I think you're just looking for a bit more social interaction.
Couldn't have put it more precisely (or at all near as concisely [I know the grammar there is iffy, but i wanted it to follow form ]).


I also try to avoid garnering too much association with friends and family because then it will require a certain level of commitment that I don't find myself happily conforming to; I can handle my fair share of responsibility, but I have no jurisdiction over expectations of others in regards to the relationship.

Talk, share insights, suggest an activity, to start. Oh, for example, last weekend, I probably had the same itinerary you have for this one, (save replacing the outdoor ventures with practicing piano and hitting the courts with a racket in hand) but come tonight, I randomly decided to trek on up to Delaware in order to experience the automobile show. Whilst there, I might seek out some friends in order to enjoy the sights and/or familiarize myself.
If they're busy, I'll manage. Maybe I'll spark up an intriguing conversation with a floor model, or another wayward enthusiast, who knows? What's important is that I'm not actively isolating myself, but opening opportunities.

Sort your conventions and break through some. Trying to develop a depenendency on others doesn't seem to be right for anyone, save for those on a professional or business team. Connecting and sharing with familiars though, helps us seek newer and perhaps better avenues to increase our livelihoods, and in turn, our overall satisfication with life. It is usually our motivation to change that helps us branch out and get in touch with someone who can be identified as our ideal counterpart, and in some cases, the envisioned self.
