Prescription for Unhappiness

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Make little things bother you; don\\u2019t just let them, make them!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Be a perfectionist: and condemn yourself and others for not achieving perfection!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Be right, always right, perfectly right all the time, the only one who is right\\xa0
and be rigid about your rightness!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Always compare yourself unfavorably to others, which is the guarantee\\xa0
of instant misery!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Don\\u2019t trust or believe people, or accept them at anything but their worst and
\\xa0weakest. Be suspicious and impute ulterior motives to them!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Take personally, with a chip on your shoulder, everything that happens to you\\xa0
that you don\\u2019t like!

\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Don\\u2019t give yourself wholeheartedly or enthusiastically to anyone or thing!
