Why would someone who is already in pain wish to inflict it upon others?

Yes, it is an indeed interesting proposition, if one has suffered then why would someone like to replicate it to others? I guess the difference in action lies in how the person who experienced misfortunes processes them? One of the people who was cheated would consider it as a social problem and might try to solve the issue by spreading knowledge among other fellows while the other one having the same experiences could process it differently to become a cheat himself, professing the world is evil and hence it deserves so. Lack of empathy often stems from the lack of experience of love and compassion during one's younger years.

It’s hard to feel like you’re the only one going through and feeling what you’re feeling. Often times we try to bring people to our level, and in a case like this, the thought could be “the more misery and pain, the better”. We may want to blame others for our hurt, and may want them to feel the suffering we believe they have caused. Understanding it’s not about anyone else, finding support from those who truly want happiness for you is a great place to start. Your suffering because you are allowing yourself to suffer. You have to want to change your thoughts and feelings, and learn new ways to do that, to help you see things differently. 7Cups, like so many other organizations is a good place to help you sort through those feelings, helping you to learn the basis of your hurt and how it’s brought you to such thoughts. You are never alone, even though at times it feels so lonely. There are always people who care and genuinely want the best for you and your life

Hurt people hurt people. so if someone is in pain and hurt they might want someone else to feel as they do. in most cases, that's not okay. it's important that you heal yourself first so you don't have those negative thoughts anymore. it will be hard but it's a learning experience. once you figure out your issue and fix it everything will work out. it's best to take time to yourself and don't allow just anyone in your space if you feel like causing pain to others because you are in pain yourself, take that time and find ways to heal and become the best you.

Sometimes people in pain inflict it on others as 1) its what they know and experience so are inflicting pain as they have no other response, 2) they are not meaning to inflict it. Some people inflict pain without the realisation they are doing it, so its hard for them to stop their behaviour if they are unaware. 3) They want other people to feel there pain - some people want other people to feel pain so they can try and understand how they are feeling and making them feel pain the person may see as the best way of doing it.

There are some people in this world who want others to hurt just as badly as they do. It's unfortunate that they've come to this point but it's usually because they've been quite bitter for a long time. Have you considered the importance of your relationship with this person? Is there anything you can do to take care of yourself, especially if the relationship is important to you? Sometimes it's better to take care of ourselves because we're not going to be able to change the person. The only thing we can change in this world is ourselves and how we handle situations.

Someone who is already in pain may wish for others to feel their pain to make them understand. If someone was beaten up as a child they may also beat up their children because they may not know another way to approach the problem. If someone has been in pain for a little bit now they may be mind-controlled in a way to make them beat up others. Some people who are bullied may target others like him because he was bulied. that is why someone in pain may hurt others.

I believe that someone who is already in pain is blinded by their own emotions and so unable to understand or feel for others. Their minds are so cluttered with negativity that they believe they are the only ones who suffer from sorrow in their lives. They believe they are alone and have no one to help them. Because they believe no one is looking out for them, they may develop feelings of envy and hatred against others. They begin to believe that life is unjust and that they should not be the only ones who are suffering leading to strong feelings of inflicting pain on others.

Someone who is already in pain might wish to inflict it upon others because some feel that if they bring someone else down, it will bring them up. While this is often not the case, some will continue to hurt others in order to feel better about themselves. Some feel that if they hurt others in a way that they are not hurting, they are better because they are not feeling the same pain that person is. People usually want to feel like they are better than others, because of this they will do anything they can to bring themselves up. This is not the case for everyone, though.

This is a classic symptom of bullying. We feel in pain and hate being in this position, wish to hit out at something to express that pain. We also dislike ourselves and feel weak. Seeing someone else like us reminds us of what we are like. We see that pain and that weakness and want to hit out at it. If we can realise the pain we are feeling, and understand it, we can break the cycle. This is also a good way to deal with bullies - they are feeling pain and weak, and if we can understand that we can help them heal too.

Some people are just built like that. They believe that what they are going through is horrible and has ruined their life or they may feel angry at other for being able to live painlessly and thus want to make others feel that pain. Therefore by choosing to make other feel pain, they can feel joy or happiness or some kind of solace at knowing that they are not alone and others will suffer just like them. Or they might make others feel pain, so that they too can become just like them. If someone wishes to do this, to others, they should receive the help that they need.

Sometimes, people may want to get back at the world for the pain inflicted on them, or struggle to process their emotions in a healthy way, and their desire to inflict pain upon others could possibly be a coping mechanism. Maybe this person struggles with intrusive thoughts or desires, and does not know how to handle these thoughts or desires, and need help perhaps through therapy, apps like 7 cups, mindfulness activities or other activities which can increase a person’s mental well-being and health. Sometimes, they may want a reaction out of the person, due to loneliness. They should be supported.
