Stuff doesn’t make us happy, people do. It’s always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.
Depends on the people and the context. You could live surrounded by people every day and be completely miserable.
You’re right, it’s not just “people.” What I mean is we need to focus more on our relationships, and on being around the people that make us happy, and less on the things we think will make us happy.
Also nature. It’s clinically proven that living your life surrounded by barren concrete fucks you up.
People like having pets and growing houseplants, just cuz, and both have been shown to do a lot of good, mentally. But we really should be bringing nature into our cities much more than we do right now.

Pictures of Houston seem surreal to me.
People are the best and worst part of existence

It’s not about the everything. It’s about what and how you have done with your life: choices, actions, history, experiences, progress, memories and principles you stand and dreams you strive for. Whether you’ve made good or bad in any aspect or at all, do you truly like the life you journey? At the end, it’s all your done, and no one’s else should definitely be as you’re given your body, abilities, grants and chances all just to make what’s on your mind come true on your own (force/will). It’s stupid to regret after you miss or abuse or reject the opportunities you had or probabilities you knew. All you have to do is move forward and do yourself better and find ways to truly achieve and fulfill if you still want and never give up.
And this is why people get hobbies
