What's theory or advice that will make me feel less lonely, and/or teach me to be less lonely? I'm very atomized. (hexbear.net)

Tips to make friends without spending money are welcome. I've spent years in a city without making friends.

Luckily even though I'm a minority in America, I'm not a minority in my city. :) It's filled with people of my ethnicity. So I have more opportunities to be closer with my people, and I want do the right things to get there.

Btw they don't have to be my ethnicity. Just wanna make friends to begin with. My dream is to meet cool communists around here. It's a minority city, and I figure I can't be the only one.

What I've been doing is making it a requirement to do something social every week, and that has helped a lot. Making friends is just showing face different places with some predictability or consistency until you find someone cool. Either making plans to get coffee with a coworker or acquaintance or friend, or going on meetup.com and going to one of the events. Maybe Facebook has stuff too but I hate going on there.
