I agree with Cwarrior that forcing yourself out of your comfort zone is wise during this.

Definitely a good 180 is to be extroverted. After you are comfortable as an extrovert, you can shift your behavior as you see fit. Be the one setting up events. Small talk with everyone. Startbucks became my social place.

Hopefully C19 is on the way out. Set up the chess board at a coffee shop. Someone will play. Kids might be eager to learn.

I am going to bring my chess board out with my recently (About a year ago) divorced friend. I will see if we can get him interacting with some ladies.

I played on lichess.com for awhile. Made some online friends.
