There is a notion that if someone lives alone that person is not happy and this is based on assumptions. ASSUMPTIONS as you know is making an ASS of U and ME. Having said that happiness is relative. Anyone can be happy or miserable. Those with loads of people around them could be the most miserable.
Today’s happy loner has so many outlets for them to remain happy.
The gadgets that bring the virtual world just with a click of the mouse can keep them happily occupied interacting with like minded. In the real world it is possible like minded people are hard to come by
A happy loner will have hobbies to keep them occupied. One does not need people around for that. A good swimmer,a good gardener, a good artist, a story writer……these are some of the happy loners that know how to spend their time without having people around them.
They will work around an infrastructure that will take care of their daily needs – online shopping, online banking are some examples
A mobile phone with effective features is yet another tool that a happy loner makes use of.
Those with a taste for travel is truly blessed as one does not need people around to go on holidays. Just choosing a package is all what is needed.
Health gurus say that going for walks in company is a bad thing as each one keeps their own pace. A healthy walk is where one looks around and does not necessarily have to have anyone to talk to.
A happy loner who is conscious of health does yoga and meditation and here again it is done alone and not when people are around.
Animal lovers have a hey day with their pets.
Company of some is toxic and therefore less people in one’s life the better it is.

My partner in New Zealand is a happy loner. He prefers to be alone with his pet cat now.He has a son and is separated from his dad.But what I noticed that there is always association of word blue in his emails, Skype, Facebook, plus, his clothes ,brief, Polo-shirt, t-shirt, pajamas, pants, jogging pants, all in blue. I wonder why he likes but. I never dare to ask him why , but all I know is , he is happy to be alone.In fact, he changed his mind from being marriageable to non-marriageable. That made me sick when he told me that he changed his mind to remain a non-marrying type.I think those who like to live alone pretend to be happy when actually not happy. Man is a social being and he needs someone to talk to. Having gadgets and other things never equal the happiness felt when there is human to be along with, to be happy with and to share some thoughts, problems and heartaches.
All I can say is, I can never live alone. I will be lonely of alone living in a house. I need someone to be with. It is not enough to just watch TV and do on line activities, so weird, but I cannot blame those whose preference is to live alone. They are loners and I believe they are cowards to face challenges of life just like my foreigner partner.
If an individual chooses to be alone even though they may have opportunities to have people in their life then surely they are a happy lo9t. To each their own. We cannot judge anyone and call them cowards.
Living alone is an art This is the real meaning of life. Living alone is a challenge. One who overcomes it can take up any kind of challenge and achieve it with a great ease and comfort
Yes, I agree with you that there are many who are living alone and are happy. Living alone is not a sin. If we say that man is a social animal and he needs some company in life it does not mean that he should be in the company of somebody who will be hammering around him and picks up quarrel with him It is better not to have such company
In general, most of the people will have a company But, if by chance if one had to live alone he should equip himself to face the situation There are many things available nowadays. We can make a life quite meaningful living alone
One can do yoga, one can visit ground and watch the games, one can spend time watching T.V. Meditation is another way of spending time which gives good opportunity to realize the things in life Attending foreign languages class is another way of spending time nicely There we will have different types of people we can interact with. Spending time with like-minded people on Fb and other social media sites is also a good way of spending time lonely. There are many ways. One need not worry if one has to live alone
Not many are blessed with company that is compatible or shares interests. In today's world as you have pointed out there is so much one can keep happily occupied with .
