This is a confession I am very ashamed of, and wish it wasn't the case believe me, but something inside me takes pleasure hearing about things going badly for people, and I can get a bit depressed/envious when I hear about things going well for people. This relates to friends mostly, or acquaintances, maybe cousins a bit as well.
For example if someone gets the sack, or hates their job, or their relationships, and just generally if someone feels bad about their life in some way I feel better myself than if they had some good news to tell me about.
Another example is when someone falls off the wagon, for instance if they gave up smoking or drinking but has started doing it again, or if they were meditating everyday and doing yoga but hadn't done it for ages.
Or weight gain, that's another bit of news I don't mind hearing about.
On some occasions I do feel genuinely happy to hear the good news, and I much much prefer this! But much of the time my initial feeling is a sunken one.
I know I'm not going to win many friends on here admitting this, but that was unlikely anyway, just had to get it out there to see if anyone can relate at all, or if not, to see if I am actually evil! Or just sad. :question::question:
