The guaranteed way to make yourself unhappy is to make yourself wrong for how you think, look or feel.
Frederick's Happiness Rule: To be happy, resist nothing. If you cannot stop yourself from resisting something, embrace your resistance. Accept you can do nothing about your resistance. Then focus your attention on what makes you happy and ALLOW yourself to be happy.
I'll bet that you didn't know that there is no individual or situation in your life that makes you unhappy, it is your resistance to a situation or the way a person is that makes you unhappy.
Happiness is not something you chase or pursue, it is something you allow. You ALLOW happiness by not resisting your unwanted thoughts and feelings. Instead, you allow those thoughts and feelings to harmlessly pass you by like clouds in the sky and they will.
If you mess with your unwanted thoughts and feelings, they will mess you up real good. However if you leave your unwanted thoughts and feelings alone, they will leave you alone.
It takes a bit of practice to allow unwanted thoughts and feelings to harmlessly pass you by. Be gentle with yourself while you practice. At some point in your practice of allowing unwanted thoughts and feelings to harmlessly pass you by, it will become an automatic habit of thought that you don't have to think twice about.
