By making new friends. Online friendships, socialising in places that feel natural and comfortable - for example, a writing group makes me feel at home. Some people find peace at the church. Go to places where you can find like minded people. You may become friends.Books. It's the best feeling to read and soak up the fictional glory. I'm Cleopatra!I take lone dinners. Me and food = foodgasm.You'll figure it out, mate. Feel free to write me for a chat - I am not hiding my username. Hope you find a ton of happiness. Best wishes. :)

If anything I'm struggling with that myself but if our reasons are similar, in my case being that I've given up on both the concept of family and friends because of unmatched efforts from them. I've found that mourning the loss of both helps. With anything that needs to be let go of in life you must first grieve the absence of it and soon after acceptance follows and when you don't dwell on something any more you find solace and contentment in its absence. You might not be happy afterwards but surely not having family or friends will not be the reason for that

Learn to be happy with yourself. What are the things that you enjoy doing when you are alone. For instance, songwriting, painting or even meditation. Its actually a good thing to spend alone time with yourself. Take a day out of the week that is strictly for you and you will find yourself being happy even when your friends and family are not around!

One can be happy without friends and family by thinking what all god has given you. You do have a proper functional body without any deformity. You have food to eat,clothes to wear and a place to live. Try finding happiness in little small things.

Happiness. Well, its not something that only friends and family can give you. Of course you can be happy without friends and family, find something you love- it may be a hobby, an object or maybe even a tv show it can be anything. Something that makes you smile. Or else you can discover yourself and find happiness through self-love.

Loneliness can be just a mental issue, also happiness does not depend on company, simple and little things can make a person happy, a dog perhaps, a bicycle, a book, etc...

Its simple try to see beauty and gratitude in everything around you see what you can do well alone and focus on yourself that will be good and try to distract yourself from the fact that you don't have someone beside you. And see little beautiful things around you. Like falling leaves, snow, bees, parks, pets
