No matter what you use, it seems they always fail and no one is interested.

Even a free app like duolicious has this problem.

    No, there were always lots of people relatively near me. Even when I lived in New Hampshire, I was only an hour away from Boston. Now I live in Manhattan. My issue is the standard one that nerds have: intense social anxiety, and all the solitary habits formed by decades of social anxiety.

    The funny thing is that when my dog was alive, I made sure that he had an active social life. I would even ask strangers with dogs if their dogs would like to meet mine.

      Damn, I can’t even do this: my dog has worse social skills than I do (we tried but she is a rescue with a hard previous life)

        Mine was weird because he had very intense separation anxiety but as long as I was with him, he loved everyone and wasn’t afraid of anything. He could even watch fireworks with me - when the noise started, he gave me a look and when he saw that I was calm, he didn’t worry either.
