Some time ago I came across this simple list (author unknown) of how to be perfectly miserable. Thought I'd share it - not that any of it pertains to any of us, of course ...
1. Think about yourself
2. Talk about yourself
3. Use the personal pronoun "I" as often as possible in your
conversation
4. Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others
5. Listen greedily to what people say about you
6. Insist on consideration and respect
7. Demand agreement with your own views on everything
8. Sulk if people are not grateful to you for favors shown them
9. Never forget a service you may have rendered
10. Expect to be appreciated
11. Be suspicious
12. Be sensitive to slights
13. Be jealous and envious
14. Never forget a criticism
15. Trust nobody but yourself
Can you think of anything to add?
