5 psychological tricks of evil people

[Brother]

Angry people feel happy and fulfilled when they bring pain and suffering to others. They seem to be born to harm others. And they do it best.

In this case, causing harm to someone does not have to be physical in nature. You can also make pain through certain psychological mechanisms.

Usually, evil people have no reason to harm others. They do it because they enjoy it. You may be the nicest person on the planet, but if they lay eyes on you, they will do anything to make you suffer and ruin your life. That is how they are arranged.

5 psychological tricks evil people use:​

1. Distortion of consequences​

Consequence distortion is a psychological mechanism by which a toxic person tries to hide or minimize the consequences of his actions. He will do everything he can to make you believe that all his actions were logical and reasonable, and that the problem lies with you, not him.

This is one of the favorite psychological tricks of all narcissists and sociopaths, as they are always looking for a way to manipulate other people in order to satisfy their questionable and toxic motives. They will manipulate the consequences of their actions so that you feel broken, after which they will pretend that you are overreacting to everything and making an elephant out of a fly.

2. Moral justification​

Toxic individuals will always find hundreds of reasons to justify their toxic behavior, and one of their most effective tools is moral justification. This is their trump card and at the same time the most desirable weapon for inflicting pain on others, without giving away their true nature.

Moral justification is the accompaniment of one's actions with noble motives, regardless of their toxicity and perversity. They will try to convince you that they are doing the right thing because they are pursuing your interests. Do they rule your life? It's all about their love and care. Did they forbid you to go out with your friends? It seems to them that your friends, with whom you have known for many years, are simply using you.

Angry and toxic people will continue to hurt, always having a moral justification ready for their insidious actions. And if you try to call them to account, they will "twist" the situation in their favor and present you as an ungrateful and vile person, while they themselves appear as angels.

3. Projecting guilt​

Projecting guilt is one of the most common methods used by toxic individuals to harm someone. Thus, they try to justify their actions, shifting responsibility for them to the victim, as if she did something wrong, and they had to act accordingly.

For example, if a person treats you harshly and rudely, he will never admit that he is to blame for this. Rather, he will try to justify his behavior by accusing you of making him angry and forcing him to cross the line.

Don't expect a toxic person to admit their mistakes, because they will always make excuses for them by making themselves the victim and you as the culprit. And the most interesting thing about all this is that deep inside toxic people know who they are, but they are too cowardly and weak to admit it. This is why they project their guilt, wrongdoing, and toxicity onto other people in order to hurt them.

4. Transfer of responsibility​

Evil people can do anything to absolve themselves of the guilt of their actions, no matter how terrible they may be. If they are called to account for what they did, they immediately shift the responsibility to someone else, saying the following: "I did what I was told!" or "I didn't want it, but that was the order." Do you understand the essence?

By shifting responsibility, they quickly minimize their involvement and brainwash those around them, shielding themselves. They did something vile and got their hands dirty, they were caught hot, but they still manage to shift the responsibility onto someone else, posing as an unfortunate victim who was simply “forced” to do so.

5. Dehumanization and depersonalization​

Dehumanization and depersonalization are two of the most disgusting things you can do to another person. The main feature of these two psychological mechanisms is to treat someone as if they were not human. This makes it easier for the abuser to hurt him.

Dehumanization - when evil people do not consider their victims to be human, and therefore continue to bully them because of the firm belief that they do not deserve respect. Toxic individuals justify their cruelty towards such victims with the help of self-conviction that their actions are not only right, but also necessary.

Depersonalization - when you completely detach from other people and see them as insensitive, callous and unthinking creatures. They not only seem to you inhuman, but also deprived of their social and moral rights. They are objects to play with and to mock.

Dehumanization and depersonalization are perhaps the two most terrible ways to hurt another person, because at the very moment when you stop perceiving him as a living, breathing and feeling person, and use this as an excuse for your disgusting attitude towards him, then you yourself are already difficult to call a person.
