How to Make Yourself Miserable

How to Make Yourself Miserable is a darkly comic self-help guide presented by a young woman’s personified Toxic Mind, offering step-by-step instructions on how to destroy her own happiness — all in the name of love. As she follows the advice into obsession, self-erasure, and heartbreak, the film exposes how internalized misogyny and romantic fantasy masquerade as self-improvement, until she finally turns the script back on the voice that’s been controlling her.
