I enjoy when people close to me die.

I bet he's not. I'm like that myself and I know a bunch of people who think the same. I'll try to explain why this happens. Your life has no joy, so you're constantly dying from boredom. Some things do bring joy to you, but those things usually don't occur frequently from your perspective. That's how you get attached to them. Death is one of those things. People die not that often and everyone becomes agitated when that happens. Everyone including you. Like, you know, those times from your childhood when everyone was anticipating Christmas. You anticipate death in the same manner because ironically death of someone makes you feel alive. It's like one of those cures for your boredom. And that's how your brain starts associating death with something good, it develops a Pavlov's reaction to death.
