yeah, it is similar to schadenfreude, but not the same. I don't think they enjoy the watching the bad times, but they don't like watching the good times. Is there an opposite of schadenfreude? :D

Excellent question, @tarazkp - it got me thinking, so I totally had to go look it up, but apparently, there is! The opposite of schadenfreude is called fremdscham, where people are uncomfortable and even get embarrassed by other people's misfortunes...I think they have a word for everything now, lol!
