You "enjoy" suffering because the predictable suffering you undergo is SAFE because of its very predictability.
Or look at it this way, the suffering is part of the games you were taught as a child.
Read "Games People Play" by Eric Berne, MD. The games that you LAUGH AT are the ones you have been taught to play. Believe me.

Did I just see someone suggest that you are possessed ?
I 'll just pretend I did not see that and give you my honest opinion.
Only you possess the true answer. What kind of people do you enjoy see in pain ? What kind of pain, emotional - physical ?
How exactly in pain... bleeding, crying ?
It could be plain jealousy.
It could be some slowly growing schizophrenia.
If you feel that this "urge" is growing stronger and stronger, maybe you should start considering... a visit to an expert (some sort of psychologist).
Receiving pleasure from the pain of others is not natural....
If you are kind enough to give us more info, we would highly appreciate it.
(PS. what's wrong with people here ? All go like, "Please help I want to kill someone", without saying why, or who, or at least giving some basic information... We are not mediums you know!!! )

You don't enjoy suffering...You just think you like suffering.
Think about the good in the world
It is my guess that you may be possessed by a demonic spirit. The only way you can protect yourself from it is to read the Bible and believe that Jesus died for your sins, that he is the son of God.
Real suffering is ones should burning in hell for eternity, which is where Satan is going to go in the end, and he wants to bring as many human souls with him before that happens. He uses demons to assist him because he is not like God, (Omnipresent)

Thats a natural response to seeing people being not happy but-
UNGRATEFUL
Im sure you dont mind people being happy and you just get mad about them taking everything for granted and even feel like they deserve to be happy.
Those people need to get a lesson at times!
So you arent really enjoying their suffering but them getting the message :)

It's not that you're enjoying their pain. From what I make out of what you're saying, you're enjoying the fact that they can make the best of things and even be happy against all odds.
Good luck saving the world. I appreciate that. It helps me feel better that your hopes are hight.

probably because they seem so perfect at that time when they seem so happy, it's nice to see that they're human and suffer too, or maybe you (subconciously or otherwise) think that it's not fair that they get to have so much happiness or it makes you yearn for what you dont have, and thus hate them for it, and enjoy seeing them suffer, it somehow brings them down to your level, or a level that you can handle people on. Just ideas. :)

nothing wrong with that. sometimes i think i have issues taking peoples pain for plesure or passion. It;s a bit weird. I've always been that way.
But I want to travel to poor contries too like africa, cambodia, mid east adn in south america..It kinda makes me feel good about myself.
