It's actually about finding your purpose so I'm looking forward to it. I've tried looking on meetup.com but most of the groups meet at bars and seem like outgoing activities. I'm more of an introvert so I prefer one on one meetings.

Hi Pugs, People will sense that something is wrong when you're depressed and it's kind of hard to make new friends when you're like that. On the plus side, it sounds like you've got some leads with your church group. I find interacting with people to be vastly easier and more enjoyable after getting un-depressed. This stuff might help:
