I can concur with have you say about having low expectations from “friends” – we expect little but from true friends we will get a lot more back anyway. Otherwise as you and others above have said, we move on from that friendship.

Another great point is the one made above by Belinda Munoz about being authentic. It really is so true that if you just be authentic and yourself, people will definitely get who you are – and the world will become your oyster.

So my summary of how to become happy, incorporating your points is to be authentic, self-contained and have zero expectations from others.

Thanks again for a thought provoking post.
