>>11691173Being happy relies on honesty.
If everything you do, say, and believe are the same you will be happy. You can't be happy while having to censor yourself, or lying to people for their validation, or acting like a different person to hang with people.
You can only achieve actual happiness by being honest and knowing that you're worth peoples' time by virtue of your actions.
You do this by being self-sufficient and not using excuses to insulate you from growth.
You need to live your life in a way that allows you to think, act, and say the same things. If you're caught in a lifestyle that doesn't allow you to be genuine then you will never find the confidence needed to grow into a genuine lifestyle and attract like minded people.
Confidence comes from proving to YOURSELF that you're capable. If you don't have the skills to get you confidence then you know what to change.
Luck is preparation and good timing.
