Do you have a job?

I don't currently. Are you hiring computer programmers? I've got 20+ applications sent out via Indeed, but I haven't found one yet.

Even when I was employed, I still visited the library, a few bars, and the saturday farmer's market. While I don't think visiting the bar is necessarily a must, you really should participate in your local library and farmer's market. Connecting to your community is important.

I get why you're digging at them, but there was a period in my life I went to the bar after every workday. Now I have a child. But back then, that's just how I met new people and socialized. Now I... just don't really meet new people. Maybe I'll start meeting other parents soon when it's kindergarten time, but that's about it.

I think this depends most on what kind of city you live in. I had an 8 minute walk from office to bar, and a 4 minute walk from bar to home. And the bar was on the way anyway.
