How can I be happy without friends and family?

Learning to be comfortable and content with yourself is a difficult task, and even more so when you don't have those fall backs. But remembering to take care of yourself, and finding things to enjoy can be really powerful.

I teach my kids that i am my own best friends and they are their own best friend. I speak to myself more than anyone else and i show my self-love and compassion. Moving to a new area away from family and friends was difficult and once i steadied my own ship, i started to look outwards for genuinely good people.

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?
