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.
Id say go to local events and talk to the people around you. I'm sure there are pro Palestinian rallies somewhere by you. I've met so many cool people just talking to the person standing next to me at a rally or march. Sometimes the main point of a "do nothing" protest is actually be a reason to bring like minded folks together.
Honestly there was medication for it back in 1992. I’m serious my bff went through a bout of depression and they gave her meds for social anxiety and she’s miss social butterfly now, self confident and all. It happened in the span of two weeks, I’m serious.
