Sometimes, people who are in pain want others to feel what they feel. It's like they don't want to go through it alone.

I think a lot of people that are already in pain lash out because they feel this pain. It is a way to forget their own pain and hurt someone else.

It could be that they would like to feel like they're not alone in their suffering. So knowing that others experience it too may just make them feel better about themselves.

They have experienced pain enough to want others to experience what they have. They want others to feel the pain they felt through the experiences they have.

Some people have cruel intentions - that's unfortunately just how the world is. Some people get a kick out of seeing others in pain. Maybe this person just wants someone else to feel how they do because they feel they dont deserve it (which doesn't justify it).

Perhaps that person wants others to know the pain he’s going through, to feel understood. That person may also feel wronged and seeks justice by hurting others

This is like bully. Often times the bully is feeling pain and they don't have anyone to put it out on, so they see people who are easy to target, then they usually go for those people.

Someone in pain would want to inflict pain upon others because they want others to feel their pain and understand them.

Individuals who are in pain often times spread their pain. They want others to suffer the way they are suffering because sometimes in their mind if they have to suffer, others do too. It can make them angry or feel left out when they see happy individuals.
