Correct - without the approbation of others, you have the "if a tree falls in the forest" question.
Cultivating happiness without any verification of that happiness is the same as being suicidally sad or convinced you are the ruler of Mars without verification. What defines reality? Those around you define the language you speak, what foods you prefer, your range of philosophy, all your transactions, etc. In solitary confinement you'd go nuts and die. You need them, whether you accept that or not. I guess you could live as a hermit (or hermitessa), and then you could define your own terms completely.
