👉 Sadists are individuals who engage in behaviors that cause harm or discomfort to others, often through deceit, manipulation, or violence. Sadists may use their power and control over others to manipulate them into performing tasks or engaging in activities that they find uncomfortable or distressing. They may also seek to gain power or control over other people by using threats, intimidation, or coercion. Sadists are considered dangerous and should be avoided if possible.
