1. I enjoy myself in sharing others' happiness.
2. I enjoy myself sharing in others' happiness.
Both sentences seem correct to me.
Which one is correct? Please comment.

#1 seems structurally incorrect.

#2 is grammatically OK, but I find "enjoy myself" a bit odd in this context. To me it seems too frivolous and self-centred to fit with the rest of the sentence. It would be more usual to say "I enjoy sharing in others' happiness."
