Yes, this. I met one of my closest friends through volunteering. I do two regular volunteer jobs and they really take me out of myself and the people are great. The nice thing about volunteering is that you tend to meet people with whom you have a fair amount in common. It doesn't take that much time and it's a really restorative way to spend my time.
