Set yourself up for the future. This is a topic I discuss in the upcoming video about loneliness, which I am still unsatisfied with but people need it.
One of the best decisions I ever made was sticking my pinky toe outside of my social circle every now and then.
If someone I didn't super know invited me to an event, I'd go. If I met with a mutual friend that I barely knew, I'd give it a crack at getting to know them, instead of being quiet. I said no to 'testing' people and cutting them off if I didn't need to (making my bubble smaller) and I stopped giving my time as much to people who didn't reciprocate.
And gradually, that bubble expanded. Then, feeling lonely and misunderstood on a regular basis wasn't only a distant memory, but actually difficult.
Your people are out there. They exist. I thought they didn't. But I was proven wrong. I want to make them easier to find for you, and you easier to find for them.

Keeping yourself in a little bubble...
