If the loneliness page doesn't work

Sooooo I'm a practical person eho likes actual steps of what to do and the loneliness page hasn't helped.

  • Reach out to others, such as family and friends, for support -none available or helpful
  • Use your interests as a way of making connections, - I don't have an interest
  • Use social media and online forums or gaming to connect, -social media causes rage and negative emotions, gaming bores me
  • Consider peer support from a befriender service and local groups - can't find any even in the directory
  • Meet with others in an environment that meets your sensory needs -none to meet and nowhere to go
  • Spend time with pets or assistance dogs. -zero effect 

I help make a space for others but it's not for me I don't connect there the opposite in fact it highlights how alien I am. 

So now what? Just be satisfied alone?  Anyone else felt this way and got stuck? How'd you get unstuck or can we figure something else out to try?

    Have you tried Meetup online? https://www.meetup.com/   You could browse the groups and see if something interests you. You can try something whilst sitting at home. I tried a few groups that we fun, although in the long-term they weren't what I was looking for. I did some creative writing with two groups which were completely different in style from each other. Everyone was really welcoming. There are online games groups, meditation, languages...
