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.

How do you all do it?

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.

Yeah I guess there's no shortcut to actually talking to people. Being shy sucks

It really does. Your best hope is that you get "adopted" by a charismatic person and just brought into their circles if you are cool.

If we were in the same city I'd be your friend. :(
