Do you enjoy seeing someone you dislike suffer?

[size=12]In our Life's there are people who we just don't like, but not just "don't like" but actually hated them in the fullest possible. From personal issues (Bullies etc) to world issues (Terrorist, Corrupter etc) From someone you know or someone you don't know. And, sometimes....your own family member....O_O

You hated these people so much that you want them to suffer hell like what they did to you to make yourself hate them. Some take it fast like wishing quick death, some take it slowly and wants them to suffer.

No matter how innocent we are there is always that feeling.....

Which brought me my question....Have you had this feeling before? Why?[/h]

Once, when I was living with my stepdad's daughter. She was absolutely terrible, and it got to the point where every time she left the house I wished she wouldn't come back, regardless of the cause. Although I didn't necessarily want her to die, it seemed like the only way she would leave. Eventually she got kicked out of the house, and I haven't seen her much since then. I no longer wish anything bad would happen to her.

That's the only time I can recall ever thinking that way. There have been other times where I wished bad things on people, but never that severe. Only minor things.

we probably all do...at some point

as for me,

yes sometimes I do have that initial enjoyment seeing the people, (who have caused my misery,) suffer...even my family

for some reason if I'd hoped for something bad to happen to someone (especially if I was very emotional and badly hurt at that time)
I tend to curse and wish very bad things to happen to those people,


but after some time I feel guilty and I wish to take back the horrible thoughts and the things I have said

so now if someone angers me I just try to be patient or just be easy with life and try not to let my emotions get the best of me, before I regret the things that I say.

For a while I do enjoy watching those who I dislike suffer, but after a while, pity and guilt kicks in and I can't bear to watch it anymore. There was this one time last month when I finally got back at the idiot groupmate who messed up our assignment; at first I thought the idiot got what was coming to him, but after 5 minutes I stopped. I didn't really care whether he messed up my assignment or not by that point.

Honestly? No.

What I'd like is not to see a person I don't like at all. I get no enjoyment from people suffering. There are some people I despise, but I wouldn't want them to get run over by a truck or accidentally get AIDS or something.

I do, however, enjoy seeing people learn their lesson. I like _justice_. For example, a corrupt politician gets caught on video doing a shady deal, then people on the internet slam him, then he gets prosecuted and sent to prison. I wouldn't want his house to burn down (unless that house was part of the shady deal) or his family hurt, but I want him to receive the consequences of his actions. A rapist getting AIDS from his victim is fine with me, a rapist having a meteor fall on him, not so much.

I may dislike a person simply for their attitude or how the carry themselves but I honestly won't enjoy seeing that person in pain until they personally wrong me. For the simple fact even if I dislike you I may still respect you or something along those lines or you may just be a generally nice person whose views clash with my own, if I saw a person like that in pain I'd go out of my way to help them if I could.

Honestly? I'd like to try that out. I'd like to inflict immense pain on someone I hate to see if it gives me any satisfaction. I wouldn't want to kill, though, unless it is absolutely necessary, because I'd have to live with that for the rest of my life.

I would like to say no...but to be honest there are a few people who wouldn't mind having a stroke of bad luck. Not something severe, but perhaps just a annoyance.

With that said, it is very hard to actually get on my bad side...the few people i mentioned are people who have screwed me over in some way. So i don't exactly have a large list of enemies.

It doesn't even have to be someone i dislike. i enjoy seeing anyone suffer. it amuses me.

and before anyone tries to say i'm some kind of freak, think about how many of those home video shows and internet videos of people getting hurt are so popular. everyone enjoys seeing others fall. it makes us feel a little better about ourselves.

Depends on the "degree" of bad thing. If they trip-- I would snicker for sure, but there are things I would certainly never wish on someone no matter how they have wronged me.

Generally, yes. However, I would not ever wish death upon them. That would be far too kind compared to other things I can think of.

Depends on how much I resented them and what they did. An eye for an eye.

Yes and no. I don't want them to get some serious injury, but if they are going to suffer, I am going to be the cause of it. Usually I just want them to disappear from my life for maybe two or three days.

Now that I think of it, I don't really hate a specific person anymore. It's been awhile. I still hate groups of people based on their level of idiotic actions though. I suppose it's because I've stopped talking to people and only talk if I really have too.

If I dislike someone, I really don't care what happens to them. If something bad happens, I am either indifferent or slightly happy and just think of it as karmic retribution. I'm not gonna feel bad for them at all. If I hate someone, I do sincerely wish the worst for them, but it is very hard for me to actually hate people. It takes a lot for me to get to that point, and I can only think of one person in my life at the moment that I hate. I'm generally very forgiving. If I've been wronged somehow, all it takes in 99% of situations is an apology.

That depends on how much suffering. There was a kid in my middle school and high school classes who was a total arrogant jerk, and i love seeing him whenever he made a fool of him self or teachers caught him doing something, but i don't think i would enjoy if anything really bad happened to him.

Yes! I always think about avenging everyone who screwed my life. I almost killed someone before twice. I always carry a baseball bat and brass knuckles with me.

To hate means to also be hated. If I want them to suffer that means there's someone that wants me to suffer. Worrying about that hurts my head and it seemed troublesome so I just say "meh... I hope you die" then leave it at that. If the person is butthurt over me getting the last say in an argument then that's good enough for me.

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Yeah, I do. It's a rare sight that when I want to see someone I dislike to suffer, they really do suffer. Anyways, I've been into much deeper shit, and the people I want to see suffering the most are those who ridiculed me during these times when in fact they are the reason that I was in that bullshit (a.k.a. bullies).

I don't ever like seeing anyone suffer. I might be a little smug when life hands someone a karmic lesson.. especially if they've had their head up their ass for a while.. but genuine suffering, like from trauma or tragedy.. It hurts to watch on anyone -- friend or foe.
