  • Any psychologists on here

    Does laughing at other people's misfortune make me a bad person.
    When I head about a premier league footballer being robbed of his £25000 Rolex whilst driving around in south east London this morning I nearly pi$$ed myself.
    The last time I laughed like that was when Kim kardashian got done over.
    I'm starting to worry about my behaviour now so any help would be appreciated.

    It's called schadenfreude mate, part of human nature. Entirely natural!

      Well I wouldn't say ALL humans commonly experience schadenfreude.

      It's certainly understandable in the OP's example though!

        Most slapstick is based on schadenfreude Stan.

          Thanks guys, its good to know I can carry on with my guilty pleasure.
          Mind you, if Joey Barton should unfortunately get his face re-arranged in a nightclub brawl I might just end up sh!tting myself with laughter, then I will have a problem.

            In comedy, of course. Woody Allen was hilarious and a genius with it.

              Thinking of this scenario, I am really surprised.he hasn't already. Perhaps be doesn't get as angry off the pitch.

                Never been overly into it.far too akin with jealousy which I see as sips of poison. Did half enjoy topping the wives dad up with an explanation of it all though when we was chatting a few weeks back.

                  My wife who is a psychologist, said it is a fairly normal feeling. Whether it is a good side of humanity is another chat altogether. I do it about others though. Not always in a mean or harsh way sometimes just laughing about adversity. Sometimes I am pleased bad people or people who probably arent doing all they can for society like Ibe and most footballers have bad times.

                          Woody Allen is also a peado so maybe not the best person to use as an example if we are arguing this to be normal behavior!

                            It's happening again chaps. Just heard the awful news that Kanye West has been rushed to hospital handcuffed to a stretcher after losing the plot. #pray for Kanye all over twitter spparenly.
                            All I could do was pmsl again.
