- Avoid comparing yourself to others. This is easier said than done, but try to avoid comparing your social life to anyone else’s. It’s not the number of friends you have or the frequency of your social outings that matters.

- Know your worth. Remember, happiness doesn't need to be dependent on any outside person or thing. “Relationships, when healthy, are wonderful and add to [our lives]; however, the absence of them does not mean that [your] life is incomplete,” says Buxani-Murpuri.
