There is, and it’s called freudenfreude. This is when you find joy in the success and happiness of others. (It’s an English word crea...

Maybe you’ve even said these things to others, unintentionally invalidating them. This is common if we're high-functioning codependents and other people's distress causes us distress. But even if your heart is in the right place, emotional inv...
