It’s an interesting idea, but infers an initial step having been taken: ‘find someone else’. Outside of first-degree relatives, I don’t think I’m on a first-name basis with anyone in my county. (If I didn’t buy my own groceries, I could easily be categorized as a hikikomori; I’m reasonably sure that a p-doc could classify me as having schizoid personality disorder.)
Is there a compelling reason to remain in your county? (Was that meant to be country? I’m not certain.) If not, moving might have good effects for that and many other reasons. It turns out that humans tend to work better with occasional social interaction, even introverts.
I do have some reasons to stay around here—among others, I have a parent who needs near-daily assistance with various little things, whom I’m the best-positioned of the family to actually help.

… I don’t suppose any of those first-degree relatives are also interested in becoming more fit and healthy?
It’s a good thought, but I’m afraid not. :)

(Yes, I meant county. :) )
