Are you saying that you think people who want relief from their own pain are people who have reduced empathy toward others?

It might be that just being in pain yourself can lower your empathy. For example your body could raise pain threshold a bit so it's easier for you to suffer your pain which could cause empathetic pain not to register at all.
