The smoking of kindly special herbs, thustly inhaled and duely savored, rendereth ye a soft swerving of the body and aloofness of mind. 
it takes time and logistics to meet and spend time with other people / make friends. Then it takes time and practice to learn making conversation smoothly and naturally. at times I had to force myself to go back to the very limited number of places I would find friends or new friendly people. US towns are not built for making friends, they lack some common social places that other countries do.
As for finding what interests you and doing something you love. idk everyone is different I tried many hobbies and crafts before finding things I like, such as DIY biking, kayaking, picnicking, music, computer and electric stuff. I try not to horde a bunch of bulky idle half-done projects cluttering up the place, but very happy with a few creative crafty projects that are useful like building a bike or sew fit a shirt or pants or alter an accessory.
I been around Washington state and the communities along the I5 corridor are like. Log mill town, weird confederate block, azovite pub, kkk mobile homes, town of poor workers, rich people hilltop manors, MAGA junkyard, industrial sludge port, now entering Seattle (parking ticket blade runner)
These call centers are run like crooked gambling houses run by the mob. The local cops look the other way, take bribes. I've heard one actually got raided but that may be a rare occurrence.

Post 2020 and the Covid19 epidemic the states couldn't decide on how to isolate, lock-down, and re-open. So they all split into "regional state medical associations" or something like that i don't remember exactly. This was not state secession or 'semi-autonomous region' recognition etc. But it was a clear and recent example how material situations can suddenly motivate or force a re-organization on national institutional scales. To spring-board off this we can theorize; if there was another "disagreement" between states on how to react to a new situation (medical or other) that they would make similar moves, such as re-organizing into state coalitions, or perhaps smaller break-away regions. Lead by whoever is sitting leadership at the time.
