In the realm of dark psychology, it's often difficult to distinguish between what is presented as normal behaviour and what may be a manifestation of sadistic tendencies.
Sadism, when presented as being a moral sense of right and wrong can be a particularly insidious form of psychological warfare, where individuals use persuasion techniques to manipulate others for their own gratification. This can be seen in the realm of Machiavellianism, where narcissistic personalities often engage in mind games and emotional manipulation to achieve their goals.
Understanding the intricacies of sadistic behaviour, and sadistic subtypes of Enforcing, Tyrannical, Explosive and Spineless Sadism, as outlined by Theodore Millan, is crucial in recognising the signs of emotional, psychological, even physical abuse when protecting oneself from predatory dark personality types who try to control and dominate others through cruelty.

When you're struggling to open a tiny bag of chips and they get enjoyment off of seeing you struggle, MENACINGLY! 😮
What might be worth adding is what I’d call the “victim sadist.” When you criticize their cruel behavior, they have readymade deflections to try frame themselves being victimized for being called out. There’s an extra layer of cruelty in coercing someone to feel bad for them as they are enacting cruelty on that same person whom they’re beckoning for pity. Weaponizing people’s better nature against themselves.
