I'd play a lot more videogames. I only play 1-2 hours a day on the weekends.

Try to find new hobbies, meet people with similar interests.

That rather depends on the type of person that one is, I guess.

I suppose that an advantage of having no family is that you have complete independence to be your own person and get to live without obligations to anyone. Obviously this comes at the heavy price of having to fend entirely for yourself and being the sole bearer of any mistakes you make, but it is something.

Kind of in that position right now so..yea. The best thing to do, imo, is to keep living and remain hopeful of tomorrow. Never know what the next day or month or year will bring, eh?

So yea, be all optimistic and shit. And eat cookies.

Having no family or friends is a blessing in disguise. With no one tying you down with their events and you are free to pursue what you actually want to do. Otherwise you get to that age where everyone is having babies and you have to make it to everyone's baby shower and birth day. All that stuff you don't care about. And then Christmas rolls around and you have to buy more gifts? as if those babies don't have enough stuff? GAWD end me now.

There are actually loads of sites for meeting like-minded people locally, much like dating sites but with less pressure to actually become involved, lol. Most people will just geek out over skype, or want to catch a movie or whatever.

They're almost only used by foreigners and people who are coming into a new city alone and want people to hang with and/or show em around a little, so the attitudes (in my experience) are really chill and friendly. I used one when I moved to a new city as well to see what sort of people I'd meet, since for a little while I had no job & wasn't in school yet so meeting people was awkward, to say the least. (I still keep in touch with a few people I've met from there, too!)

10/10 I recommend the dating-site-but-for-new-friends-instead approach if you're not into any of the regular social scenes.

Edit: That only covers the buddy aspect, sorry. Idk about family, man. But blood is thicker than water anyway, I think. (The original meaning though..)

I don't think things would change much. I would just watch more anime or do more things obligation free.

Didn't have any? As if they didn't exist? I wouldn't exist either if I didn't have a family, so I guess that's that.

Without a family I wouldn't exist to begin with. But if you mean that they all would have died when I was still a kid, then I would be rich now. It would be quite lonely however. Without my friends it would be a lot more boring.

There are a lot of people in that case, and all I can say is that it's a daily suffering and that they don't know what's true happiness is. But that doesn't mean that they'll suffer and be alone endlessly.. they can create their own happiness by finding a passion they really love, falling in love.. or in short, having something they could live for.

At home or outside I'd poop and or pee wherever I please without noone ever bothering me. lel

On a more serious note, I'd honestly just walk mindlessly and go many different places where I haven't been to.

Cry. Be depressed. Cry.

I cannot live without others, frankly. Exist, I can. Although number of my friends is pretty close to 0 now anyway, they are part of my life. Everyone around is, actually.

Oh and if you mean you had no people in your life ever? You wouldn't develop culturally as a normal member of a social species would. Unless you were often in contact with the society in question ofc.... But usually family and friends are the biggest influencers in what kind of person you become, you are not your own you, you are whatever your surroundings made you.

So yeah I would be a person with no empathy and probably a psychopath. Like anyone. xD

Meet people and make friends.
If no one would really want, then nothing would change, I'd still go on living my life, pursuing my passions.
Also, visit orphanages, prisons, hospitals~ and make the people there feel loved and share them my hope.
