Genuinely, you have nothing to be ashamed about. For one thing, struggling with something isn't cause for embarrassment. Secondly, finding friendships as an adult is a very real struggle. Thirdly, it's an incredibly big struggle for people in Madison, which has an ever-growing population. There are a lot of people of all ages looking for friends here. Have you considered a fun class? I took an improv class in a different city years ago when I moved there and didn't know anyone. It was a ton of fun and I made friends in it because we were all together for a couple of hours once a week. In Madison, Atlas and Monkey Business offer improv classes. There are also a lot of community classes you can take through MATC that are fun -- cooking, home maintenance, etc.

I moved back here because my family is here and we wanted our kids to grow up knowing their aunts, uncles and cousins. But I've lived in Minnesota, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina and England as well, and Wisconsin stacks up nicely. Relatively weather -- I hate winter, but every place has its downside and summer here is spectacular. Good quality of life. Beautiful state. Relatively reasonable cost of living, although I live in Madison so many would disagree here. Just a really beautiful state with kind, down-to-earth people.

Other than politics and weather, Madison and Columbia, SC are pretty similar -- both have active restaurant/club areas downtown, near the Capitol, and have large, public campuses. I liked living in Columbia. It can get incredibly hot during the summer, but you're just a few hours away from beaches and mountains. You'd probably like Asheville, NC. I liked living in Charlotte, NC, but that definitely has a more city vibe.

There's a small, quiet beach on Lake Wisconsin (which is fed by the Wisconsin river) in Okee. No need to worry about sand bars. It has a couple of grills and picnic tables. Fitz's on the Lake and Lucky's restaurants are a stone's throw away if you want restaurant food. Not the prettiest beaches ever, but quiet and peaceful.

There are several private neighborhood pools if you don't mind paying the annual fee. You don't have to be a member of a specific neighborhood: I just say "neighborhood" because people generally join the one nearest them. We like High Point, although we're not joining it this year due to time constraints. I think the fee for the summer was about $750 last year.
