Focus on yourself, and what makes you happy. Once you've identified what makes you happy, do that more. Commit to yourself, it's easy to put you before anyone else!
You can learn to be happy by being your own person and finding hobbies. Morning yoga is a great way to start your day of relaxing. Perhaps drawing if you have an artistic side. Dancing or singing lessons also help. It's good to be independent once in a while, as it can give you a whole new perspective on life without others' opinions interfering.

Happiness does not have to derive from family or friends. Instead, it's how one thinks. Optimism, enthusiasm, and the incentive to be happy is the true indicator that you are enjoying life.

You can learn to appreciate yourself, regardless of others. If you don't have much influence of other people then you have a unique chance to work on this skill.
you can always be happy with or without friends & family. it's how you want to feel that happiness, the friends & family are like a bonus to your happiness. although you may feel alone, you can still be happy & be content with your life. go live a little, let go of your worries & relax. you can always make new friends, friends are the family you choose.
It can be very challenging to feel happy without friends and family as we are essentially social beings. However, it may be possible to find some happiness by cultivating a positive relationship with oneself. By nurturing oneself, attending to self-care, and learning how to enjoy one's own company it is possible to find a measure of happiness. It is also possible that this will unexpectedly attract other people into your life.
You accept yourself and do things you love like listening to your favorite music, reading a good book etc.

One feels true happiness when one is with oneself and that happens when one loves himself truly. When you accept yourself as mixture of perfection and imperfection you will love yourself and you will be always happy. Then whether you are with someone or not you will always be happy. Be confident, love yourself and be happy :D
It can be easy to rely on other people to help us feel happy, but you don't need others to feel happy. In fact, the best kind of happiness can come from you! Learning to love who you are, practicing self-care, and treating yourself as you would a treasured friend are all ways to start your own happiness.
Basically be happy with yourself. Love who you are, embrace your weaknesses and forgive your mistakes. It's harder than it sounds but if you can be perfectly content with who you are, happiness can be found within yourself

You must love yourself.. Self love is the best feeling in the world. Just be happy for who you are. Show gratitude to yourself. Do things which brings you joy, euphoria!
I always cheer myself up with music. Music doesn't save your live - it makes you strong, so you can save your own life.

I can do things I really enjoy. For example watching my favourite movie or listening to my favourite artist. Or cook for myself and enjoy good food.
Being happy simply means being comfortable with yourself. Sooner or later in your life you will come across a time where you can only depend on yourself and this is when you realize if you are comfortable or not.
I always thought that happiness comes when you are around family and friends only which I learnt after that it is totally wrong cause happiness can be observed in many things, reading is happiness, cleaning is happiness, helping people and volunteering is happiness, any small thing can be turned to happiness if it is done with your positive thoughts for yourself and for the society
If you want to learn how to be happy without friends and family, you will have to stop looking after things that you don't have, and start seeing the things that you already do.
self contentment and self love. Those two come in handy if ever you feel alone and world is being rough
You may not have others right now around you, but you have one voice that is the most important: yours. Not the one that looks from the mirror and tells you you're 'not enough - the feeling that gives you a warm blanket at night, a cup of tea, or just a smile and a sigh.
You are the wise one. If you're alone right now, rest in the strength that you are following a path, and sometime sooner rather than later, the ones you are looking for will be by your side.
You can make yourself happy for sure. I moved away from my family to a new area, didn’t know anyone apart from my boss and work people and it’s still like that now, and I’m happy. You start to not care as long as youve got the things you need in life and security. It’s easy to meet people and there’s nothing wrong with not getting to know any of them as friends. Life is what it is and you are who you are so don’t worry about it.
Get to know yourself by spending some time alone in solitude. Do something that will help you relax and focus on your mind and body. Alter your surroundings so you do not feel stagnant. Learn to love and accept yourself from the inside out. Exercise and build a healthy lifestyle. Find your passions and cultivate them. And do not be afraid to take calculated risks. Expose yourself to what takes you out of your comfort zone.
Love yourself and enjoy spending time with yourself! Find the things you enjoy and excel in them (:!
Be comfortable in your own skin. Love who you are love what you do don't look from validation from outside and you will be happy. Your friends and family will be drawn towards you.
Learn how to enjoy the peace and tranquility of being alone~ One thing that helps me is journaling my thoughts!

You can be happy without friends and family by doing things you love to make you happy and proud that you did something you dreamed of and that you were able to succeed without anyone stopping you.
Happiness is found within ourselves too. There are people who are happy being alone and some would need special or close people with them but it is all up to us where we find peace and comfort.

When it comes to friends, family, and the people that love and care for us, it is important to feel safe around those people. If the people you are currently surrounded by are making you feel like you need to be away from them, perhaps try reaching out to a support group where you can find people you do feel safe around.
It'll be a bit hard but you can do things that you love or sign up for classes that interest you. Maybe dance along to your favourite songs or sign up for a yoga class. Spend time creating edits for your favourite shows or animes or create a fan page for something or someone you love. Take care of yourself as well. Being happy can only happen if your mind and body are happy. You can meditate, exercise, get some rest, read a book or maybe even write a book. Just do things that excite you.
But do keep in mind that human interaction with friends and those you love is also a way to be happy so don't push them away completely :)
From personal experience, I highly recommend using some sort of escape, whether that be using art, dogs/ other animals, music, writing, and other passions. I have found puppies, kittens, and adopting animals has been an amazing solution to loneliness and can bring immense joy to their new owner!! If you have the financial capability of course! You could always get a fish :P
