Religion fills a social void, how do you get social belonging? Outside of this site of course
In NH in the Newport/Lebanon region which I know really well you have meetup groups, Unitarian Churches, and a college town between Lebanon and Dartmouth. I lived in southern NH for many years but I dated a guy from Canaan and hung out in Lebanon. Much going on up there.
I have no need for "social belonging".
I generally do not like people.
I get whatever I need regarding social interaction right here.
I agree with every word you said, KK.
same. Maybe not "none", but I'm fine with social rarity.
@Marcel3405 Makes walking away in the middle of a boring conversation a lot less rude than if one does it in reality.
In the past I would dig into a Q&A community like this one or start a band. I don’t get social belonging outside this site very much anymore to be honest. There’s a podcast I listen to and the host has started playing games on Twitch for a couple hours every night, so that chat room is fun with a few friends. But other than that and here, I really don’t have much of a tribe left in sociable distance.
Don't know anything about your area but in Brevard County, FL we use Meetup and have something going on at least once a week, sometimes more. Some are just get togethers and some are to expand your mind. Takes some effort but most things that are good do!
Ditto on the meetup.com activities. Very diverse and plentiful things going on this side of the state as well.
