There
are those who think that they are the only manipulators, deceptive and
power-hungry creatures. They’re wrong. Along the way, they will encounter
similar species.
First,
mean people don’t envision themselves as bad. They don’t understand people who
think they are mean. And yet, when they do engage with another rude person,
they often feel hurt and complain.
‘Evil’
people are those who are unable to empathize with others. As a result, their
own needs and desires are of paramount importance. They are selfish,
self-absorbed, and narcissistic. They cannot sense other people’s emotions or
suffering, can’t see the world from other people’s perspectives, and so have no
sense of their rights. Other human beings are just objects to them, which is
what makes their brutality and cruelty possible (Taylor, 2003).
When,
they apply this to others who have similar attributes, expect a “clash”. They
will then release all their powers to stay on top not realizing that on the
other side, the same mentality is applied.
Along
the way, animals as they are, they will then experience the “fight or flight
response”. It serves many for most of that time, readying for attack and helping
individuals escape when they encounter something “dangerous” (Schoen, 2014).
Therefore,
during the clash, there is a fight and if threatened, the animal in them,
flees. But they won’t stop there.
The
preservation of the ego will then take place. One’s ego is generally always
oriented toward a fundamental defense of the self. Since most of the mean
people are egocentric, they will always find ways to preserve their self-image.
Machiavellianism
in psychology refers to a personality trait that sees a person so focused on
their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to
achieve their goals (Jacobson, 2023).
If
these persons won’t consider reflections, therapy and interventions, they will
experience a vicious cycle of conflicts and chaotic encounters. In the real
world, they exist. And most of the time, they are involved in unresolved
conflicts and constant “clashes”.
