Alright, I'll enlighten you. Also, am I really that sadistic? I mean if anything I'm more masochistic with some sadistic tendencies, but whatever.
You see, normally the "weak and pathetic" would be seen as masochists. While this is sometimes true, a lot of the time these kinds of people actually have repressed urges to inflict pain or suffering on others in order to stimulate themselves and/or make themselves feel better.
Despite sadism and masochism appearing to be complete opposites on the surface, the fact is there's actually a very narrow line separating the two. For this reason somebody who is a masochist might occasionally enjoy dominating others, and someone sadistic will sometimes take pleasure out of being abused or humiliated.
The reason for this is the brain linking the "need to atone for one's mistakes" with the "need to assert dominance or control" over others. A person who enjoys being abused will tend to see it as befitting of them, perhaps to atone for past mistakes or the feeling they need to make something up to someone (or occasionally, themselves). Others derive sexual pleasure or stimulation from it. On the other hand, those who enjoy being in the dominant position often feel a need to assert themselves over others perhaps to make up for the fact that they, themselves, are often forced to play the submissive roll in their day-to-day life. To make themselves feel stronger than they actually are, they might enjoy being in a position of power over other people for self-gratification or sexual pleasure.
In conclusion, someone sadistic may also share many masochistic traits, while someone masochistic may also share many sadistic traits. Masochists may be strong people who want to experience what they consider the "pleasurable" experience of being in a submissive position, while sadists may be apparently weak people (either physically or emotionally) who enjoy experiencing brief moments of dominance or control.
