Happiness is very hard to define. Some people (most of them, actually) might be content with what they do, it doesn't mean that they are intrinsically happy about it. I've spent my fair share of time in isolation and I have to say that I've always felt happy about my lifestyle until I realized how much I missed my friends and family or even just going outside. I only realized this after the fact, not during. The problem is that your perspective of the world around you is warped and can easily lead you into thinking you are happy with what you have, simply because you are too afraid to go out and experience what you're missing so you just start believing this is what you want. For some people, it might be true, though. Regardless of this fact, this is a very unhealthy and unsustainable lifestyle which should be corrected and these people should be helped. I don't see it much different from somebody being addicted to drugs. Sure, they might be happy taking drugs, but that's not going to work well forever. (Obviously this is an exaggerated example)
