In reference to that reblog earlier...why would that person laugh at other people's misery? Why? This is really messing with my head and I know it shouldn't but it is. I've met so many crazy sadistic assholes who have harmed me in my life for fucking sport, and it's just unnerving to here people go like "lol misery". I know there's dark humor and slapstick but didn't they say it's real people?! I think I'm overreacting. Would they laugh at me now. Fuck me. I'm literally just a joke now o my god.
