As soon as Kyle started talking, everyone was filled with autoschadenfreude.

autoshadenfreude 

1. Pleasure derived from one's own misfortune.
ex1. Man, your girlfriend dumped you over a year ago! You really have to stop all that autoshadenfreude and get back in the game.

ex2. So you got a B- on that calculus midterm? Quit your autoshadenfreude and work harder next time.

ex3. Stop listing all the negative personality traits of your tennis partner. Just because she doesn't want to date you, doesn't me you have to envelop yourself in autoschadenfreude.
