Fifteen surefire ways to be miserable

Worry incessantly about things you can do nothing about.

Go over stuff in your mind again and again, making yourself more and more upset.

Be too busy to be happy

Take everything personally

When something goes wrong, believe that everything in your whole life is worthless

Convince yourself that there’s nothing you can do so there’s no point in even trying

Be a pessimist, but tell people that you’re only being realistic

Convert others to your negative point of view

Remind yourself that you’re a failure, and always will be

Constantly compare yourself unfavourably with others

Be suspicious; never trust anyone

See the worst in others

Never be satisfied with what you or anyone else achieves

Don’t let anyone get close to you

Never take responsibility - it’s always somebody else’s fault
