Unfortunately, you are under a curse. The only way to lift the curse is to build a physical space that attracts people. People cannot resist an interesting place.

Stack stones, hang lights, collect interesting things. Or join a project where people are doing this, like Sandland: https://www.southeastiowaunion.com/life/ottumwa-native-creat...

Joining may be easier and nobody turns down a volunteer. You may have to start something new if nothing is nearby.

But beware the monkey’s paw: once the people come, you will not be able to get rid of them easily.
