How can you be happy on your own without wanting to have someone in your life?

Being happy on your own doesn't mean you wouldn't like someone in your life. It means you are ok if you don't have someone.

If you've no desire for sex or to have children and you're not that social and can fulfill yourself with your hobbies and career and whatever else you do then that's how it would happen I guess..

Keep your mind busy, you're so busy you don't need anyone.. but for most people that doesn't stop them "wanting"

I think we can, yes... but for some it's harder than others.. some people are more independent.. more self-reliant... others are more needy and it's no use telling them that they should love themselves first.. or that they don't need someone to complete them.. they just feel that need so strongly...

I happen to know I am not happy alone... it is possible that if my partner dies, I will choose my remaining family (mom sister cousins etc) for companionship at this point. I don’t know.

Happiness must come from within myself. Depending upon another to make you happy is a surefire way to be disappointed.

Not sure 'happy' has anything to do with it.
I work and part-time care for my Mother so whatever i want is irrelevant most of the time.

I think it's independence vs dependence. Like, when I was a teenager, I was totally codependent. I *couldn't* live on my own; I needed--and I assume you mean romantically--a romantic partner to even survive.

Now, I don't [i]need[/i] a romantic partner. Independence vs dependence.

If you, like, can't survive without a romantic partner, finding a hobby is a great idea. "Anxious" style lovers tend to do a lot better when they have somewhere else to place their focus.

I think you can if that's what you want, but i've never met anyone that does. Most people want to be the person that has someone else who leaves everyone else at the end of the day to come home to them at night.

When you realize that people are assholes and gonna leave anyway. So it's better to enjoy your company than get vulnerable and hurt.

Huh? Yall rely too much on romantic relationships. makes me wonder if you have friends, family, a community, a hobby, a goal...

Friends are more than enough for me

Or just forget about happiness and be practical and realistic and sensible.

I'm quite happy on my own....you're too young for that though
