If you’ve ever gotten bad vibes from someone, then you know what it is to recognize that a person is kind of evil. It can happen seemingly anywhere, from a sunny coffeeshop to a shady street corner. There you are, living life, and suddenly it’s like your blood runs cold.

This is your gut telling you that someone is no good. (Yay, intuition!) Maybe you were chatting with a stranger who clearly didn’t have your best intentions at heart. Or maybe you were hanging out with a friend who was trying their damnedest to manipulate you for person gain. Whatever the circumstances were, it’s great that you were able to recognize the “evil” before anything bad happened.

Of course, you can’t assume every mildly creepy person has a cold, dark heart. Some people have been through the ringer in life, and are simply trying their best to interact. As long as no one is getting hurt or upset, then the only thing you can do is tip your hat and walk away. But what about truly bad people? Like, the ones who are “out to get you”? Below are some signs to watch out for so you can steer clear, and keep yourself safe.

1. They Take Pleasure In Other People’s Misfortune

You trip and they laugh hysterically. There’s bad news on TV, and they get out the popcorn. This, um… happy reaction to other people’s misfortune is known as schadenfreude. It’s defined as “exquisite joy and smug satisfaction from contemplating and reveling in the misfortune of others,” according to Adrian Furnham, Ph.D. on Psychology Today. Pretty creepy, to say the least.
