There are people for whom the problems of friends, acquaintances and even relatives cause not a very good feeling - gloating. Yes, they are ashamed to admit this to themselves, but from the fact that someone has left the family or is sitting without a penny, they feel real pleasure. How to stop gloating in those moments when others find themselves in difficult life situations?
Gloating can hardly be considered the best source of worldly joys. It is better to get rid of this feeling. Of course, it will not work right away, you have to work on yourself for some time, but this will only be beneficial.
First, you should try to expand your circle of acquaintances, trying to communicate more with completely opposite people. Differences can cause dislike and rejection, but this is only at the very beginning. Later, they will be replaced by understanding, and maybe even sympathy. Such contacts help a person develop the ability to see the world with different eyes, provide an opportunity and experience of conscious empathy. Psychologists call this empathy.
Classical literature can also help change for the better. It is enough just to get a list of the most outstanding works and find time to "get acquainted" with them. It should be understood that mystical and adventure pop music will not be useful.
We are talking about true literary classics: Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Chekhov, Shakespeare, Wilde, Dickens. Active communication, supported by the right books, will give the desired result in a year and a half. With the emergence of interest in other people, the gloating will gradually recede.
