So hard to make friends or have meaningful connections

After my "awakening" nothing feels the same - zero interest in shallow useless conversations, I haven't owned TV since 2007 and know a couple of show names but barely watch any shows or know of celebrities, I don't hang out at malls, don't care for brands. Where do you find like-minded people? I live in Toronto and it is liberal AF, I find many people are brain washed and just boring.
