Ask HN: I'm surrounded by passive people, I'm getting depressed

Hi HN,

It has been a few years since I'm trying to involve people around me (primarily software engineer friends) in brainstorming ideas to solve problems I and others encounter on regular basis.

Sadly, they are passive, they usually complain about stuffs, they say "it would be a good idea to do that or this". However, whenever I move forward and start suggesting solutions to solve the issue, I make diagrams on how a solution could work; it always finishes in them lacking any motivation moving forward in either finding issues with the solution itself or even thinking of how to get it done.

Do you know where I can find people with the right mindset? Are there any communities where we're safe sharing ideas and designs with people willing to get things done?

Loneliness is kill me :)

PS: My wife is really supportive, so at least I have that
