How can I be happy without friends and family?

By being alone! I believe that solitude is the best thing one can have apart from family and friends. Yes, they are important...but happiness comes fom within when you know and understand yourself, love yourself nad accept yourself, which is best done when alone.

It's tricky, but it can be done. And the answer is, in my opinion, is as cliche as it gets. Find other non-social interests, really, immerse yourself. In the initial stages, it drowns the loneliness and other bad feelings. It's good to try something you haven't ever done before, or may be something you did as a child. This will allow you to develop points of connections with other people with the same interests – places to go, things to discuss. It won't save you from never ever feeling lonely, but it will alleviate it. And in the end, you are more likely to make friends with those people than random ones you befriended just because you sat next to each other in class. Tl:dr: develop your interests.

To be happy is an inside job. Being happy can be hard by yourself sometimes but doing the things you enjoy is really good! It helps you keep your mind of not being with people so you can actually enjo yourself.

Some people can be happy without friends or family, but it becomes more and more difficult as time goes by. Your mind won't allow you to be alone. This is when you might animate things around you or invent invisible friends to talk to. This is your mind's way of comforting you during difficult times. Humans actually are far more sociable creatures then they believe themselves to be.

You can try to enjoy nature or stick to a hobby that you really lke to do. Or you can try to help other people. Helping other people really makes one feel happy and important.

All you need to be happy is yourself. Old beliefs promote the main value of humankind: the spirit. This is all you need to be happy on this Planet!

I think our future has a big part to play here. If we look towards a future we will know that more friendships are to be made. New relationships with family members can be built. Always look towards your future. Sometimes that's the only thing that can give you enough strength to survive in this world.

It's possible to be happy on our own when we embrace our own individuality and strive to achieve our own happiness through goals that we create for ourselves.

Focus on loving yourself and doing everything you can to take care of yourself and your body. Example: do things that make you happy, do light exercises frequently, eat a balanced and healthy diet, and any other self care activities that you can think of.

Finding companionship through online games or joining an interest group. Take the time alone to do things that you personally love doing but never had the time for. Keep an unusual pet, play the games u never had time for, explore new opportunities and have new experiences
