The idea that having a lot of friends means happiness is one of the most widely believed myth that's totally false. It is You who decide what happiness is. If that means getting addicted to the feeling of achievement you get when you create something and watch others use it, and have an impact in the world in even a small way, then that's your happiness. If it means hanging out with friends every day, well then maybe that's your happiness now. If it means traveling around the world, then that's your happiness. Want to learn new language? Do it! Want to be socially active? Do it! But don't just do it because that's what the society makes you believe is the "cool" thing to do. But first, just ask yourself if you want to do these things because you REALLY want to do them and do them if the answer is yes. One way to figure that out is ask yourself the "Why" question multiple times. For example if you think your happiness will come from hanging out with many friends, ask yourself "Why?", and try to come up with several reasons. Then for each reason ask another round of "Why?" and so forth. A lot of times you will be met with a dead end where it's not yourself telling you that's what you want to do but the society and capitalism telling you.
