COVID forced me to stay in my house for an extended period of time. I never ventured back out. Businesses are certainly not incentivizing me to do so.
As a result, I've watched my bank account grow at a rate it never has. In a nearly identical upward trend on the graph so have grown my depression and loneliness.
The outside world has become hostile in addition to expensive.
I'm glad I'm old and this is not my whole life ahead of me stage.
There are still good people, friend, anywhere you go. Especially if you do try volunteering as the other commenter suggested, and there are tons and tons of various organizations always looking for good people depending on what your interests are.
If you just want to meet people and have no specific hobbies you can try volunteering at a hospital. Even a few hours once a week or every other week might really help with the loneliness.
