Here's another list from the same site: Affirmations for Unhappiness. Take each affirmation on its own merits. Some will make you unhappier than others I think.
This is a pretty long list, but feel free to contribute anything you feel is missing.

As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath.
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
Having control over myself is almost as good as having control over others.
My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of self-judgment.
I honor my personality flaws for without them I would have no personality at all.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain.
As I learn the innermost secrets of people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet.
The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things.
I am at one with my duality.
Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots.
Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears.
I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws.
Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so!"
False hope is better than no hope at all.
A good scapegoat is almost as good as a solution.
Who can I blame for my problems? Just give me a minute.... I'll find someone.
The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character defects leads me naturally to the next step of blaming my parents or children.
To have a successful relationship, I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.
Before I criticize someone, I walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if they get angry, they're a mile away and barefoot.
Why does all this sound sooo familiar.. really seems to fit der vey mold or mindset. I think you (they) missed one: "If you cannot be happy, make for damn sure nobody else around can be happy either."

How to be Unhappy .........
1.) Accept what a total stranger tells you is wrong with your life;
2.) Sign the little green card they proffer;
3.) Sit through countless hours of "teaching";
4.) Give all your hard earned cash away, so you don't get "spit" upon;
5.) Watch your hard earned cash being wasted in the most frivolous of ways;
6.) Sign up for a program that should have been called
S.L.A.P.(Slave Labor Abundance Program) instead of;
C.O.R.P.S. (Controlling Our Replaceable People Systematically);
7.) Start reading post #1, and post #2 -- and realize this comprises a lot of the "teaching" you received in S.L.A.P.,
While watching your cash being spent,
That you gave to avoid being "spit on,
After sitting through countless hours of "teaching",
After you signed a little green card,
Handed to you by a total stranger.
Who told you you were unhappy then.

These appear to be things NOT to do, if you want to be unhappy. They are from brainplace.com, which came up on another thread. What are the penguins?
