How can I be happy without friends and family?

Love yourself and learn to be happy by yourself. You should do that even if you have a loving family and lots of friends.

I do the things I love - reading, spending hours in a library or bookstore, drawing, watching movies. :-)

Sometimes life style changes or social conformity and norms can shape our ideas and notions of what our life script should be. (I hate using the word "should"). This can add pressure on people, and give them a sense that they have to live up to these ideals. However, I've noticed that life style changes can often mean there are times when we are left without our friends and family around us through no choice of our own. Perhaps moving to a new area or young people when they go off to college. Some people struggle more when they are not getting validation from their friends and family and this can have such a negative impact on our self-esteem. So I think it's important that we always practice self compassion. To treat ourselves as we would treat someone we are listening to on here...with kindness and respect. Our happiness always starts with ourselves and by practising self compassion we can support and motivate ourselves to look after our physical, mental and emotional well being.

You need to be happy within yourself. You need to think about what triggers positivity in your life.

Everyone need someone in their lives. You do not have to be alone, even if you seek solitude. And even if you want to stay away from people - you can't be alone, you have to be connectied to someone.

If you didn't find yourself to be happy with friends and family around, or if you feel like you're depending on closed ones far too much, start by seeking comfort within yourself. Make peace with your emotions and seek to find inner tranquility. If you cannot find peace within yourself, you cannot find it elsewhere.

Doing things that fulfill the self. This can be as simple as making tea or as complicated as writing a novel. If you're passionate the world is merely a background and one can be happy with self.
