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?

    Community gardens are a good way to meet people.

    Many game shops have tabletop groups and that’s a good way to meet nerds.

    Punk/DIY shows are 40% music and 60% social event.

    People who do the drogs have very elaborate and often inclusive social structures around them.

    Places around you with bulletin boards will often be papered with events.

    The number one thing, though, is accepting conversations as they come. I don’t mean trying to small talk everyone you pass on the street, but if you have a thought that’s relevant and not rude, share it- you can end up relating really well to someone. I’m an ambivert and I don’t really seek people out, but if people talk to me I’ll talk right back, and sometimes it goes places.
