No...I guess it's not the most comforting thought, huh? Other people suffering like you do. But at least you have someone who...understands? I guess?

[He's pretty sure it would only be a complete sociopath who really took comfort in other people's suffering- at least without feeling bad about it. ]

Easier said than done, but it is possible. My advice is to take it a step at a time, try not to charge right into something. Every time I've done that, it's ended up a mess.
