... reach out to the community through their preferred activities.

Thx for your thoughtful comment, and especially this line. That really struck a chord. I keep thinking in terms of the potential for connecting around my interests or just staying alone with my interests. But there is an important aspect of being in community to give yourself in some ways to the others. To be a part of something they care about with respect for it because they care about it and value for it because they are there valuing it. Maybe that's what most of them are doing even. Just finding excuses to be with each other.

That's a good point. There is a good chance that people are showing up not because of the activity, but simply because others are showing up.
