Just like a jar of rotten food or a rotten ladder, which at first glance seem completely ordinary, a rotten person can easily be next to you in your life. And until things touch upon some problems, life's difficulties or, on the contrary, your great success, you will never know that next to you all this time there was a person in whom anger, envy and hatred were boiling.
They may appear friendly, cheerful and inviting, like a rotten staircase that shows no visible signs of decay.
The danger, however, is when you start climbing up that ladder and the rotten steps collapse with you. By the time the true nature of rotten people is revealed, it may be too late.
Therefore, it is extremely important to pay close attention to those you allow into your life. Even in the midst of friendly banter, sharing successes and failures, it is extremely important to remain cautious.
They say a rotten person is someone who is rotten inside. There are subtle signs that can give away their true character.
So, here are 11 clues that will help you identify a rotten person:
1. A rotten person constantly judges someone and speaks badly about someone.
A sure sign of a rotten person is their tendency to constantly speak ill of others. Whether it is rumor-mongering, gossiping, or criticizing, they are skilled at putting others down, often behind their back. They will make negative comments about a person's appearance, their accomplishments, their significant other, their car, and often for no reason at all. Their malicious comments are often intended to assert their superiority by putting others down. They smile to your face and stab you in the back with vicious words.
2. A rotten person is envious
A rotten person harbors a deep-seated envy of those who possess the qualities or achievements they covet. They harbor envy for the success of others, rejoicing in their failures behind a façade of sympathy. Instead of celebrating the success of others, they envy their accomplishments and seek to question their every move.
3. A rotten person is constantly in conflict with the present and the past. He has a trail of dark stories behind him.
Their past actions and interactions are always shrouded in a cloud of ambiguity. Whether it's unresolved conflicts, shady deals, or broken relationships, a rotten person leaves behind a trail of dark stories and many unanswered questions.
Their past is littered with spurned friendships, betrayals and mudslinging. Often, the people he was "friends" with don't even want to talk about him.
4. Rotten people have a calculating character
Their every action is carefully calculated to serve their own interests. Whether it is cultivating a social circle, making deals, or advancing their agenda, the rotten person operates with a cold, strategic mind devoid of moral principles.
5. Rotten people are petty
Money is an eternal source of discord; he very often borrows from other people and does not pay them back, each time telling them about his difficult life and the upheavals that happen to him.
They commit petty acts of revenge or sabotage to assert their dominance or to settle perceived grievances. Their actions are fueled by malice and vindictiveness rather than rationality or empathy.
A rotten man lists the gifts he gave someone a hundred years ago.
6. Self-affirmation at the expense of others
They boost their self-esteem by putting others down, using comparison and criticism as tools to inflate their own egos. Their sense of self-worth comes from putting others down rather than building themselves up.
7. Extreme egoism
They put their own needs and desires above all else, showing little regard for the well-being or feelings of others. Their actions are driven by self-interest, and they do not hesitate to trample on others to achieve their goals.
Such people often exploit others for personal gain, charging exorbitant prices for minimal effort or engaging in shady deals to ensure a comfortable lifestyle for themselves.
8. A rotten person has no permanent true friends.
Their circle of friends is constantly changing as they manipulate and betray with reckless abandon.
9. Selective kindness and care
While they may show kindness and concern towards certain people, it is often a façade of manipulation or favor-seeking. Their kindness is conditional and self-serving, lacking genuine empathy or concern.
10. Striving for secrets
They have an insatiable appetite for secrets and enjoy revealing information that can be used as leverage or a weapon against others. This desire for control and power fuels their manipulative tendencies.
11. A rotten person always cheats
Lies fall easily from his lips, leaving behind a trail of deception.
But eventually their deception catches up with them, and the consequences are inevitable. When the ladder collapses and you find yourself mired in the mud of their duplicity, it becomes clear that true human connection is beyond their reach.
And if you cannot completely exclude such people from your life, then it is extremely important to maintain a safe distance, protecting yourself from the toxic fumes of their decayed soul, so that they cannot drag you into their abyss.
Take care of yourself and be happy!
