FEEL BAD FOR (superlative form)??? / FOR or ON

Is "feel worst" correct? and the supperlative form of "feel bad for"?

1 I feel bad for her, but I feel the worst for him.

How would you properly express this? How would you say the following naturally?

2 I'm not going to make things more difficult for me/make thing harder on me. I'm trying to make things easier on/for me. Instead of going back and forth 10 times, I'll do it in 2 trips by caring more.

Thank you
