So get close to people emotionally and don't pass money between you two.
Shut down the computer and get out and do things. Hike, bike, take up gardening, learn an instrument. Take a walk around the neighborhood. Volunteer at a food bank. Doing the things you love will bring you into contact with other folks whom you know will have at least one thing in common -- a shared hobby or activity.
You'll have to leave fear behind. All the advice in the world is useless if you don't have the gumption to do that.
