Thank you, everyone who replied. Really.

Skeezyks: I think volunteer work really could work! I was thinking of probably doing some at one point -- working at soup kitchens, things like that. There's a lot of people out there suffering, and I'm thinking not only can I meet people, but I can also make a difference. I'm not God, but I can at least try and help someone. (Of course, considering my anger management issues, etc. it's probably a very, very, very good thing that I'm not God)

Prefabsprout: Yeah, volunteer work sounds good. In terms of hobby groups, I have a gaming group that I go to, but I think going and finding some other hobby groups would be good as well. (As for online local meetups...who knows?) And yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Fortunately I've met some pretty nice people -- some I've actually met in really odd situations (such as getting locked out of math class when I came early, having to leave math class thanks to an anxiety attack, having to wait outside school in the cold because the battery on my iPhone wore out and I forgot to bring a charger...things of that nature) which proves that sometimes, life does set up happy accidents. I mean none of those situations were fun, but I met some pretty cool people there, and I felt less...like an island, so to speak. And yeah, I'm trying to keep my mind open. I need all the options I can get, after all. And being curious about people is a good place to start, it really is.

And thanks.

Omegalamed: I might try volunteering. I'll have to look and see if there's any place I can help out, but I'm sure I can find something. And thank you. I hope I do well.

So, it looks like volunteer work is the best way to go. I'm going to have to look for some -- it can be working in shelters, anything really. I'll definitely have time to do it over the summer (which, fortunately for me, starts in May. And hopefully I can survive this Mother's Day without freaking out).
