.

    TTRPG groups are a good bet too.

      I haven’t tried anything yet. I just wanted to know what other people are doing.

      I was thinking about doing some volunteer work or just showing up at random public gatherings. Myabe I’ll meet some cool people this way

        Volunteer work is great as you’ll have something to keep you occupied if you’re struggling to initiate a conversation, and also you’ll have to talk to people just a bit to get some instruction or collaborate on the work. You’ll start off on a good fit since people will like that you’re helping out with their favourite cause, and they’ll be naturally a bit curious about you and why you joined.
