Nothing besides my partner(when I do have one) makes me happy

For context I’m a 25 year old male who has numerous hobbies creative and physical and a somewhat decent network of friends that in spite of their flaws keep me out of trouble, a small paying job and shaky family, yet I can’t find happiness in any of this. No matter how much I indulge myself in my hobbies or social life I feel extremely unhappy and lonely. I can’t seem to connect with anyone but someone I have romantic Interest in, and even then very few women have caught my eye. I have shaky relationships with miss women I have talked to in the past, but when I was stable with them I was the happiest I could be. I wasn’t irritated as much, I was more open minded and enthusiastic, and I didn’t feel as much of a need to distract myself. I didn’t develop hobbies solely bc I needed to distract myself, I did want to improve myself, but now nothing is bringing me any happiness and I’ve done so much socially and for myself. Only having a partner makes me happy or feel fine. What do I do?

I have mixed feelings about a friend’s girlfriend and I don’t know how to act on it

This friend of mine has this girlfriend he’s been with for a few years. Within the first 2 days of me meeting her he set it off by saying I have a large penis and this gets her to start talking. Later on we go to a party hosted by my friend and towards the middle of the night some drama happens because apparently one of my other friends was hitting at this girlfriend.

Later on I begin seeing her more with him and she slowly begins complimenting me and asking me if I was her boyfriend I would let her be a stripper. Numerous flirtatious interactions later it’s near Valentine’s Day and she calls me asking for help making him a cd. While we are at her boyfriend’s house with his mom, his mom makes a joke about manhandling (boyfriend isn’t home) and amidst the commotion and laughter she goes to me and says “are you gonna manhandle me too?”

Later on I get into argument with her boyfriend that leads us to not talk until months later at another party, where he tries to talk to me and then her brings her and she begins saying I look old and mature. I feel her staring at me and later on I’m the crowd I feel someone grab my arm and I turn around and she’s right behind me.

After that I didn’t see them for a year until I went to the bar with some friends and ran into them, where it seemed chill. However a few weeks later I went to their place and while we were drinking they got into a childish and intense argument. After this commotion he leaves the room to go on the phone and then she comes up to me and goes “I missed you I thought I would never see you again. We’ve known each other for years and I’ve been thinking of you I can’t wait to see you again” and begins flirting again. I have told him before that she flirts and he has accused me of trying to get at her and has even made a comment about us hooking up. What should I do?
