Because when we are alone in our misery, we don't feel that someone can understand, and that it might last a life time.
But when there's someone else that's passing through the same, we know we can relate, and that we can pass it together.

You MUST be a Brit.......
Misery loves company because it wants misery .... not loneliness.
Misery is only fun when it's shared....
If you're alone in a darkened room, do you laugh or cry?? And who knows the difference???
Does the refridgerator light stay on with the door closed???

I believe that misery loves company because as humans, we all need some type of affection or companionship.

To paraphrase the "Piano Man",
We all share a drink called misery, and it's better than drinking alone.

What? "Misery" is a feeling, and it can't "love" anything. I'm thirteen and I just had the most logical answer to your question.

Schadenfreude, taking pleasure in others' misery.
My BFF and I in high school used to say, "Boresery loves company." You know how, if you're bored, it's better if you're not bored alone? ;~D
