Okay, this might seem like a weird idea, but how about trying one of these virtual reality games where you meet people and get to know them-- ?
Not the ones where you're trying to play a game and get to a goal or anything, but just a social one, where people hang out and get together or do simple activities like virtual dancing or listening to music- or meditating, through an avatar that represents them in the virtual space- or just as I said hanging out. It might be a good way of practicing social skills and getting to know some people in a way that's less tense than real life.
I know people who've enjoyed these things and they say it helps with loneliness. There are people who for various reasons can't get out of the house-- who are very interesting and intelligent-- who go to these places for companionship.
It's just a thought-- but it might be fun and also help with loneliness.
Emsam.
