Just because you feel this way, doesn't mean anyone should do anything. People have their own goals and interests, and it seems like you have different goals than most people you know.

Sitting at home working on your project complaining you don't have connections with people is like smoking a cigarette and saying your lungs hurt. You wont find the connections you're looking for in your project.
