Pick 3 things that you enjoy doing (hobbies, crafting, bicycling, etc.) and then go on the 'net and look for groups that meet for those specific activities in your area. Not only will you meet people (helping to end the loneliness), but you will also have a shared interest with them (something to talk about other than the weather). Nowadays, there are groups for damn near everything that a person likes to do. Me? I always sought out the local bicycle club when I moved to a new area, as cycling has always been a passion of mine. Not only did I meet lots of people, but I also found riding partners who liked to do long distance rides (30-50 miles/ride). Some even became good friends who I would visit without having to go riding.

Hiking. There is nothing more amazing than nature when you need to be happy in the place you’re in, even if that place isn’t crowded.

Depending your age but have you tried Senior Centers where they have events?

If you have already tried and given up on drugs, porn and organized religion, maybe it is time for outdoor hobbies and pastimes such as hiking, bicycling, and kayaking. All give you exercise, some require skills, all entertaining singularly as well as in interest groups.

If you're being serious....

I like going to the one-shot painting classes they have in strip malls and the like. "Painting with a Twist" is one I go to often. Its a fun way to spend a few hours, meet some people--if no one else, the instructor.

Find something to do.

It depends on your brain too.

I learn Chinese, makes my head hurt so I do little by little every day.
I make models, take a look at the modelling communities on facebook, some amazing stuff out there. That depends on money, if you're loaded, then you can make some wonderful stuff, I make models out of card, cheap paint, cheap glue, etc.

Hobbies.... can make life less boring.
Or become a mercenary and go to the Ukraine.

The only problem with it is during the hot desert summers we have..........

1) I weigh 157 kg.

2) I almost never leave home. I would never put my parents (late 70s) in risk of COVID.

I guess I can become a part of a group discussing Runescape (video game) on Discord.

Do you like playing cards? I used to play online poker on Friday nights with one or more of my online friends. It's a good way to socialize without the pressure of any dating environments or sites.

I am sorry, I am from the computer generation -- age 53. I used to play Spider Solitaire on a computer a lot. Now I play Runescape.
