I was in that shoe and definitely felt lonely until I went to a summer camp for adults just outside of Toronto called Camp Reset. It was a digital detox, nicknames only, no work talk weekend event where we played, danced, had meals together, did workshops without ever learning eachothers real names and talking about work. My life changed after that weekend.
I can genuinely say the past 2 years have been filled with joy and growth because of the community that formed after going to Reset.
I highly encourage those of you who are hungry for a community to find similar adult camps in your area and dive in. It was scary at first not knowing anyone, but now the community is 400 people strong and I have deep meaningful relationships with 2-3 dozen people I DID NOT KNOW 2 years ago. In fact I now live with two housemates I met at that camp.
There's a similar camp in California called Camp Grounded. For anyone interested in Reset, i'm happy to answer further questions. I plan to go this year as a co-creator and not just a participant.
edit: only after leaving the camp we got to know each other by real names and professions and the range of professions are far and wide.
