Answer 2

I think it is possible to be happy without others loving you, but it is impossible to be happy unless you can love someone other than yourself.

Answer 3

If we're still happy after that (breaking up from our loved ones that is), then its nothing but a case of fooling ourselves.

Answer 4

Happiness is when humility meets content.

Separation is a relative concept because the universe is mighty big.  Any form of human contact or communication could be considered closeness in that perspective.

Love is but only part of one's life, without it, life must still go on.  Happiness is about all aspects of one's life and is therefore beyond just being in love.

It is all in the attitude, specifically, your own.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Happiness is not wholly dependent upon whether or not you have someone there.  People can bring you joy and help you to feel comfortable.  The only true way to be happy is to make the decision to be a happy person.  Only you can choose to be happy or unhappy.  It's the only aspect of your life over which you have 100% control.  So, in a very basic nutshell, yes it is possible to be happy without people who love you, but its more difficult.
