Is it possible to live a happy life being single forever? Is it sustainable

It's possible but much more difficult.

Bear in mind being happy in a relationship is also very difficult and many people fantasize about being single.

It is but I feel like you first need experience not living like that(realizing it's not all it's cracked up to be for some) or some sort of different brain wiring. I have a friend who never had any relationship and he's literally the happiest guy I know, and no, he's not coping or hiding his distress, we are best friends and pretty much tell each other everything, the only thing that concerns him is how shit the economy is rn.

Maybe if you're not completely socially isolated. I'm a 34 year old virgin but I also have no friends. I own a house and make 6 figures. All I do is work and sleep. It's miserable but it's all I know how to do

I was unhappy in my relationship for a long time. And I was very unhappy for a while after breaking up. I'm getting better, but I still wouldn't say I'm happy. It's definitely better than how things were though.

That depends on you. Everyone has the same basic set of human faculties, but in varying proportion. If you can be alone, great. If you can't, you can't. You have to know and be honest with yourself.

Yeah it's possible but you'll require a network of people to compensate for the lack of a life partner. Humans are wired to be social, even introverts and hermits still have that need hardwired into them. So if you remain single, you at least should have some connections elsewhere.
