Get off hacker news then! Haha. No, I agree entirely. People not talking to each other is ultimately the problem. My wife was depressed because she had nobody but me to talk to. She went to get help but that didn’t do much so we moved back to her hometown and live next to her parents. Now she sees and talks to her mom every day and I have not seen any evidence of depression. Myself, I have on and off moments where I feel like total shit. It doesn’t help that I have 0 friends and never go out anywhere.

Find or start a weekly meetup.com group for something you're interested in. Go every week. Within months you'll have friends. I've done it in a couple cities now and it works great. Any adults who are new to your city are in the same boat -- it's hard to make friends, but this plan works.
