If Schadenfreude is the act of deriving joy and laughter from the misery and suffering of others; then Self-Schaudenfreude is the act of laughing at others experiencing your pain; This may seem like an oxymoron; but many a Twitch streamer use this as a template for getting their streams starting; It is, after all, an unfiltered Stream of Consciousness, and not a filtered "Broadcast", A good example is Vinny Vinesauce, Joel Vargskelethor, DesertPogona, and many more. Self-depreciating humor is a requirement.
