Enlist the help of your family to ferry you to population centers, friends, or wouldbe friends; eventually you’ll have non-family relationships that are strong enough that these new friends can come pick you up on the way elsewhere thus reducing the burden on your family.
Look into activities, hobbies, etc. that involve other people. People often gather around crafting something, music, political activism. You may also find some public debating societies interesting. There are also some public speaking clubs like Toastmasters which should draw people who have something to say and who are interested in meeting people and self-improvement.
Spend some serious time reflecting on and understanding what your criteria for an interesting person is. If you are more “luminous” about this, then you may be able to more efficiently find people nearby who you are interested in.
I will keep thinking on this and see if I can come up with other immediately actionable suggestions.
is already my default solution, but there are no friends or wolfbe friends to be shipped TO, and “population centre” is way to vague
Don’t find things like that interesting and don’t have the time for a hobby like that.
I don’t really think there is anything to know. The word was never made to stand up to any serious scrutiny and is just a kludged pointer in a general direction.
Yes. Asking them to drop you on a street-corner with a lot of people probably won’t go over too well.
How is your time currently distributed? Is there anything you’re currently using your time for that you would be willing to and have the ability to redistribute towards social activities?
Obviously, this is going to subject to cost-benefit considerations, but some sense of how much flexibility you have here will help point towards realizable social activities.
about most stuff verily so, although I can’t count on them to be rational. Think sort of like rationalist!Harry’s situation from MoR.
very much in favor
yes.
I don’t have any standardised “evaluation process”, it depends on the opportunity cost and probabilities of various outcomes for the particular case.
Three suggestions then:

it’s complicated, but the end result is equivalent to “yes, but not much”
