8. They Don’t Feel Guilt Or Remorse
Let’s say you were having a bad day and took it out on your partner. Maybe you were kind of cranky, or didn’t feel like hearing about their problems. This happens, and is usually followed up by some pretty intense guilt, right? Well, with cold-hearted people, the remorse never comes. “Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions,” wrote Mike Adams on NaturalNews.com. “This allows them to betray people, threaten people, or harm people without giving it a second thought.” Yikes.
9. They Have A Total Lack Of Empathy
The type of person who hurts animals, or lies for personal gain, is the same type of person who lacks empathy. This is the ability to feel or share in another person’s emotions, according to Susan York Morris on Healthline.com. It ties in with that aforementioned lack of remorse, and can be quite scary.
10. They Are Racist And/Or Sexist
Let me go ahead and address this, while we’re on the topic of bad people. Of course racism and sexism are their own separate issues, and they don’t need defining. But let’s go ahead and agree that people who “indulge” in either one are clearly closed off to the fact that everyone is equal. And that’s not OK.
11. They Don’t Have Many Friends
This may not come as a huge surprise, but people with all of the above traits won’t have many friends. And yet it’s not for the reason you might think. Usually, evil people only want friends when it benefits them, according to Marcina Cooper-White on HuffingtonPost.com. So they’ll likely push others away, or not make an effort to form friendships, unless it’s for person gain. Gross!
If you’ve reached the end of this list and feel a bit in shock, remember this: there are many reasons people might come across as “evil.” They may have suffered some trauma, or they may be struggling with an illness. Not everyone is bad for the sake of being bad, and that’s an impotent distinction to make
