I also have sensory and migraine issues. When migraine activity is more sensory-related (less pain), I used to improvise. I'd still attend a movie at the theatre with my husband by wearing sunglasses and ear plugs. These types of "modifications" may or may not work for you.
We can derive a sense of (tribal) belongingness by sharing in watching a game (or other entertainment) with a group, like family.
I hope you can find a sense of belongingness, peace and fulfillment.
We all naturally desire these needs be met.

P.S. many friends, both single and married, have found friends with similar interests through meet-ups.
