my two bits...if you arent inclined, or have not socialized for a while. Just pick one thing, and try it for a length of time, say, a book club that meets each month, do it for a year...or a class that meets each week and do it for eight or ten weeks, or a week end workshop.
dont be surprised if it turns out you are the first to invite anyone to coffee/tea, I took art classes for a intensive month, and was surprised at the lack of socialization that went on. I thought I would leave with some life long friendships...none, nada, zero.
I have a theory that"our" generation (whatever "our" means) just does not value long term relationships. Or doesnt know how to start and continue them
Any one care to comment on what they are replaced by?
