I was discussing empathy with my friends, and one of them mentioned people who find humor in others' suffering. I want to know if there's a specific term for such a person. What do you call someone who laughs or takes pleasure in the pain of others?

The term is a 'sadist'. I used to panic thinking someone close to me had severe behavioral issues because of this, but often it is just a nervous laugh reaction to awkward situations. It is actually quite common and normal.

They are called sadists in psychological terms. If you are planning to consult a therapist for behavioral counseling regarding this, check government hospital OPDs where therapy is very affordable or even free.

This behavior is known as sadism. If someone is showing extreme lack of empathy or deriving pleasure from physical harm, it is highly recommended to get a professional psychiatric evaluation done for safety.

A person who enjoys others' pain is termed a sadist. Our family doctor at the clinic explained that persistent lack of empathy can sometimes be a clinical issue. You should consult a qualified psychologist to understand this clearly.
