My ex-husband went for 'the snip' after he and his new partner had a baby together.
It went wrong and he suffered very painfully. I enjoyed every moment of it |

Yes.
It's a weak way to think but it crosses my mind.
Thoughts like "if I was a medevil king what would I do to that horrible person"
It's a weak mentality but I recognise I get those thoughts. |

Schadenfreude...pleasure derived from another's misfortune
We all do it.
We all watched you been framed and laughed, all seen those idiots on Facebook who get hurt either accidentally or on purpose |

I'd not say pleasure or joy, but there is some satisfaction in seeing somebody getting their karma reward for their shitty actions.
Example; Some nob around this way terrorising people through verbal abuse and intimidation, among other things.
The prick was being reckless on his scrambler bike when he crashed causing great injury to himself. |

No. I've never disliked anyone enough to take pleasure in their pain. I tend to be a little sensitive, so feel pity, even for those i may not be keen on.

"No. Sersiously. To gain a good feeling from another being hurt is pretty psycopathic. "
My ex abused me for years. I came close to death a few times. I openly admit I took comfort from hearing he had got gobby with the wrong group of people and had taken a kicking, his son had disowned him for being such a bully and generally nasty human and hearing that he was miserable as sin. I felt a sense of hope that things do get returned to you, and that just maybe I had some good shit heading my way. I don't think that makes me psychopathic, more a case of trying to make sense of the world when things can seem dire.
Now I feel nothing towards him, however I can get frustrated that his actions did more damage to me than I ever realised.

I recognise schadenfreude in my own feelings.
They are ,however, reserved for simple things like burglars being caught, careless dog owners standing in their own pet's shit, or bad landlords losing a license etc....
poetic justice......
I haven't ever relished someone I know and even dislike being physically or mentally hurt. |

I'd feel the same more than likely. Thanks for opening up the discussion cos generally when someone first asks a Q - I put my immediate feelings. I think i'd wonder about how he felt and if it would change his behaviour. I'd even think - about time you got it back and im not sorry but I don't think I'd feel good about it. You yourself said 'took comfort' which is not the same as being joyful really. |

Like the one where the fat Australian kid powerbombs his bully?
I kinda like watching underdogs stand up for themselves and win.
I like the ones where arse holes attack/intimidate people in the street then meet a humiliating painfull fate.
(Even though I am insecure about people feeling that way about me) |

Nah, I wasn't joyful, it didn't make me smile or anything like that, more a sense of inner peace to a certain degree, however I can't deny I was glad/relieved in a way to hear about it as it definitely helped with closure even though I'm still uncovering damage here and there I had no idea was there.

I don't feel that way about burglars.
When my things were taken and my life was destroyed and I knew who did it..
I think I can feel a slight sence of "empathy" for other people going through that situation.
I wouldn't want a simmilar person going into a random house while someone's kid is sleeping etc...
I think it's "home invasion"
....I think the law in UK should be more American.
Severe punishment and the right to shoot to kill any burglars
I feel it's basic right of a free man/woman to defend himself and loved ones from terror. |

It dependands. I wouldn't take joy in anyone being seriously injured, ill or in financial difficulty. I do have to admit taking joy in seeing negative people with destructive narcissism being caught out in lies publicly, or having their card marked /calmly taken down a peg. The satisfaction is rightly short lived, but the potential longer-term positive is that having their mask publicly removed often makes them less distructive and manipulative for a while afterwards...not because they have remorse, but because they fear being permanently exposed as being false. |

Rather contradictory to say you empathise with those who need to take your belongings yet you want us to have the right to shoot them. |

Yes, a boy bullying my daughter, school did nothing. I wanted to beat the shit out if him but obviously couldn't.
Eventually he picked on the wrong kid, broken nose and jaw, deserved it the little shit, I took much pleasure in that. |

Yes. Not for a long time now, since ive matured a little.
Now I go to strange lengths to avoid causing any pain and hate to see anyone else suffering. As anyone who spends time private messaging me will usually find out and can attest to. Oddly enough, even if they've brought it on themselves I still feel sad for them, it's a whole different kind of low if you feel genuinely remorseful for your own actions, deliberate ar otherwise.
You can be honest and forthright without hurting peoples feelings or being rude, offensive and insulting. Just have to think about what you say, before saying it. |

A sense of grim satisfaction maybe, but never joy or pleasure. I don't understand how I could take pleasure in someone's misfortune without also feeling crap about myself. |

"No I wouldn’t wish pain on anyone, even those from my past.
Need to let it go or else it eats you up
Karma is best served naturally but I definitely don’t take pleasure from it "
When I was younger, yes. Now I'm similar to GK; I dislike others being upset or in pain, regardless of previous actions generally. I'd never go so far as to say I take pleasure from it. |

I was discussing an offer with a couple selling their house, they told me what they were looking for so I put in an offer through solicitor then they told everyone what my offer was so people put in higher offers but I refused to increase mine so didn’t get the house.
I didn’t wish them harm but I hoped their boiler in their new house broke and it would cost them the extra cash they got by telling everyone my offer  |

Feeling joy at someone else’s pain or suffering is actually a very negative thing, and the only person it hurts is the person feeling it.
That’s really bad for you. Emotions like this need to be let go.... |

No but iv often fantisised about someone who has really hurt me to have something bad happen to them, but in reality I actually wouldn't want them to seriously suffer. Maybe stub a toe or something though. |

That's not what I said.
I said the opposite.
The victims almost make me feel "empathy" and I support the victims.
I don't feel alot of empathy.
I feel zero empathy for burglars.
I am very moral person.
I don't feel alot of empathy.
I feel bits of empathy for people who were victims of evil people. |

To those saying they dont understand how anyone could, I'll expand on the above.
He bullied her for nearly 18 months before eventually being excluded. This along with my daughter's autism and other issues led to her making several attempts to take her own life, eventually being sectioned for 6 months. 6 years later she has still not recovered and can't lead a normal life.
I will continue to take pleasure in any pain that cunt suffers for the rest of his life.
Last I heard 6 months ago he was dealing drugs, got stabbed several times in a deal gone wrong, that bought me much joy, he deserves it |

I didn't really have any one person in mind. Thankfully these kinds of people are in the minority. One woman comes to mind now. She told spread unfounded lies about her brother-in-laws family, while simultaneously pretending to be their friend. She tried to manipulate the wrong woman to spread these rumours, and that lady told one of the family in question, who in turn calmly confronted her at a gathering I was at. She was caught bang to rights as the hairdresser she told was their also. The narc fained illness for a while after that and eventually gained sympathy and forgiveness from her sister and brother. Unfortunately I've heard recently that the narc has returned to manipulation that couple, her sister and b-in,law. |
