In this case, I wrote "honest question" since my question could be interpreted as trolling otherwise. The familialism is so strong here that it's unfathomable that some people (like me) just don't care that much about family and friends.

I don't give two shits about family; my family are assholes and aren't worth the time of day.

That being said, I have found the feeling happiness and contentment impossible to obtain without mutual human companionship. That being said, the amount of human companionship needed is probably heavily variable between humans; I'm sure some people are happier with less. I find it difficult to imagine a well adjusted (non serial killer) person who is perfectly happy with none. If your personal needs for companionship have always been met, I understand why you'd be confused as to why people seek it out so much.

One of the biggest problems people in general have is not realizing that your relatives are not necessarily your family.

Family is who you choose. +1 for that!
