Talk to people you know online (or make new friends), or else just read a book if you want to think about something else.

I'm happy talking if you want to.

Volunteer - basically at your local charity shop, food bank, fundraising event etc. It's the easiest way to talk to others "safely" and put an experience on your CV

Find new ways to distract yourself and occupy your time. Go online, try gaming, make new friends on forums. Do stuff online with like minded people. YouTube, Iplayer, 4od <--- all the stuff I do to procrastinate. Give it a bash! You don't need people all the time. Trust me on that.

Go to local meetups, join societies, spend time with existing friends, talk to people online etc.

Drop me a PM if you want a friend. :smile:

you can also join game groups, playing games that require you to communicate with people. online gaming is always available no matter what time of day it is. If you need someone to talk to I'm normally always free so just PM me
