I understand having it seem like there is no one to talk to. I am here and there are others. I believe you can find an outlet to share.

Local, and safe, meetings are a good start as well. Have you tried looking for any online local spots? Or in a local news paper? Its great you are coming up with ideas already.

Those are more for a quicker deeper connection. I would try to cast a broad net. Maybe with Meetup or Nextdoor.

That sounds great. Does it have special sections for specific groups?
