12 Ways to Let People Make You Miserable.
Mahatma das: The Gita says we can be expert at making ourselves miserable. Here are some ways we do this in relation to people. We:
1. Hate someone
2. Resent someone
3. Become angry with someone
4. Become envious of someone
5. Become jealous of someone
6. Criticize someone
7. Constantly complain about someone.
8. Expect someone to do something they can’t
9. Argue with someone who will never admit they are wrong
10. Try to change or control someone we can’t (or who doesn’t want us to)
11. Try to make someone unhappy or make their life miserable
12. Dwell on one or more of the above “someones.”
If this “someone” is a close friend, family member or spouse, the misery multiplies many times over.
