Focus on yourself, and what makes you happy. Once you've identified what makes you happy, do that more. Commit to yourself, it's easy to put you before anyone else!

You can learn to be happy by being your own person and finding hobbies. Morning yoga is a great way to start your day of relaxing. Perhaps drawing if you have an artistic side. Dancing or singing lessons also help. It's good to be independent once in a while, as it can give you a whole new perspective on life without others' opinions interfering.

Happiness does not have to derive from family or friends. Instead, it's how one thinks. Optimism, enthusiasm, and the incentive to be happy is the true indicator that you are enjoying life.

You can learn to appreciate yourself, regardless of others. If you don't have much influence of other people then you have a unique chance to work on this skill.

It can be very challenging to feel happy without friends and family as we are essentially social beings. However, it may be possible to find some happiness by cultivating a positive relationship with oneself. By nurturing oneself, attending to self-care, and learning how to enjoy one's own company it is possible to find a measure of happiness. It is also possible that this will unexpectedly attract other people into your life.

Basically be happy with yourself. Love who you are, embrace your weaknesses and forgive your mistakes. It's harder than it sounds but if you can be perfectly content with who you are, happiness can be found within yourself
