according to a theory i once read its partly because you can let those feelings out by reading angsty stuff. you purge yourself of your negative emotions and feel lighter and better afterwards. angsty stuff also makes you feel better because you compare your circumstances with the angsty circumstances and feel thankful and positive because your situation is most likely better in comparison.
Istg I will never understand people who love to read angst (Including myself).
WHY DO WE LOVE TO READ STORIES WITH ANGST.
IT HURTS LIKE HELL. IT BRINGS US PAIN SO WHY.
