Hi monkey mind,

I started creating an online presence a few years ago and believe it or not, it sometimes made me feel even more isolated.

It sounds like you want real human contact. Places of worship are great places for that. They tend to do outreach programs so you can help people, have groups for parents, have dinners, etc. Even if you believe in “nothing” there are Unitarian churches.

The next best bet is your town’s rec center or community center.

As for online, it is so much easier to join a forum/community that already exists. No need to recreate the wheel.

Good Luck!
