Local libraries are my current places to visit as they have general interest programs -- board games, reading what book or news inspired you, puzzles that teach us logical thinking AND having a relaxed time hopefully that will open up to more questions and interests that we might find in common with others. It's an entry point to knowing people IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. After all a friend far away is not of much use -- this is why fb friends or on Instagram or similar platfoms are EMPTY even if momentarily enjoyable.
