BACKGROUND
Two years ago, my husband and I moved from a big city to a tiny town. We have almost no friends here. There is basically one couple that we hang out with. They're city folks like us. Our personalities, interests, and lifestyle don't help: in addition being from the city, we're introverts who work online and from home. This is a low-income, mostly rural town. Everyone here knows one another, and the social cliques were formed in childhood. I miss having a close-knit group of friends.
Me - How can I make close friends in (the tiny town I currently live in)?
I Ching - 29.2.3.4.5.6 > 56
I can see myself in hexagram 56 - a wanderer, a traveler, someone with no friends in the place they're in.
I can't say I fully understand Hexagram 29 with its changing lines, but it seems like the chances of me making friends here are pretty slim. The I Ching seems to be telling me I should be shouldn't expect anything at all.
What do you guys think of this strange answer? I would sincerely appreciate your insights. Thank you.
