How can I be happy without friends and family?

Being happy simply means being comfortable with yourself. Sooner or later in your life you will come across a time where you can only depend on yourself and this is when you realize if you are comfortable or not.

I always thought that happiness comes when you are around family and friends only which I learnt after that it is totally wrong cause happiness can be observed in many things, reading is happiness, cleaning is happiness, helping people and volunteering is happiness, any small thing can be turned to happiness if it is done with your positive thoughts for yourself and for the society

If you want to learn how to be happy without friends and family, you will have to stop looking after things that you don't have, and start seeing the things that you already do.

You can make yourself happy for sure. I moved away from my family to a new area, didn’t know anyone apart from my boss and work people and it’s still like that now, and I’m happy. You start to not care as long as youve got the things you need in life and security. It’s easy to meet people and there’s nothing wrong with not getting to know any of them as friends. Life is what it is and you are who you are so don’t worry about it.

Human beings are social beings it is said, natural to feel the need to connect with fellow beings and derive company , comfort , love , affection, communication . But it is also a possiblity that when we are deprived of genuinely good connections we may feel alone and there comes the concept of self love and being self reliant for own happiness and peace . To be happy with oneself is the goal and now we can take small steps each time to reach closer to it, perhaps self introspection may help , assessing your needs , wants , what makes you feel comfortable and happy , what makes you keep going each day , spending more time with self, what do you enjoy doing alone the most. I have heard positive self affirmations are really helpful to people in reaching their goals and being closer to loving themselves, I find it helpful for myself as well . Know that it is more important to feel content within oneself and I hope you're able reach where you'd like to. Best wishes .

Our real sense of happiness is derived from ourselves. Coming to love ourselves for who we are, and knowing our intrinsic worth as individuals amongst the many.

Throughout life, friends and family come and go. It is important to fill your life with things that make you happy for yourself. Go out and do things that make you happy and give you a full life. Take a class, go exercise, get crafty, find a hobby or a specialist group. Friends can be found everywhere but know that you are in charge of making your own life as happy as you want it to be.

Most of the times happiness comes from within. Even when you're all alone in the world, if you enjoy your own company and are happy with yourself you'll be happy. But if you do want to find happiness with others, sometimes friends can be found in the most unexpected places; people can become family without having any blood relations with them. If you feel content in your own skin and if you're willing to give more to people than they can take away, you'll be happy.

A good stroll in the morning, hearing birds chirp, sipping out the coffee from mug while sitting on the easy chair, is a pure bliss. We can find ourselves decluttering our mind and experiencing newness.

Find other things that make you happy, lile a hobby or something you really like doing. Happiness can be found in many different things you just have to find a way to it.
