Sadistic Personality Types - Tyrannical Sadism

There are four subtypes of Sadistic Personality. In this video Darren Magee outlines the characteristics of one of those subtypes, Tyrannical Sadism. Typical characteristics include getting pleasure from other people's suffering, controlling through inflicting pain and humiliation and acts of aggression and violence.
It is also quite often a behaviour which co occurs with, among other things, narcissistic personality and psychopathy.

If you need support for being abused there are some helpful links below.

This perfectly describes an ex who messed me up for decades. The look of excitement and joy at knowing he hurt me was something I'll never forget. How anyone can be this way is beyond me, but thank you for naming it and explaining it.

This is how my mother behaves. She punishes those who challenge her attempts to control them. She is not afraid to get loud and violent in public. She seems to enjoy seeing others cower and submit to her. Her favorite saying is, “It serves you right.” She makes no apologies. She takes pride in her fights with others.

My Narcissistic husband loves to hurt me he gets excited the glee on his face he makes you cry then Mocks you for crying it very horrible! Then he will tell me to get over it !

[jodiburnett]

My father, uncle, and sister, and ex husband were absolute terrorists.
As I’ve learned about narcissistic abuse,
I’ll be recovering forever.
Thank you for this clarity.

The subjects I talk about are requested by you the viewer. Please feel free to suggest any topics you might like me to cover in future videos.

Thank you. I was in a terrible, powerless situation in my family for several years. I have had a hard time forgiving myself for "letting" them do that to me.

Sadly, this 'sadism' topic is important and I appreciate your videos explaining it.

[karavictoria]

This so helpful. When in a situation with one of these people with this trait, it is important to be compassionate with yourself that you have not fought for yourself or your rights. Being conditioned not to ask for what you want and need was punishment enough. Being healthy and having healthy expectations in others has become very foreign. It takes healing and safe relationships to undo the damage caused by these folks. Trust in yourself is the first foundation to rebuild. As you keep promises to yourself and others and reconnect with your personal worth: that lays the foundation for learning to trust others again. Be patient, it takes time and courage. Answers do come to the heart with the courage to ask "what is the next right step?"

These people are satisfied of themselves and feel powerfull and in control when they can get a reaction from others, any reaction, and pain and distress is better from there point of view... maybe because it's more intense and dramatic. My understanding is that they need, compulsively, to inflict pain in others because they feel so powerless themselves. These people have difficulties accepting reality and they make others responsible for everything even when it doesn't make any sense.

I went no contact with the narcissistic family cult( thank you so much for naming it!) For me, it's much simpler. My mother is the cult leader. She is filled with demons. She's a vessel because no one individual has that power. There is an evil force behind it. There in no love, no truth, no empathy, blind rage, envy. All the characteristics of satan. I have always been the truth teller, truth seeker, intuitive, which obviously made me the scapegoat! What it does to the nervous system, from birth, is horrendous. It's not of this world. It's pure and utter evil. As a mother, it's my natural instinct to protect and love my children no matter how I'm suffering inside. In a just and fair society, parents like that deserve to be locked up. When you awaken to the whole truth, the pain is overwhelming and of course, so much regret but you can recover( never completely) and use it for good, put your hand out to lift somebody else up in a system that was designed to destroy lives. We are in a world where liars and psychopaths are celebrated and truth is despised. Within the demonic system, there's people like you Darren, who dedicate their lives to fixing the trauma inflicted on people. Every citizen in the world is being gaslighted by their own government. Most people don't recognise it. People like myself were built for this moment! Love your videos. You nail it everytime! Thank you.

Not crazy... at last, some answers. Thank you. This is my (small, limited, lonely, stressed) life. Everything. Such a relief.
And to listen to it being described so accurately is painful. And necessary.

[shocksemler]

Oh my gosh as another viewer said I too had an ex boyfriend that you describe perfectly. This was in the mid 70’s and there were no agencies back then to help. I involved the police 2 different times but even then it was his word against mine. Such horrible memories. Fortunately I got away from him. I felt that he would eventually kill me. It’s a very complex story and too much to go into. Thank you so much for bringing this “mental illness” to light.

That was my older sister when we were kids. Our parents didn't believe me and/or failed to stop her. Credit to her : she's grown into a kind adult, but the damage to both of us has been immense.

[rosalynmoyle]

This type isn't my sibling, they are one of the others, but the comment they cant hold it in, the delight they take from hurting is part of my trauma history which I am working on with a qualified therapist.

[hissyfitz]

You’ve described my sister at every level. I could give a list of her tyrannical behaviors but it would take too long. The AUDIO WAS AWESOME! Thanks 🙏🏻

[beckyreynard]

I really enjoy your videos. It clear, precise and very easy to understand. 👍🏼

[fburnsDubstepEnderFox]

Describes some two people I do not consider parents but breeders instead.

[wisegentle]

you have perfectly described my mother and two ex-husbands

[alexbaird]

Some family members and numerous work colleagues fit this profile.

What You are describing here are the traits of the leader of Russia. Could you please suggest how to deal with him and others of this kind? What to do when you can't find the place to escape from narcissists and psychopaths? The world seems to sleep in denial, not fully acknowledging the real truth and the real threat of nuclear... No contact is already impossible.
