Expert Answer

You don't have to be alone, even if you can't see someone physically. FaceTime and Zoom make it super easy to connect with friends and family even if you can't see them in person.

Question

What are some good ways to make friends if I'm always alone?

Community Answer

Join a club or sign up for a sport. This is a great way to meet new people, and if you sign up for a club you're actually interested in, you'll probably have some things in common with the other people there.

Question

How can I enjoy outdoor activities in hot climates?

Community Answer

Try to focus on how fun the activities you are doing are, rather than the climate. You could also try carrying a cool pack with you to cool you off when it gets really hot. Outdoor swimming is also a great option.

Question

I like going on walks and runs, but it is really hilly where I live. What should I do?

Community Answer

Take advantage of that and go on hiking where it is safe to do so. You can grab a bunch of friends if you want to make it even more fun. Go exploring places and find out what you can about your local environment. Just be sure it's safe though, never go alone if there are any possibilities of dangers.
