When I first moved back to CA and was so alone I went on line looking for support and came across the meetups, I believe they are nation wide and it consist of different groups that have a common bond and they meet and do activities. I joined one for women 40 and over and love going out to dinner and the movies with them. It has given me the opportunity to talk and get to know others before bringing them into my personal circle. That worked well for me you can join as many meetups as you see fit and feel you will belong. Give it a try. Lonliness is a hard thing to swallow I still battle with it because I push people away and also have social anxiety. finding a good support group worked well for me and after I left the group I remained friends with one member who knew my history and was and knew how to listen and be there for me. Those are 2 good starting places. Good luck
