The Psychology of Evil People

[@Olderandgolder]

I worked in a prison and will never forget a convicted child offender say to me “ having one drink doesnt make me an alcoholic, smoking one spliff doesnt make me a drug addict, what i’ve done doesnt make me a paedo.” He had been proven to have offended at least 40 times. The gaslighting -lies and distorted thinking i will never forget 😢

[@kassokilleri2ff]

I'd ask him what does it mean to be a pedophile? What is the definition? What is the mental content of a pedo? He's probably not smart enough to think like that so it would be pointless to ask.

[@MsHenry147]

I'm curious, what did you say?

[@Olderandgolder]

He was actually handing me his probation report to read prior to release as he was so proud of how far he had come. He had also read the report. I told him to leave the report on my desk and I’d read it later - when I read it it told of all the crimes he had committed (been caught.admitted) which was opposite to what he told me. I’ve learned there is no point arguing with distorted thinking/reasoning/delusion we can’t change their minds. Even seasoned psychiatrists/psychologists have a tough time trying to modify/improve that type of thinking. We were a sex offending treatment centre at the time (many years ago) and there is no “cure.” Over decades of electric shock treatment/castration/frontal lobotomy etc when I worked there they were putting them on prozac. I asked why and was told it reduced impulse by approx 1 second which they hoped was enough time to get a window to their thoughts to decide not to act on that impulse. I don’t know if that was successful or what has been tried since (was over 20 years ago).

[@user-qy5je7fr2c]

Maybe his point was that he's not defined by simply being a pedophile as you viewed him.

[@SweetandSassyRedhead]

I left the day after my 18th birthday and went to the police. They recorded conversations of us where he confessed many times what happened. He ended up pleading guilty. Keep in mind he was arrested when I was 12 and convicted for molesting me yet I remained in the home with him there. He started abusing me again at 15 years of age. I am so grateful for being strong and heartbroken I had these terrible experiences. @@Gods_11Warrior

TB’s first kill was at the age of 11. He went to my high school, several years ahead of me. My social studies teacher had a picture of him on his door. He was sitting straight up with his hand folded in front of him with a slight smile on his face. The rest of the class is talking and laughing to each other. His disconnect from humanity was evident even then. I asked my teacher why he had a picture of a serial killer on his door and he said something I will never forget. Evil sits among us planning evil deeds and by all appearances is innocent. Most of us never see it coming. Don’t believe it could possibly happen, it’s so horrible. He told me to keep my eyes open. Don’t be deceived. I will never forget it.

[@jesusisking3814]

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

[@sandracoombs2255]

This wisdom is from the Lord. The full quote is from the Bible. God tells Cain, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you but you must master it”. Genesis 4:7.

He forgot I was there beside him in the same room. When I asked what the hell u doing?…he jumped and didn’t know what to say. I felt ashamed and embarrassed for him, but never saw him the same way again.

[@Lily_1010]

I have been there as well. The true core of it is demonic. The bible talks about a reprobate mind, Jordan is explaining that in terms used in Psychology. Narcissism is an example of that as well, it is a personality disorder that has a particular set of functions, but the true spiritual core is demon possession. Jesus is the only cure, and they don't want him. But you can have him if you just talk to him and read the bible, just focus on a relationship like a best friend, don't even worry about going to church until you know him better, a lot of churches are corrupted. Let him guide you to the right one down the road. Evil is everywhere. But Jesus is greater. God Bless!

As my momma taught me when I was little. I asked her if monsters were real and she said YES. She said "yes honey, they are real but they are disgusted as human beings, that you have to be able to see through their masks" I was 7 years old and I truly think one of many things great things my parents had taught me, this one was the one of the best ways to teach all people. Young and old. I added when I got older (only 31 now) that if you see that monster, you see that mask, you rip off the mask and expose the monster to all to see.

[@this-american-mutt]

@josiahwright3751 I have a perfect example for you. I expose a monster, lost my mind, and learned the people who I thought were my support team was non-existent. It ruined my mindset, yet because I did expose him, I found out I was not his 1st, 2nd, or even third. Your approach, go for it. However, watch The Croods the kid movie. Smart to hide in a rock, you'll stay alive... But is that all your own purpose of life... just stay alive, or was it to live? So actually it was backwards for me.

We were aware girls were disappearing. I also, know a woman in our neighborhood who accepted a ride from T. B. When she was a college student. He offered her a ride one other time. She declined. She’s lucky to be alive. He integrated himself into the community among his victims. Some people thought he was a normal, nice guy in their social circle. Evil man!

This really describes how ALL evil develops, from the most graphic to the more "acceptable" (say, alcoholism or drug abuse). We willingly violate our conscience a little bit at a time, pushing ourselves further and further along inch by inch, until one day we wake up and we're miles away from where we started. This is why it's so important to guard our thoughts and actions at the beginning, because almost anything can spiral out of control if we don't draw clear lines that we REFUSE to cross under any circumstances.

[@mh60648]

I don't think 'pushing' is the (only) verb here. I think there is a 'pulling' there towards a very strong desire, and with every pull, the person lets go of a little bit more of what keeps them from directly going all the way. The thing with addictions is that the more we give in to them, the less pleasure and relief they offer, and the more we suffer whatever it is we try to compensate with the addiction. The suffering and the need for compensation pull the person apart because the relief and the suffering are obviously related. When one of the two goes beyond its previous boundery, so does the other as a reaction to it. The person is pulled beyond its earlier boundary on the addiction side, which makes the dark side become even darker, creating a downwards spiral in two opposite extremes moving away from the center. What is missing is a human core strong enough to stay centered and remain 'human'.

I spent several years in various chatrooms catfishing out predators, and it was very disturbing, you could easily tell after awhile the differences between those who just had some taboo fantasy they wanted to play out fictitiously (who were largely non-offenders) and those who were legitimately obsessed with carrying out their evil wills upon others. These deranged individuals aren't always the socially inept hygiene-challenged weirdos you typically would associate with such, some were outwardly friendly, charismatic, kind, personable, able to hold a conversation, and would take their time nurturing their own sadistic fantasies to reality. There were always justifications and measures of control they exacted over every aspect of their depraved lusts. It makes you realize that anyone could potentially be a predator, and it's not just the sleazy looking old man on the corner, it could be the sweet old lady in the church booth. I think it's equally important to recognize the capacity for great evil lies in the heart of every person, and that it also lies in your own heart as well. To recognize that evil can manifest itself anywhere is the first true step towards being able to combat it when it rears it's head.

i think you missed the point of the video. the "largely non-offenders" as you put it, are walking down the path of becoming those who would carry out evil on others. There is no such thing as semi-innocence, and the ultimate answer is that we as humans have a moral responsibility to not explore "fictitiously playing out fantasy taboos. THATS the first lie you tell yourself. Thats why modern sex culture is so disgusting, and that's why throughout history it's been shunned. It has to be shunned, or every fetish under the sun will start to flourish. Any decent human being should understand the basic concept of self discipline, and restraining yourself, saying no to thoughts that pop into your head, because the more people say yes to "semi innocent fantasy thoughts" the worse those thoughts become, and the more they spread to others in society, and they stop being thoughts and turn into action. It's the whole basis behind conservatism, really. Don't stray from what God said, or you will find the devil. and in modern society these people are starting to be demonized. Look at the stigma behind the boomer types, the type of person that might say "the only type of sex you should have with your spouse is missionary position". Theres a reason that was taught. But no one wants to restrain themselves, so they convince themselves over generations that a conservative life style is foolish and wrong.

My sister, who died at age 49 lived a wicked life. She was beautiful, she was athletic, she was book smart. She was also cunning, conniving, and evil. At 13 she started having sex, doing drugs, drinking. My parents were very left wing and didn’t discipline her. I believe now that she probably had a mental illness as well. She wouldn’t work so moved from man to man to support her. That soon turned to prostitution, drug addiction and alcoholism. She had two kids. Her kids are messed up. She was living with an old man and got pneumonia, she used cocaine to help with the pain. It killed her. She made my life a misery as a child and by the time of her death, I hadn’t seen her in 20 years. I didn’t want my children anywhere near her. The trauma I lived through from her abusing me has colored every corner of my life. I have overcome my childhood because of Christ. Evil exists. Satan exists. God exists. God is greater than Satan. My life is a testament to that.

Lets not forget the Trans issue where "Tearches" attempt to convert kids and make them swear to not tell their parents.

I haven't watched this video yet - my first reaction to the title is that 'dark behavior', as with any behavior is addictive. That's why any sane or rational person, out of caution, NEVER EVER allows themselves to pursue or stew on an unhealthy fantasy or behavior. Logic teaches us, that each time you let your mind 'go down that path' - the temptation to take one step further will happen. Never let your friends talk you into 'minor shoplifting', never let the boyfriend talk you into making a 'private sex video' for him, never participate in any behavior that is unhealthy. All paths start with a first step. Now I'll watch the video and see if I've paralleled the message within?

Very charismatic. I was shocked that when I turned him in, the police told me there was a crime matching what I told them reported that night. But most of the town didn’t believe me. I should have known long before I did but I thought he was a just a cheater and drunk. Had us all fooled. I knew something wasn’t right when he openly plotted to murder his ex wife but since he drank all the time I really thought it was just drunken rambling.

This video, with Dr Petersons insights & commentary is truly frightening. I was married to a male who very slowly revealed, over time how depraved his thoughts were. I strongly suggested that he go to a counselor, as I couldn't bear to have him tell me about it anymore. He started seeing a counselor, I went to his first 2 appointments with him. I didn't know that he didn't go to any more appointments after that. He would lie to me, telling me that he was going to his counseling appointment, would be back home in an hour. Then, he started telling me that he had a desire to break someone's nose just for the experience. That was so disturbing. He started asking me if he could break my nose "just once". Then, it was, since he couldn't get my permission, he would do it while I was sleeping, "so it wouldn't hurt." I moved into the extra bedroom in our home, putting locks on the window & locks on the door. Then, he began threatening to BBQ the family dog if I wouldn't let him break my nose. I called his counselor about it, that was when I found out that he never went back to the counselor after the 2 appointments 6 months earlier. I couldn't take much more. One night I made a sincere attempt to talk with him, he only laughed at me, telling me I was deluded, I was the one with all of the problems & he was just a normal guy with fantasies. We were in our hot tub. When he was laughing as I tried to talk to him, I stood up to leave, to go into the house. That was the last thing I remembered. I woke up in the hospital 3 days later. I left, then, divorced him. 12 years after the divorce, people who I had traded babysitting with, contacted me to tell me that he had sexually molested their children. Maybe it shouldn't have shocked me, yet, it was so shocking. It made me happy that I had divorced him. I had known nothing about it, probably would have divorced him back then if I had known. I told the people that I had not even seen the pedo in over 10 years, that I didn't have any contact information for him. One of the people he molested when one of them was barely 2 years old, told our 4 children about it at a family party. If I had told our children they might have seen as me, bashing their father.

As a diagnosed Sociopath and I wanna give my pov on this topic. I need to point out that we don't feel the private emotions (shame, guilt, remorse, empathy, etc.) We don't have a reason to feel those things. We aren't emotionless, but our emotions are limited to certain extend. I can't speak for all Sociopaths (we can be different), but each one of us can choose to be "good" or "evil". I personally am tempted in many ways, but I choose to not to be evil. Not because I feel sorry for others, but I understand that there are consequences and it leads to self-destruction. For me personally it's pathetic to take on someone younger/weaker! I might add, that we tend to create certain personalities based on another people. We tend to reflect others and do it well, we have a good quality of observation skills. We can manipulate easily, therefore we can be very persuasive. In many cases, emotions are learnt and are only layers, which if you were about to peel of, you'd find an empty person. Many of us are only empty creatures, hurt deeply in the past (mostly childhood). I personally visit the psychiatrist, so that I keep an actual person inside and not just a reflection of others. Our psychology is very difficult, but I chose to not to be evil (as I said already), but to even make good things/decisions and keep myself satisfied. Some of us on the other hand choose not to, what I do understand. Everyone chooses their own path and their own shit

[@mrflick7645]

Yes, and like you I too am an empty box that is only full of space, walking about like a vacant vessel permanently devoid of emotion, so what I do is I work in a prison where I witness I can be that close to being inside if I do not conceive a true human inside me and keep my self permanently pregnant with the most humane intelligent person forever gestating inside me, because without that person inside me, I am hollow and will have the propensity toward evil. So, I NEVER allow the spirit of sin to enter me, I will fight it outside on the doorstep of my home, I battle with sin as it wants to enter and have its way with me. It will NEVER win. Only lose, it will as I overcome its power and sleigh it DEAD. NEVER will I collaborate with satan in any venture. For I remain God’s soldier, winning wars with my weapons of truth, faith, justice, kindness, sacrifice and wholesome goodness. Join my army to continually wield our swords to kill evil and cruelty.

However, not everyone wants to be a completely shitty person and trust me, we who have at least something in our heads, we do realize that our actions have consequences. Private emotions probably suck, I recongnize it on others, but it doesn't necessarily mean, that you even have the right to be shitty to "normal" people. You're never something more, even though I feel like it most of the time. Believe me, it took me a lot of time, thinking and sessions to realize this. Some of us don't at all...

[@CosmicWaltz7]

I have traits of sociopathy, from early childhood sexual abuse. In my way, I kind of flicker between a normal, caring person, and one who feels nothing and is somewhat robotic when stressed. In that state, I feel I could do anything without remorse, because remorse isn't something I can feel at the time. It's hard to explain. You can't reference how you'd emotionally react to something when you're emotionally disconnected from reality. It's like trying to imagine a color you cannot see; the frame of reference is gone. So I have to be careful in those moments to do what's best for everyone but myself. I find it's easy to do good things out of spite. Spite towards the indifferent nature of reality, and of whatever organic chemistry started this bastard chain of creation. The evil, selfish thing is what reality expects. So, fuck that.

It isn't always so black & white. And not all addicts blame others or other places and things. There are ppl who find it liberating to understand the why's, how's, etc They feel a duty to spend the rest of their life fighting to not ever become that addict again.

Commands one of his most devout followers(Abraham) to kill his one and only son (Isaac) 4.) Commands the Israelites to commit genocide against the Amalakites(kill all the men, women boys, and livestock, but allowed the Israelite soldiers to keep the virgin girls for themselves...you figure out why they kept the virgin girls for yourself) 5.) Explicitly sanctions and codifies slavery into mosaic law and instructs his followers on how to acquire slaves and how to treat their slaves, giving the Israelites permission to beat their slaves without punishment so long as the slaves don't die within two days and laying the foundation for chattel slavery practiced by plantation owners in the antebellum south, who cited the Bible as a justification for owning slaves in many cases(look this up in both Exodus 21 and Leviticus 25) 6.) Codifies into Mosaic law, and commands his followers to stone the following people to death as a community activity for violating "god's law": adulterers, blasphemers, homosexuals, people who pick up sticks on the Sabbath, and YOUR OWN unruly children if they ever disobey you. So, in the first 3 books god can be classified as a war criminal who exhibits genocidal tendencies, endorses slavery, believes in familicide and infanticide and also, in another little section not mentioned above, permits rapists to marry their victim and enshrines it as a legal REQUIREMENT under Mosaic law(Deuteronomy 22:28-29).
