Hi everyone,
Lot's of good advice already. And this will sound like a broken record to some, but really, for now at least you have to go on FetLife and find friends and events. I say this as someone who previously had no desire to go on Fet and thought it was fairly terrifying. But there are good people on there -- in fact, some of the people on ADISC are also on Fet! I happen to be one of them ... and my profile name is the same as is here.
I know not everyone has the ability to drive places, but if you can drive or take a train, etc., go where the munches/get-togethers are. If I stayed within 50 miles of where I live, I would likely still only know other ABDLs from the internet and not in real life. The first event I went to was in Connecticut and I live in New Jersey, so that is not the closest. But, by getting out and going to something, I ended up meeting people there in real life, some of which lived closer to me and whom I do get to see somewhat regularly. And I was introduced to people and events that happen closer to where I live.
Obviously, with the state of the world now, it's not possible at the moment to travel and mingle (and you shouldn't right now!). But once you can do that again, and if you can travel, be open to traveling a little farther afield from where you live. You might be surprised.
You should always be cautious, careful, sane, and safe, but don't let fear keep you from being you.
Be well,
Tab
