Immediately start doing regular volunteer work, anything away from the screens and that'll get you interacting with plenty of people. There's no shortage of demand and the barrier to entry is nil.
Here's what will happen:
- You will meet many new interesting people.
- You will make new friends, raising your chances of meeting your romantic partner.
- You will feel very satisfied seeing your work directly benefit someone in a much more precarious situation than yours.
- You will get physically active and take more sun, improving your cerebral chemistry which in turn will make you feel happier and more fulfilled.
- You will get a new outlook on life, reframing your current problems and coming up with new ways to deal with issues.
Beats being dead, don't you think?
- anm89 5y agoI disagree with the no shortage of demand part. The amount of volunteer positions I've been turned down from in my life is pretty mind blowing. Still agree with the general concept.
- lcall 5y agojustserve.org can be a good resource for individuals and/or organizations -- all free, it lets them coordinate by location etc. Edit, from my related commend in another part: Justserve.org can be a good resource for individuals and/or organizations -- all free, it lets them coordinate by location etc. There are others like it I noted and could hunt up if needed.
- andrecarini 5y agoJust out of curiosity: would you like to share with us your previous experiences trying out volunteer positions? Could be a cultural or geographic difference, but here in Brazil I've never heard of anyone being turned down from a volunteer job unless it required a very specific skillset (e.g. medical/nursing volunteering).
