If you’ve ever looked at someone and thought they must be ruled by Satan, you probably couldn’t be further from reality.
People are much more evil than we tend to think, and sometimes they are so good at what they do that it takes us years to realize how evil they are.
But this is not your fault. They are master manipulators. They take advantage of people’s every advantage to get their way, get the things they want, and leave people feeling lost and broken.
There are a lot of them, and maybe you interact with an evil person regularly but have just decided to label them as an idiot.
It turns out they may be much more than that.
Signs of an evil person
I think there are 20 signs that someone you know is an evil person or a toxic person. Verified:
1) They enjoy watching others suffer.
If they laugh or smile even a little at the thought or sight of someone suffering, it could mean trouble.
In general, we think that karma can be a funny thing, but when someone seems genuinely tickled by another person’s pain, they can be evil.
This reaction is known as schadenfreude.
According to Adrian Furnham, Ph.D. In Psychology Today, it is defined as “the exquisite joy and smug satisfaction resulting from the contemplation and enjoyment of the misfortune of others.”
No one should look down on someone’s pain to gain pleasure for themselves.
2) They need to control everything.
Villains need to get what they want, and they will do everything in their power to ensure that.
At every turn, they inject their opinions and actions into the situation to make sure it goes a certain way.
At first glance, people who appear to be control freaks appear to be anxious or people who “just” like things, but if you look closely, they are people who always get what they want and will wear any face to get it.
3) They manipulate everyone.
Like lying, evil people manipulate people and situations into bending to their will. They will cry to divert attention from you towards them.
They will make a fuss if they don’t get their way, and will feel guilty toward people for doing things for them.
It’s scary when villains go to great lengths to bend fate in their favor.
They’ll even like to bomb you to make you feel good, and then they’ll use that feeling to manipulate you.
If there are selfish people in your life who are trying to manipulate you, you simply have to learn how to stand up for yourself.
Because you have a choice in the matter.
4) They hide their true selves.
Do you lie a lot? Evil people do this because they don’t want you to see them as they are.
After all, who wants to admit that they’re evil?
Not many people take pride in this type of title. So they hide their true selves as much as possible, and this means falling for lies on many occasions.
5) They leave you with a strange feeling whenever you are around them.
If you feel exhausted and tired after being around a really bad person, you get a weird feeling in your stomach when you’re around them, and something about them doesn’t sit right with you; You must be busy with something.
Don’t ignore your subconscious intuition about people. You’re usually right.
6) They show no remorse.
Even after hurting someone, whether by accident or on purpose, he shows no remorse.
You see this in the courtroom when killers accept their sentence without batting an eye, but you don’t usually see it in the boardroom.
However, this happens more often than we would like to admit.
And you can be sure that people who do not show any emotions are not good.
7) They are mean to others.
Why would one person be mean or cruel to another person? Aren’t we all just trying to get through life together?
It turns out that evil people have a lot of fun hurting others, and if your friend is always stabbing someone in the back, they’re probably not your friend at all. It is very difficult to deal with them.
8) They do not take responsibility for their actions.
There’s no situation where an evil person stands up and says, “Yes, that was my fault.”
They always blame someone else when something goes wrong and like to play the victim.
They simply will not take responsibility for any of their wrongful actions.
9) They come with a good reputation.
If you have heard about this person before actually meeting them, the reputation is likely true.
Most of the time, a person’s reputation precedes them, and if you get weird feelings that go along with that reputation, you’re probably right in assuming that there’s something not right with that person.
10) They only come when they need something.
What’s worse than a friend who stabs you in the back?
A friend who only calls when he needs something.
This thing usually means that you need to do your best to help them, which you do because they go on a heavy guilt trip and make you do the things they want you to do – every time.
11) They laugh at the misfortunes of others.
Although it may be funny to see a popular video of someone falling flat on their face while walking on the road, in real life it’s not quite as funny.
If you find someone in your life enjoying someone else’s misfortune, it may be because they are toxic.
They may tell you that it’s all good fun, but the truth is that toxic people don’t have the wherewithal to see things from other people’s point of view, and what may seem funny to them is very annoying to others.
When you think about it, it’s scary for someone to laugh at someone else’s injury.
12) You get a weird vibe from them.
No matter what they do, you never seem to relax around them, and you keep thinking they’ll say or do something inappropriate.
Evil people don’t know what boundaries are, and they like to trample them anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they realize any boundaries you have in your life.
Sometimes, you’ll feel this strong feeling that you can’t be around someone without really knowing why.
Pay attention to what your gut is telling you – your body can pick up bad vibes from other bodies and will try to make you see what kind of person in front of you is.
13) They are mean to animals.
It’s hard to believe that people are mean to animals, but it happens every day. And if the person in your life doesn’t mistreat animals, but just ignores them, it can be just as bad.
People who have no connection with other living organisms are not only toxic; They are believed to be a type of evil. They have no soul.
Furthermore, people who harm animals often go on to harm humans, so stay away from people who are not kind to animals.
14) They think it’s funny when they insult you.
There is something sick and twisted about a person who tries to laugh at your expense and insult you while trying to be funny.
The two don’t go together, and it’s even worse when people try to undermine you with humor.
It’s uncomfortable for everyone. Toxic people don’t understand how to use humor, and this is a clear sign that you should stay away from them.
Getting a toxic person out of your life is harder than you think, so be sure to look for these signs before getting into a relationship with someone and save yourself a lot of trouble.
15) Evil people lie. a lot.
Whether they’re lying about the grocery bill or the weather, they find something to lie about regularly. They can’t help him.
They need to complain or exaggerate life to make it interesting. This is usually done at the expense of others, and they will lie about others as well.
It’s embarrassing to catch someone lying, but that doesn’t mean you should be ashamed of accusing someone of their lies.
It may mean that you can’t work with someone or be with someone anymore if their lies start affecting your life, but it is a necessary step to removing the toxic person from your life.
16) Evil people manipulate everything and everyone.
You’ll know a toxic person when you see them trying to get everyone to do everything for them.
They will find a way to get someone to do anything they want, usually accomplished by making someone feel bad, belittling them, or being mean to them.
17) They make people feel stupid.
Whether you share a dream or a fear, a toxic person will find a way to tell you they are stupid.
This can be devastating for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it makes you feel like they don’t care about you and what’s going on.
This is common in abusive relationships, but also between friends where one is toxic and takes out their thoughts and feelings on the other, the seemingly weaker friend.

18) They do not know what sin is.
One of the strangest things about an evil person is that he doesn’t feel bad about his actions.
They will never apologize for what they did unless it helped them in some way; Think of abusive relationships where one partner vows to never “do it again” and then turns around and does it again. It’s called a treadmill for a reason.
19) Wicked people don’t get it.
One of the big red flags about a toxic and evil person is that they cannot feel empathy.
No matter the situation, they can’t put themselves in someone else’s shoes…or they don’t want to. If you encounter someone who cannot see the misery they are causing, they are probably toxic.
20) It’s all about them.
They will manipulate or lie to get anything they want. How they influence others simply does not matter.
If you get in their way, be careful, because they won’t feel remorseful about hurting your feelings to get what they want.
