I don't think there's a way to be instantly happy. In fact, I don't think there is a way to be happy. I'm probably just as miserable as you are. Closest thing I get to happiness is through escapism. I just listen to music all day, that's my form of escape. Other people drink alcohol, play games, scroll social media, just anything to distract themselves from problems. I'm so down bad for anyone to talk to, hmu if ur feeling brave (or down bad idfk)

Firstly, your parents cannot force or pressure you to do anything, no matter how small or how big the thing is. Having a boyfriend or not, should be completely your choice,heck relationships without love or which are forced don't even work.

I know that's something very easy to say but hard to implement but its much more better than doing something you don't want to. Many people want to be single these days and its absolutely alright. You have to prove nothing to anyone, just be who you are, and control your life the way you want. The problem isn't you, its their mentality
