I recently moved to a new city after getting married. The area we live in is a military base so I can't have family over. No one in my neighborhood seems to interested in socializing. They are also mostly a lot older than me and stay at home moms, so not a lot of common ground to work with.

I'm in my early 20s, I work full time, I also go to school full time online. I get some socialization with my coworkers, but they are male so I keep my distance to make sure they don't get the wrong idea about things. My school is online and I can't go in person because the time of the commute would make what little time I have even less, so that cuts out opportunities to socialize. I'm about an hour away from my family and can only see them on occasion because most weekends I have so much to do that I can't justify spending all day on unproductive tasks.

What do I do in this situation? Do I just accept that having friends is not something sustainable at the moment? I've heard you don't live that long if you're too socially isolated which concerns me
