I think the best answer to that is seek the bubbles you want. There's an amazing ttrpg shop 30 minutes from me, and every Saturday people from all walks of life come and play. They have Pokemon cards to old grognards arguing the value of a calvary charge. The rest of the world disappears, and they are happy. Conventions are designed to be bubbles, and you can see the edge of it. On one street people are dressed up, and on the other people are going to work. I actually chose places outside of the bubble to get some rest for my mind.
See what makes you happy, and go to those bubbles. Take breaks as needed.
