It can be a form of empathy and simultaneously “glad it isn’t me” that forms the funny. Your brain registers that it’s shitty, but you’re not the one going through it. It’s also highly dependent on severity and circumstances. I’ve laughed me ass off at someone and then apologized profusely when I realized they’re genuinely hurt
