Non-sociopaths actually do derive happiness from the well-being of others though. I think that's likely what you're missing. This happiness from the well-being of others makes sense from an evolutionary perspective because not only individual survival traits are favoured, but communal ones as well. Although, the persistence of a small percentage of sociopaths also makes sense, as they are able to free ride to some extent on the good will of society. However, an instinctive negative reaction to such behaviour by more neurotypical people is also a survival trait, hence the negative reaction you're getting here!
