"Awesome. "
I'm boring
Yep. Basically that. I'm a bump on a log. Turd in the punch bowl. I suck. I'm boring.
Now, let me explain. I'm officially working from home, on writing and launching my online based business. I moved to a new city 3 months ago, and I've not met any new people or done any cool things since I've been here. Mainly because I'm not working a traditional job, and I don't have any ways of meeting people. So, that being said, what are some things I can do TO meet new people?
The other - I don't know what I like to do so I don't do anything, I sit at home bored. What can I do to break myself out of this rut, what hobbie should I try? Where should I go? How can I find things I like to do? I feel like a shut in. And it's making my depression worse.

Looks like there are four campuses around Dallas ... Downtown, Plano, Grapevine, and Ft. Worth.

I'm a christian. Non-demonational. I'm totally comfortable with it, I'm just at odds with what some preachers use the pulpit to say and do. Why do you ask?

There's got to be tons of suitable churches, either nondenominational, or some brand of Protestant that's close enough, including some nontraditional-feel Baptist.

Try Christ Chapel Bible Church on Montgomery or McKinney Memorial on Hulen. Both offer no traditional and traditional services. Both non-denom AKA baltists who dot wanna be called baptists (a jest).
Both churches have a large young person age group.

The new friends I'm making (besides people I meet on public transportation *wink*) are because I read the fine print and professional "spam" - the journals that mention local discussion groups, way in the back, in fine print, same with church activities in the bulletin, also the professional org emails that go to 100s of people that you get 4/day and want to ignore (and I often do), but that often tell you where to get free food and wine and similarly-situated connections

Watch yourself, old son. I know a person who has managed to do exactly nothing with her life since she graduated college...30-odd years ago. and you may well be entering that path. Work from home, "more efficient late at night", "a night owl" "need a routine", "don't know what to do with myself" don't care much about organized religion...I've heard those many times.
I'm not trying to be some sort of simplistic, bootstrap yourself up type, but sometimes you need to do more to rectify your situation that fuss about it online.

I was just going to say join a hobby club, but then read your second paragraph....
I have too many hobbies, the ones that get me out and about are things like visits to my planetarium, museums, zoos (and that's when I'm alone and not out with friends).
Browse a library, the nonfiction shelves. Or even a bookstore. What topics excite you? Anything catch your eye? Only you can decide what interests you. Use that as a springboard.

What do you watch? If it is history, look at historic reenactment. If it is sports, join a local amateur team. If it is cooking hows take some classes.

Are you making a fulltime income doing whatever it is your doing from home or are you trying to launch a website or blog or something?
If you're not making a fulltime income to support yourself I'd recomend going and getting a real job, even if only part time. It will give you some structure, some self worth, a paycheck, and you can get out there and meet some people. Benig a young person getting a job in retail, at a bar, at a restaurant, etc there will be lots of other young people nad you can meet some friends.
As for your online based business I'm also into blogging, running websites, internet marekting, I see your also writing a book I'm an amazon kdp publisher, and also have an ecomerce site. I'm always looking to network with tohers. I'm always looking for guest bloggers, let me know if you'd like to maybe do some guest blogging and I can give you some backlinks and help you promote your site or business if our interets line up in terms of your business an my blogs.

Virtues, maybe. But manners and ethics are social constructs, not moral ones. Morals *may* come into play, but are not necessarily part of the equation. "
Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"I would disagree about manners.
Manners are a subset of ethics, therefore ultimately morals and virtues will come into play."

Regardless of the specifics, we can all agree on one thing. Jesus Christ was the perfect Man who died and rose again for us such that we could have fellowship with Him
