Life would have been very different with fewer misery makers that we ourselves invent or create. Here are some of the common ones:
“Others make me miserable.”
No one can make you miserable. You create your own feelings. Hold yourself responsible for your feelings and decisions.
“If I do anything, I must do it perfectly or not at all.”
Impossible to be perfect all the time. Do you unnecessarily worry about your performance? Do you sacrifice fun getting stressed about your goals? Perfection is a worthy goal but do not kick yourself for not arriving there. Perfection tendencies carried to the extreme can make you seem like a failure.

The man was tied to an electric pole and stoned to death for attacking a young woman, who was a Maratha. The people who attacked and killed him were also apparently Marathas.
City colleges are doing their best to help stressed students with bang-on online counselling
Ma’am… I need your help. It’s personal. I don’t know what to do. That is why I am writing to you. The problem is I have been having constant headaches for one year but doctors say I am perfectly fine. Can you help?”
It may not sound like an unusual problem to us, but city colleges are donning the role of agony aunts to counsel their students, providing guidance through online and one-on-one counselling.
