in the video I'll be letting you in on an effective method for setting boundaries when dealing with an evil person and this is something that you don't want to miss so make sure you stick around until the end welcome to Wellness lenses where we talk about mental health and the journey to self-development without further Ado let's Dive In when we talk about evil people we're not talking about your run-of-the-mill jerks or difficult personalities we're talking about people who seem to go out of their way to hurt others who lack empathy and manipulate those around them
so what are some signs that you might be dealing with an evil person well they might seem charming and charismatic at first they may even seem to care about you or be interested in your life But as time goes on you might start to notice that they're only interested in you for what you can do for them or they might start to belittle you or criticize you let's say you meet someone at an event who seems to be the life of the party they're making everyone laugh telling great stories and seem genuinely interested in you
you might think that you've just made a new friend but be careful as you get to know this person more you might start to notice that they always have to be the center of attention they might talk over you interrupt you or even put you down in front of others they might also be quick to anger or become aggressive if they don't get their way this is a classic example of someone who might seem charming and charismatic at first but is actually quite toxic so if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're dealing
with someone who seems too good to be true be cautious take the time to really get to know them and trust your instincts if something feels off it probably is remember not everyone who seems charming and charismatic is actually a good person another red flag to watch out for is a lack of empathy so empathy simply means being able to understand and share the feelings of others it's an important trait that helps us connect with others and form meaningful relationships when someone lacks empathy it means they don't care about how their actions or words affect
others evil people often have a hard time putting themselves in other people's shoes and understanding how their actions might affect those around them they might do things that seem cruel or hurtful without any remorse or guilt this lack of empathy can become even more troubling when it extends Beyond personal relationships for example let's say you have a boss who doesn't care about the well-being of their employees they might push you to work long hours without overtime pay ignore your requests for time off or criticize you unfairly in front of others this kind of behavior can
create a toxic work environment that affects everyone involved if you notice that someone doesn't seem to care about your feelings or the feelings of others it's worth considering whether or not you want them in your life and then there's manipulation evil people are often very good at getting what they want whether that means lying gaslighting or even forms of manipulation have you ever had a friend who always seems to get their way no matter what maybe they always know just what to say to get you to do what they want and they may make you
feel guilty when you don't go along with their plans That's a classic example of manipulation now not all manipulation is necessarily evil sometimes people use these tactics without even realizing it they do it with good intentions for example a parent might manipulate their child into eating their vegetables by promising them dessert afterwards that's not necessarily evil right but when someone uses manipulation to hurt or control others that's when it becomes a real problem the thing is manipulation can be a powerful tool and it's not always easy to recognize when it's happening to you so if
