How to Ensure a Lifetime of Unhappiness in 9 Simple Steps
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Your Happiness
Are you truly content? Do you wake up each day with enthusiasm? Are you surrounded by supportive individuals? If you find yourself answering yes to any of these, then this guide is just for you. Below are nine methods to effectively sabotage your happiness.
Step 1: Avoid Pursuing Your Aspirations
In life, it’s not feasible to chase every whimsical notion that crosses your mind. So, simply refrain from pursuing any of them. Worry incessantly about choosing the wrong path. This way, two decades down the line, when nothing has changed in your life, you can be sure it’s because you never took any risks.
Step 2: Steer Clear of Risks
The agony of regret far surpasses the discomfort of trying. We certainly don’t want you to accidentally find success. Can you imagine trying something and it actually working out? What a disaster that would be!
Step 3: Lack of Persistence
If you decide to chase your dreams, make sure to juggle all of them simultaneously. Don't invest much time in any one pursuit. Quit at the first sign of difficulty. The thought of becoming proficient in something? Unthinkable! To ensure misery, constantly question your passions instead of nurturing one.
Section 1.1: Embrace Comparison
Always measure yourself against others. Seriously, compare yourself with everyone you know—or even those you don’t. Be perpetually envious of others’ accomplishments. Feel inadequate when someone else succeeds, even if it has no bearing on your life.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Consumer Mindset
Step 4: Be a Consumer, Not a Creator
Instead of producing, focus on consuming. Spend endless hours on social media without contributing anything. Scroll through Instagram, feeling increasingly inferior as you observe how much more fulfilling others’ lives appear. Avoid writing, sharing, or creating anything of significance.
Step 5: Neglect Your Health
Indulge in unhealthy foods, stay up late, and embrace a state of constant fatigue. This will make following the other steps much simpler. And definitely skip exercising; burning calories is a waste! Hoard those calories by being sedentary and binge-watching shows.
Step 6: Stay Indoors
Remain inside where it's convenient to watch TV. Venturing outdoors risks exposure to fresh air and sunlight—both notorious for causing sunburns. You might even inadvertently exercise if you step outside. No, thank you! Repeat step 2: avoid any risks.
Step 7: Shun Social Interaction
What else is outside? People. Yuck. Don't reach out to former friends or engage with your current ones. Make no effort to forge new connections. Embrace your inner hermit, as solitude is the way to go.
Step 8: Resist New Experiences
If you find yourself learning something new, stop immediately and seek help. Personal growth is overrated. Let's keep things stagnant; stepping outside your comfort zone is unnecessary. After all, why would anyone want to experience discomfort?
Step 9: The Path to Stagnation
To completely derail any positive momentum in your life, adhere to these simple steps. They will inevitably leave you feeling trapped, destroy your relationships, and diminish your self-esteem.

The first video, "7 Ways to Maximize Misery," offers humorous yet poignant insights into how to cultivate unhappiness.
The second video, "How to be Miserable for the Rest of Your Life," provides further elaboration on the steps to ensure a life devoid of joy.
In conclusion, if you're seeking to undermine any positive progress in your life, simply follow these guidelines. They are guaranteed to ensnare you in a cycle of discontent.
