Curious: why don't you attend the support group if you think you should but are willing to meet people otherwise? What is it about support groups that keeps you from attending?

You like to ride bikes so perhaps you could find some biking group in your area on meetup.com? Finding people with the same hobbies and interests is a good place to meet people.

Did you have many friends in school? Have you no friends at all? (((Hugs)))
