How can I be happy without friends and family?

That is difficult. It really is. I'm not saying that to make you lose faith, but most people have a hard time dealing with that. If you'd want to find a meaningful substitute for that, you probably won't be able to. But if you want to find more meaning in your life, it's extremely possible.

This is usually hard, friends and family are essential to exist in your life, but if you insist, maybe by doing the thing you love when you're alone.

I think we all need someone in our life, but relating to other people can be very hard to some of us, due to habits, emotional baggage, things out of our control. Try to love yourself, be honest with yourself, do activities you like. Integrity will draw people in. You find friends when you're comfortable with yourself, so definitely work on that! You have my cheers and well-wishing! Until then, it's okay to seek emotional support from online friends, 7cups, therapists (make sure they're good!), or even pets.

You could find interests in hobbies such as graphic design or sports. You could also learn instruments like the piano to keep you busy.

Go out and meet new people! Like random people. Anyone. Talk to people. Take note of everything that made you smile on a particular day. Talk to yourself. Aloud. And maybe in one of those random people, you'll find solace. Talk to the elderly people, who have lived, and are still living. Listen to their stories. You can ask everyone to stay in touch. Also, get a hobby. Invest a lot of time there. Try to make something good of the situation. Always. Best of luck! :)

I can learn to be happy with myself. Learn to love and accept myself. It is difficult to live without others as we are social beings and much of our happiness depends on being connected with others - a partner, our family, our friends and our community. However at times we find ourselves alone and can feel isolated and left out, than maybe everyone else is having fun without us. Sometimes we need others to constantly validate us, give us approval which can be a problem if we are totally dependent on that. A big way to be less dependent on too many friends is to spend less time on social media. This has been proven to improve ones mood as you not constantly see how everyone is having a so called wonderful time. You need find and reinforce the good in yourself. You don't need many friends. It is better to have one true friend than a hundred acquaintances. Family is important too but sometimes they are far away and some people don't have any family because they are deceased or estranged. It is all about balance about having real quality relationships when you are with your friends and family but also enjoying and trusting your own company when you are alone.

You can be happy without friends and family by making a life for yourself. And doing things you want, that help you.

Do you have to be happy without friends and family? You can always try to find something you really enjoy doing. Maybe a new hobby?

Why do you want to exclude friends and family from your happiness? Or, is it that you just don't have many friends or family in your life? Being happy is something that everyone deserves, regardless of their circumstances. It may be harder with or without certain relationships, but it's important to value yourself and the fact that you deserve fulfillment and happiness regardless of who is or isn't in your life.

Being happy can be tough. However, spending time with yourself can be an awesome experience. Some people call it dating yourself and lots of times those people are happy. Find what works best for you and go for it.

Friends and family are immensely important. However, a substantial credit for their indispensability in our lives goes to the way we are raised. The desire for family and friends is inculcated, and it's not innate. We need to realise it. Yes having friend and family make us feel secure, but at the end of the day, if we think deeply, we all need to fend for ourselves.

By focusing on how you can make yourself better for you to enjoy being in the moment and actually living in it can help attain happiness

Focus on yourself and think of things that make you happy that you don't need these people for and exercise these things regularly.

To focus on personal growth and how to give back to the world. Focus on sharing positive energy and seeking to inspire and be inspired.

It is important to be able to love yourself and be secure enough to able to separate yourself from others when you need it. Sometimes, I find it relaxing to just be on my own, with my own thoughts. And if I need to talk about it after, I will.

You can be happy by being with your pets and helping others those who are poor and needy there smile will put on a smile on your cheeks

do what you love to do. start reading novels/books, exercise every day, do something creative, these things will keep you busy and you'll be growing every day by doing these things.

You don’t need other people to make you happy. You can make yourself happy, be happy on your own. Sure people can also make you happy but it’s not very healthy to completely rely your happiness from other people.

As long as they are happy I'm happy too with or without them, I don't have to be with them just to be happy

By enjoying things that you like to do, like hobbies for example. Those things will distract you and take your mind off of worries.

You have got to be independent and believe you can be. Work hard on what you have in your mind. Your goal and you are always together

It can be difficult if you don't have any friends or family in your life. You probably feel isolated and alone and I'm sorry. But you can make your own family and find some new friends. Just put yourself out there and reach out, join a team sport, a book group or even meet some new people online. Also just know that even though family and friends are important you don't actually need others to be happy, you can find it yourself. Hang in there.

Do the things you like to do make new friends have fun with life meet new people try new things go to new places to help you try to be happy

I used to be the kind of person who based my emotion based on people. I tend to overread every of their word and interaction to me. As the time went by, I always keep in mind that no one deserves my attention if they can't return the same. When I just learn not to care and over read things, I feel less lonely and thus feel happier by myself.

Family doesn’t need to necessarily be blood related. As long as you have someone you truly trust and admire you can 100% be happy.

Learn to accept myself, and know that I am valid, even if those close for me don't make me feel that way. I can reach out to new people or co-workers.

You first need to be happy with yourself, your accomplishments, and interests. Once you're happy, or even just content with those things, you'll be able to realize that you can move on from family and old friends. A social life is important to have so you could try to engage in conversations relating to your interests and then go from there.

It is difficult as we are social creatures, but not impossible as it all depends on how much social interaction you need. As an introvert I have a very limited number of people I talk to and rely on and can go days without socialising and be perfectly happy, but many others need people around them to be happy so it depends on the individual. I think hobbies and interests where you socialise with others may help with happiness, but like I say, it's difficult and would be hard for people in the long term with no support from people who know you. That's why 7 cups helps.

Find yourself and befriend yourself and if you know yourself good enough then find friends. Maybe you'll make some that are good enough to consider family. You're put through tests in life and sometimes you get a break when you get through it.

Making friends online is easier and they too can bring you happiness, however you won't be able to (communicate) w/ them unless you have a device with you
