To make themselves feel better and see others misserable too. That's the way they don't feel like they are the only ones that feel that way

Misery loves company. People sometimes like to make the outside world look like their inner world. If they are in pain, the bring it to life in their surroundings. It's sad that they can't see how much more good it does to share love.

Because they want the victim to feel the same way they do. Or by them inflicting pain on others makes them feel powerful and better about themselves

These people have poor emotion management. They hold maladaptive beliefs such as believing that by seeing others suffer and be in pain, it would help to make them feel less alone - this is incorrect and only leads to a continuing cycle of sadness/anger.

Sometimes when someone is going through a lot, that can make them feel upset and angry. This could lead them to lash out on others or sometimes themselves. If you know someone who seems easily irritable or tactless, it could just be their way of letting out their emotions.

Because they want others to feel the same way they do . They don't want to be on their own. They feel vulnerable on their own

Sometimes people don't know how to react to their own pain. So the easiest way around that is inflicting it on other people.

I guess to just try and make others feel what they need to go through. Or make it so someone else is in pain with them so they aren't lonely.
