Joe Navarro Behavior Expert

Some people don’t simply hurt others—they seem to enjoy the suffering, humiliation, fear, or discomfort they create. How do you recognize them before they do serious damage?

In this episode, former FBI Special Agent Joe Navarro examines the sadistic personality—individuals who derive satisfaction from dominating, degrading, intimidating, humiliating, or causing emotional or physical suffering to others.

Drawing on decades of studying human behavior, Joe explains the traits and behaviors that should get your attention, including the need to dominate, deliberate humiliation, intimidation, cruelty, lack of remorse, and the disturbing pleasure some individuals appear to take in another person’s distress.

You’ll learn how these behaviors can appear in relationships, families, workplaces, leadership positions, and everyday encounters—and why recognizing the pattern early matters.

Most importantly, Joe discusses what these personalities can do to the people around them and why their behavior can be so psychologically destructive.

In this video:
-The warning signs of sadistic behavior
-Why humiliation and domination matter
-How cruelty can become rewarding to some people
-What victims often experience
-Why these personalities can be extraordinarily toxic
-What to watch for in relationships and the workplace

The goal isn’t to diagnose people from a distance. It’s to recognize concerning patterns of behavior so you can make better decisions about whom you trust, work with, and allow into your life.

It is truly horrifying to see the evil smirk on their face, the satisfaction and huge dopamine high they thrive on once you figure out what they are doing to you. This is such an important issue to highlight - thank you for explaining.

Why can't we admit how many people love watching others suffer? It's all around us.

@SgtPepper138-n2l 2 weeks ago

They make conscious choices and decisions to hurt other people. Stay far away from these people. Your pain and suffering is their amusement.

They are not normal humans, the physical body is but not the mind.

There is no excuse. People need to stop defending the bullies.

I'll forgive but I'll take the pain to the grave. If it were only one person, I might have been able to deal with it, but when it runs in your family, it is almost impossible to get beyond disbelief once you look back at your life and realize what has been done to you.

I was bullied at home and at school. No one has ever protected me

Thank you for acknowledging that psychological trauma affects the body. I’ve been saying that an abusive individual doesn’t have to hit or touch you to inflict physical harm to your body. Their behaviour changes pathways in the brain. That’s physical harm.

Sick individuals that try to play victim when nothing was done to them to justify hurting others

When you carry a light within you. These type of people are triggered because it triggers the demon within them. Truth is a living force whether you believe it are not.

The best place for a sadist imo is jail, no ifs, no bits about it.

Sadistic people are just cowards taking after their father’s

Thanks Joe. This is a sad reality, and an important one to have covered.

I thought I understood how to deal with toxic manipulators until I read The Marionette Principle by Soren Vantrell. This book completely changed how I handle workplace confrontation. I used to struggle, argue back, and get nowhere. But after applying his methods, things started shifting so effortlessly it felt unreal. If you ever get the chance to read it, don't think twice.

They usually laugh wen someone gets hurt or injured wen you should help they dont care .

@shortmeister4321 2 weeks ago

Thank you, I hope anyone experiencing sadistic treatment sees this and gets free. I have suffered and know how damaging it is.

Thanks for highlighting the damage of emotional or psychological harm. Just an example, but I’ve heard men condemn physical violence against women but overlook the pain caused by infidelity. Betrayal is extremely painful and should not be disregarded as just something that happens.
