Theoretically another person in my life would be good, but in practice i prefer being alone with my math books.
If you are still more interested in a self-reflection approach I would read about something like the theory of positive disintegration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_disintegration
Still, I would stress that the act of naming problems out loud to a person putting their attention on you, even like in a group talk therapy setting or something, is not a no-op
Also, with your skills, you may just be able to find somewhere where they give you a long leash so that you can work w/ your math books in a mostly self-directed fashion. I agree that the job search can be hard, though..
