What happens at lunch in your workplace? Do you split up and eat your meal alone or sit down and share a meal with your friends/co-workers?
I work at a farm which has (of coursh) hispanic landscapers. Every day for a year they meet in the garage together, while most every White guy I work with splits off alone. I've made a conscious effort the past month or two to amend this, taking at least one of them out, or a group of them for lunch. Tomorrow I'm making egg/ham/sausage sandwiches for four of my coworkers.
It's something small but I've already bonded more with my coworkers and friends, and it staves off the looming atomization hanging over all of us. If you're capable of something similar I'd highly recommend it.

Take up old fashioned hobbies you can talk about with normies - gardening, pets, metal working, whittling, etc. It's hard to make conversation when all you can talk about is the latest Minecraft update. DON'T start watching normie tv and movies or the news.
It might help to create a persona which you can assume. Think about the kind of guy you want to be - solid, thoughtful guy who actively builds community, funny or quiet, whatever - and think about how you can act like that guy. "Time to be Future Me" every time until you ARE Future You and don't have to pretend. The fruits of the spirit are a good place to start when considering the kind of person you want to demonstrably be to those around you. What does it mean to be gentle and kind? How does that look for you?

@TinyFern I've started talking with buddies about woodworking and weaving (idk why sewing is seen as a female thing when men should know how to do that as well) @WhiteTemplar @Bronsai
