You have to get out there and be active, whether it's people in the
fetish community, or anywhere else. I'm going through a period of
hermit-ness, I just moved to a new city for a new job, and I don't
have any friends here. It's hard to get out and meet people. But
you have to make an effort. Even if you just start participating in
conversations online here, or wherever, and start getting to know
people through posting, you'll develop friendships here. I have many
friends who I have never even met. Gotta be a friend to get a friend,
know what I mean?
If you ever want to talk, feel free to send me
a message.
