Happiness in liking someone?

Question

All my life, i've found happiness through liking other people. Becuase i liked someone, it was something i could think about anytime i wanted, and it basically gave my life meaning. Now that the guy i like has left my university, i feel like life has little meaning, with nothing to look forward to. I realize i need to find other means of happiness, but i cant find anything else to give my life meaning. family, i suppose, but that doesnt make me happy like liking someone does. friends come and go often so that doesnt help...

how can i give meaning and happiness to my life? what can i live for now that all ive ever looked forward to in my life is gone.

Answer 1

Answer 2

I know how that can feel.  Life's meaning is just to live it.  Enjoy it.  Make the most out of it...  My friends always come quick and leave right after, so I can't really stick with friends...  I try to.  Just enjoy your life, but at the same time make it work out.  Get a nice job, doing something you like...  Pursue a career you will like.  Find someone you will fall in-love with, no matter how long it takes or how frustrating it gets.  Have fun, go to the movies, skating, anything, just enjoy it...  Don't lose hope like I do at times.  Keep being kind to people, be nice, make them happy and it'll make you happy.  Help people out if you can.  Do anything.  Life is just about living it and making it work.  I know you can make yours work and stay happy.  Liking someone is just part of life and it is a way to be happy.
