5. Psychological exceptionalism

An obsessive state in which a person believes that they deserve better and more than everyone else. They view others as tools to be used for their own selfish purposes and do not hesitate to exploit their resources, emotions or vulnerabilities. They are able to identify weaknesses and use them to achieve their goals, regardless of the cost to others.

6. Lack of empathy

Lack of sympathy and empathy, as well as cruelty, all this is combined with impulsiveness, i.e. lack of self-control.

One of the most frightening traits of an evil person is their complete lack of empathy. They are incapable of feeling compassion or sympathy for others, regardless of the situation. This lack of empathy allows them to inflict pain and suffering without any sense of guilt or remorse, making them extremely dangerous.

A sadist is a person who enjoys humiliating others, but also has a strong tendency to behave cruelly towards people. He uses physical, psychological and sexual violence against others to demonstrate his power and control over his victims or simply for fun.

8. Self-obsession

An obsession with money and status, praise, degrees and positions that becomes increasingly frightening.

Evil personalities are often driven by intense jealousy and envy. They cannot bear to see others happy or successful, and will go to great lengths to sabotage the achievements and happiness of those around them. Their envy is the driving force behind much of their malicious behavior, as they seek to destroy what they cannot have.

9. Revenge

A vindictive nature is a hallmark of truly evil people.

The desire to harm others through real or imagined slights. They devise a wide variety of ways to exact revenge, from social and financial to emotional and physical. They never forgive or forget seemingly minor offenses, no matter how insignificant. Instead, they hold a grudge and are ruthless in their pursuit of revenge. This vindictiveness often leads to ongoing conflict and harm.
