Does anyone feel old and useless with age?

I’m turning 60 in a few months, and I’ve had that useless feeling when I was forced to retire. I’m not very mobile at the moment, so I started using the computer to get to know people. I’ve meet a few people who have the same interests as myself, and we get together on the computer and have lunch every Tuesday, and just shoot the breeze. When it comes to having people assist you, there are programs out there to have help come to you. All you have to do is ask, and fill out forms. Hope this gives you some ideas.

@oregonmike Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You live in an area where there is lots to do, and having the university closeby, there are many opportunities for activities for everyone! Hopefully you did not suffer too badly with the recent ice storm.
The pandemic and resulting isolation has certainly been instrumental in getting people to turn to computer meeting platforms, most notably Zoom. That really has become popular. I'm glad to read you have a group to meet with each week. Are you going to get together in person one of these days?
