What you don't want to do is remain isolated. If you have spare time, fill it with what interests you. Persue a new or existing hobby by joining and participating in a relevant club. Volunteering is another excellent way to fill your time because you'll meet new people and get a sense of accomplishment. It may take time to develop close relationships with others, but there's value in just interacting with other people rather than just staying at home.
