Develop a hobby if you haven’t already. It’s nice to have a constant activity you can do to improve your mood.

Do stuff that genuinely makes you happy, the love you have for yourself will attract others in the best way! Also, be patient and know that you’re not the only one going through this!

You could try and get into community sports/running/cycling/climbing (you should try out pickleball if you can find it in your area), or even a gaming (video or board) group if that’s more your thing, or a book club. Could browse the app “Meetup” and see what’s around.

Try to make friends through competition and having fun - plus there are always meaningful goals to set in any of those pursuits.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
