To love yourself enough is important to make yourself happy. If you do not love yourself, what is the point of wanting to be happy? Friends and family could be a bonus. But they will not always be with us.

You can focus on doing things you enjoy, such as finding a hobby. You can do artwork or play games. You don't have to be surrounded by people to be happy.

There are many things different people find happiness in! Some find happiness in caring for a pet or through the work their jobs provide them. Others may find happiness in music or in being outdoors. I think the most important thing is to find something you appreciate or care for.

Just find what you love to do and do that, it will make you feel happy, even without friends and family. Or you could go to a support group for lonely people, or to a therapist and they would help you find happiness.

Plenty of ways. Doing volunteer work, having good colleagues, doing your favourite sports, enjoying nature, making others happy, taking care of animals.

You can't be. Humans are made that way. If you don't have any family or friends then you'll eventually fall into depression.

Many times, I see that friends and family are not there as we always see and feel so learning to readjust to not having them there or depending on them teaches you to just be happy with what you have to see it period another words you just have to learn to find your own happiness because when you think about it you're all alone no matter what and how you see things

Focus on things that make you happy. For instance, I read while listening to music. I find that very enlivening and engaging. Also, listen to books on tape and watch different types of videos. I recommend Nova.
