There was a Talmudic teacher who was the precedent for Rip Van Winkle.
He went to sleep and woke up 70 years later.
When he woke up, all of his friends were gone.
He suffered greatly and stated, "Either give me friendship or give me death."
So what you are experiencing is not unique.
Create the community you dream of.
More hints on this in the future.
Peace.
