It really does help to know your problems are also the problems of others, doesn't it?
I always envy the people in situation comedies who can just drop in on each other. It was one of the few good things about living in the dorms in college. But here in the real world, getting together takes planning. And it sounds like it takes more planning and a bigger time investment in the Bay Area than it does here. (Still more to visit the Bay Area from here, but that's a separate issue.)
And on that making the first move thing... I've found that the more I do it, the easier it gets. Not only do I get practice, not only do I learn that when rejection does come it isn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be, but I find that the occasional success gives me far more motivation and willingness to try again. So do keep trying to reach out and grope touch someone.
Well, anyway. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Hugs!
