How can I be happy without friends and family?

It all depends on the type of person you are - some people can derive great pleasure from being alone and having that freedom, while others feel alive when they are interacting with many people. To be happy in the opposite situation, I think it is important to set a goal for yourself, and make progress towards that goal. Being productive tends to feel satisfying, especially if the goal you set for yourself is one that matters to you, or has tangible results when completed. But honestly, I think it is not worth it to live entirely without friends and family. Keep yourself busy in the meantime, but don't isolate yourself and expect yourself to be perfectly fine.

Experience new things and try to meet new people. Push yourself to the limit. Sometimes being alone is the best ime you can have. In my personal experience I have felt so alone but then I tried new things and felt amazing! Do not ever let life bring you down because life has meaning to it. You have a purpose in this world so sometimes it may be hard but if you keep your head up it will get better. Try new things every day, go to new places, change up something in your life, or even start something new.

Find something that you can do daily. Give yourself a task goal that you challenge yourself to complete each week or every day. For myself, when I was busy. I feel less lonely because there are just no time. But sometimes, when like becomes busy, I feel lonely the solutions that I give myself is order some food online and then open up my Netflix then just enjoy my time or even provide myself some time for crying. I guess every time when I cry, I feel better because my emotions can be released and vanished. All things takes time.

"Without" is a relative term. When my brother died I learned that loving myself helps a great deal when a person you love dies. When people are away on vacation or isolated because of virus protection, you have a chance to do more things that only you enjoy. It is hard to have someone you love absent from your life, but it is also a chance to explore your own joy. Try new things, if you give yourself permission to have fun, you can discover more fun things. Perhaps even things you can share when you get back together. You deserve to be happy.

By family, I’m assuming you mean people you are related to. However, this is a term that is changing more and more. For example, people may see their sports teams as ‘families’ or maybe their classes at school or their religious families. You might be part of the LGBT+ family, or the running family. Most of the 7 Cups sub-communities are examples of families! We don’t have to be related to the people that we call family is what I’m trying to say. Maybe you could have a look and think about what kind of families you might be part of? I obviously don’t know much about you, but I do know that you are part of our 7 Cups family!

Find something you love. Get a plant to take care of or a pet to take care of (if you want to and are able to). Participate fully in a hobby (collecting, crafts, sports, games, cooking, music, reading, writing, etc). Learn a new skill. Practice self-care and mindfulness. Even if you are alone, you don't have to be lonely. If you do want to make friends, get active in your local community doing what you enjoy (examples: book clubs, nature walks, conventions relating to your hobbies, etc).

Enjoy your own company like little children. Give them a plain sheet of paper and some crayons and they'll be happy. What they see here are resources, resources to enjoy their time and do something productive- drawing which will then be hung on the wall or refrigerator. Do the same thing. Find a hobby or a passion that makes you happy, makes you enjoy your own company and not rely on anyone to be happy. I always think that we should create our own happiness in order to be fully self-dependent. And also, it's okay to not find the thing that makes you happy because sometimes the process of finding is so enjoyable and filled with curiosity that that makes you happy as well.

By loving yourself. by loving the person you are and have grown to be. by doing the things you love, eating the food you love, and being in the places you love. by loving others, and being kind to the people around you. by brightening up the lives of the people around you through being a good person. by helping people become better versions of themselves, and learning to be a better person everyday. by being humble, and honest, and thoughtful. by not giving up. by finding reasons to be happy by looking for the meaning of your life. of course, if the above make you think of your friends and family, then perhaps you'd be happier learning to be with them.

Looking within myself. Working and progressing on my own self-image and spiritual path. Who am I and what am I in this world? What do i want to be in this world? Friends and family feel like a lot and quite frankly can easily feel like everything but you need to let yourself take up space in your own life. Discovering who you are and searching for inner peace and balance. What can you do to better yourself? Meditation is an amazing tool here! FInd your own relevency in your life! Work on your own goals. There is a lot more to do with you than you may realize. You have so much space to grow that you may not see the potential there.

You have to build yourself. Try to learn more about yourself as a person. What do you enjoy? When do you laugh the most? When do you feel most fulfilled? As an immigrant who moved to America without my parents, I know what It feels to be alone without friends and family. I noticed that by building myself and thinking positive, I was able to be happy without friends and family. I started new hobbies and activities, which allowed me to learn more about myself. I would encourage people to focus on oneself, and not their surrounding. I guarantee that you can be happy even without your friends and family.
