This is How You Spot Evil People
If you have lived long enough, you know that the devil lives on earth and he does not have red skin or long horns. He wears a man’s suit and calls himself your friend, parent, sibling, co-worker, and sometimes your leader. You are here because you have encountered the devil in a man’s suit. Here we call them evil people.
They are evil because they have a dysfunctional moral compass, cause harm to others, and destroy the lives of others. They reveal their claws in the form of jealousy, envy, selfishness, manipulative behavior, selfish and pathological lying.
In this article, I will share with you practical ways you can protect your lives from these people. Although they hide in human skin, their habits reveal their core traits.
Jealous People
They are everywhere -at workplaces, church, home, and circle of friends. You will certainly meet them. You will know them because they will secretly imitate you. They focus on you even without their knowledge. They will dress, talk, and try to copy your working style.
Jealous people are unaware of the vice within them. They will talk down your success because they feel you don’t deserve it. And because they do not want to reveal their bitterness towards their success, jealous people will shower you with bogus and sarcastic compliments. You will notice the fake smile and constant desire to be near you at the moment of your success.
Manipulative people
You will not notice them until something binds you together. It could be in a relationship, a teammate, or a colleague. Manipulative people have a perverted view of life. They are unmindful of or deliberately ignore personal boundaries. They will pester you with demands despite communicating your desire for personal space.
They will want to control your time and schedule to get you on board in their personal lives. When you refuse to give in to their demands, they play victim or guilt trip you into doing what they want.
Manipulative people keep score of things that happened in the past and use them against you to get your attention. They will go to the extent of emotionally blackmailing you through threats like releasing confidential information concerning you.
Envious People
Resentment is the language of envious people. Bitterness creeps into their hearts when they see a person has certain advantages over them. They feel they should have better than other people.
They will undermine your success and secretly celebrate your struggles and failures. They find joy when people are below them financially, materially, and even in health. When you continuously get victory in your life, they will spread false information about you to tarnish your reputation or belittle your success.
Narcissist
Narcissists camouflage in their charisma. There’s a high chance you’ll fall in love with them at first sight. Red flags pop up in their obsession with self-importance. They believe their existence, skills, and expertise are the only things necessary for anything’s success.
Narcissist people are perpetually preoccupied with power, beauty, and success. They disregard other people’s feelings in their quest for power and material things. Narcissists will go to the extreme level to get everything that makes them look important.
It gets worse, they expect you to admire their success, achievement, and beauty. You become a direct threat or enemy when you do not admire what they have.
Selfish people
Selfish people come in different shades. At the heart of every selfish person is themselves. They may consciously speak of the importance of considering other people but deep down they want to get the spotlight.
In conversations out of the public eye, selfish people will show no remorse for their wrongdoings. They do not take the blame when their action hurt other people. Instead, they return the blame to those who got hurt.
They are manipulators at heart. They would risk controlling other people to get things done their way. Disliking others will make them unkind and giving back to others will be a sign of weakness. When you lend them money, they will not give back and won’t feel guilty about it.
Pathological liars
Everyone has found themselves lying about something but pathological liars take this habit to another level. Lying is natural to them. They polish lies with other lies to the story appear authentic.
Pathological liars might add dramatic and unlikely details in their stories to make them appealing to their listeners. They get defensive, play the victim, or manipulate you when confronted. They will still defend themselves when they get caught in their act of lying.
Psychopaths
Of all the evil people we have discussed, psychopaths are the most dangerous. Like narcissists, you might never know them. Many people think psychopaths are out there breaking the law with guns or harming people. They do the same atrocities but in subtle and undetectable ways.
They have behaviors that conflict with social norms like arriving at work early and dressing well. Their true traits come out when you get into their personal lives. Their degree of violating other people’s rights goes deeper the more power and money they get.
Drug lords have some psychopathic traits when dealing with their enemies and betrayers but psychopaths with polished jobs like CEOs, religious leaders, and relatives can even be worse. These people might get away with rape, molestation, human trafficking, and child abuse and go to the extent of blaming their victims. Such people have an addiction to substances, drugs, and explicit videos.
Evil people will appear friendly but as you interact with them, you will notice a weird pattern in their lives. Do not neglect these red flags. Notice and address them directly. Put a strong boundary with them lest you become their victim.
