Talking about feelings is a good way to start. Even the simple act of writing them in a journal will help. It helps to release all the bottled up things that we carry in ourselves. My favorite thing to do is a gratitude journal.
I write something I am grateful for. Sometimes it's my cup of coffee, or the cool breeze on a hot day. Simple things I used to take for granted.

As someone mentioned, Churches. They have groups where you can meet people. As are libraries and senior centers. Some of these are in person, some are virtual. You can find a lot of resources on line. Virtual travel is fun and there is so much to learn about the world around us. It's where one can connect with people from All over.

All the best.
