> DenebI speak to you, Deneb, because you have so much energy. Every hospital uses volunteers. Every publicly funded retirement home uses volunteers, in my experience. There are many ways you could help, with no prior training, but just giving your energy to the care of people who need it. In doing so, you touch lives. And you meet people.
As to support systems, you build them the same way. You invest of yourself. Sometimes all it takes is being somewhere, and doing similar things, with similar-minded people. When's the last time you met with your astronomy buddies? When's the last time you looked at the night sky? When is the last time you looked at your namesake, Deneb?
There are some good ideas being tossed around in this thread. But you can't think your way into having a support system. You do things with people, and it happens. The more people you do things with, the more it happens.
It comes from saying yes more, instead of no.
