Schadenfreude

[Metalhead]

I have recently found myself binge watching YouTube videos of Karens and sovereign citizens being arrested by the police who are not putting up with their lies. All because it makes my personal issues look not so bad in comparison.

I can no longer judge what other people enjoy watching if I am turning to this.

No harm. No foul. It pays to be aware of what can happen while in actual police custody.

That much is true...

I often watch the youtube interviews of a sociopathic criminal or the police bodycam footage of different calls.

I dont think there is anything wrong with it. There is a sense of intrigue. But also a sense of comfort. Knowing you are safe. Warm. That your current circumstances are okay. Psychologist have done studies (I wish I could find the papers that I read but I have no idea what source it was from) that it has been a proven source of comfort. It keeps us more informed, makes us feel safer. It is even proven to release oxytocin and dopamine among having other positive effect on our bodies.

If you are being hard on youself I wouldn't be. It is pretty normal.

The first time one of my friends explained sovereign citizens to me, I thought he was joking, lol

Most people enjoy seeing justice being served to unsympathetic excuses for human beings. I know I do because of my black and white thinking. Even if I'm also an unsympathetic excuse of a human being, I just suppress it most of the time.

It took me a very long time to embrace schadenfreude. lol
I rarely do so, but when it happens, I am comfortable with the knowledge that the person or ppl involved deserve it.
Being an angel is so god-darn boring.

It is definitely not a bad thing to indulge mildly into the suffering of others. Misery likes company after all.

Also, my mind immediately goes to this song seeing that word:

Which tells me I listen to this song way too much. lol
