I feel the same way too actually. But have you ever felt like sometimes, you just want to save everyone from their suffering, so in a sense, you can save yourself the burden of filling yourself up in their shoes?

There's the golden rule we learn as kids; treat others the way you want to be treated. If everyone is trying to ensure everyone else's happiness, then everyone will become somewhat dysfunctional, seeking to fill up things onto others as if trying to deflect something they think the other person lack, which might not be the case. I feel like whatever anyone says, it comes directly from how they view themselves. So in a sense, an opinion really is a way of see why people have problems with things. What they hate, it shows they don't understand it, and what we understand, we try to work around it for other people's comfort. In a sense, no one is really true to themselves at all times.

You kind of have to break the golden rule to absolutely be happy, because in a sense, you're going to love yourself more, and your love for yourself might cause harm to others, and you might not see it because you're perfectly happy seeing it happen whilst the other person is in severe discomfort. I think that's why sadistic or masochists seek out these things, because in a sense, it's almost like an addiction. But then again, they become momentarily happiness, because we have ot seek out more of it again once the moment passes by, so it does work like an addiction.

So I guess, it's all about taking life as it is, the happy and the sad, the good and the bad without overthinking it. Then in a sense, you can treat others nicely, because you've acknowledge their suffering, but you aren't as affected by it to let it destroy your inner happiness either.
