Honestly, I don't know. The last time I remember I did was when I wanted to attend an event organised by the Irish Embassy, which was basically just a little book club where we'd discuss Dubliners for a few hours in English.
I got lost in the city, walked up and down for two hours, and then I got home and I cried from the sheer anger I felt. Though this was a good two years ago now, I think.

I've thought about the same thing (since I'm in the same boat) and I think the solution is in befriending older virtuous men and through reading great literature. This video explains the literature solution pretty well: https://youtu.be/pScJa4ZbYo0
>Many people lament over a lack of good role models and blame their problems on never having been taught how to deal with life’s difficulties. But the great books can help mitigate such deficiencies. Biographies offer us access to role models who exceed any one we are likely to meet in real life. The great works of fiction depict the human condition, and ways to navigate it, in a way unsurpassed by any other medium. While non-fiction books provide us with access to the ideas and worldviews of some of the greatest minds of history.
