How to Have a Miserable Life

There are people in this world that, for whatever their reasons, seem determined to have a miserable life. Those who take this wish to an extreme even hope to have a long miserable life.

This begs the question that if they find pleasure in being miserable are they then really miserable since they experience pleasure? The answer to this question is outside of my range of expertise as I prefer to be as happy as I can possibly be and still not be considered as the always happy, no matter what, village idiot.

We will let the Psychologists deal with the misery may bring pleasure and therefore is happiness issue while we list and comment on ten sure fire ways to guarantee yourself to have a miserable life.

1. Renounce your family contacts. Those who completely divorce themselves from all family connections, even when their families are complete rascals and worst, stand a very good chance of leading a life of misery. The misery will probably increase by a factor of ten around important holidays , like Christmas and New Years.

2. Be sure to have no friends. If you want to be especially miserable stay by yourself just about all of the time. Reject all signs and efforts of friendship. Who needs those miserable people anyhow? Just do everything by yourself and be miserable doing it.

3. Work at a job that you hate. Going to work each day to a job that you hate really sucks. Over a lifetime of doing this you are sure to become ever more miserable.

4. Stop eating the food that you enjoy. While no doubt that obesity is a growing problem and can be dangerous to your health starving yourself so that you eventually look like a walking skeleton is an excellent way to add to your misery. The question is whether you want to live to a happier average old age or wish to enjoy misery so much you want to be super thin, yet healthy from your trend setting diet, and extend your misery another few years.

5. Be unforgiving to others. This is probably one of the best ways to insure that you remain forever miserable. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. When you never forgive those mistakes an almost magical process takes place. You become more miserable the more that you refuse to forgive. Try it, it works.

6. Be unforgiving of your own mistakes and stupid acts. Hey, it is pretty easy to carry a grudge against yourself as you can constantly remind yourself as to how stupid you are without chasing yourself down. Never forgive all of the dumb and evil things that you do and you will not escape being miserable.

7. Become frequently angry and stay angry for long periods of time. Being angry can be a good thing if you find yourself in a life threatening situation. Your adrenaline level increases with anger and increases your strength. This may be good for emergency situations but being angry most of the time will keep you far away from happiness and no doubt add to your misery.

8. Never smile. When you smile a lot, I mean a genuine smile, not a model gliding down a catwalk one, you will feel happiness. Watch out for this. If you want to be miserable you must at all costs avoid smiling even when you are amused.

9. Never help others. To be as miserable of a person as you will find anywhere on the face of this earth be extremely selfish. Take all that you can for yourself. Make a lot of money and never share with those who are less fortunate. Take the first and last piece of cake and leave someone less greedy without. Never volunteer your time no matter how worthy the cause. If you never consider the needs of others you will lead an exsistance of deserved misery until your well deserved death day. And maybe beyond.

10. Write a blog that no one reads. Talk about misery. Only a dedicated blogger can understand just how miserable this can make one feel. To obtain even more misery write additional non read blogs. There is really no limit as to how miserable you can become as a blogger writing only for yourself.

Perhaps you can think of other ways as to how to have a miserable life. If so please feel free to comment.
