A lot of this is related to my lifetime of mental health issues - I CHOOSE how I feel, and I control the input to get that state I want. If something is making me miserable, I leave its presence.

And for the record, volunteering is probably one of the most effective ways to meet like-minded people in your local area. AKA friends IRL, which I know lots of folks struggle with in the era of WFH and being chronically online.
