(Expressed another way, to love to hate is not a form of love.) It is more precisely correct to say that some people enjoy a momentary feeling of power and/or importance by making other people unhappy. Many psychologists working to help such folks move promptly to the issues of impotence, powerlessness and low self-esteem which underpin this sort of behaviour, rather than dwelling on the behaviour itself.

Whenever somebody is feeling particularly happy, she always manages to say something seemingly benign that is hurtful. It'll be a little comment, that looks like a compliment, but isn't, like, "How nice that you can still pull off that hemline even if it is really out of fashion." She looks really confident, but when you really get to know her, you find that she has really low self-esteem.
