This is useful, actually. I think I’ve been kind of doing that indirectly, but not with a direct conscious effort. It doesn’t do me much good right now, since I’m still completely isolated and don’t know of anyone who got out of a situation like mine, but I think it could still be helpful.
Then first, change your situation to NOT completely isolated.
If you’re in a town or city that’s easy, just go to a meetup of a society of some sort that sounds vaguely interesting. If you can’t find such a society, wonder from pub to coffee shop to restaurant, looking for any relevant posters.
Or just go online and look up a meetup website.
Looking for a general solution is all well and good, but you have a very specific problem. And so, rather than spending years working on a general solution while in the wrong environment, perhaps you’d be better off using the specific solution, and working on a general one later?
