sympathy anger

when a friend or acquaintance's anger rubs off on you and you become angry about the same thing

Me: I hated T.Swift when she played country music. It made me viscerally upset. She was so annoying.
Friend: Ugh I know! Every time I changed the radio station her country song was on in a different phase. I couldn't escape it. It was terrible. God, I'm pissed about it all over again!
Me: Bro, you have mad sympathy anger right now.

Sympathy therapy

Verbally expressing sympathy in an exaggerated way in order to make the sufferer laugh but also realize that whining doesn’t help.

I’m SO sorry you’re going through this! NO one understands the pain you’re in and the obstacles you face! You seriously have it worse right now than anyone else in the world! Is this sympathy therapy working yet?
