Yep. I was naive for a very long time. My default is to help others before myself, so I truly couldn't put my brain in the mind of people who have no problem hurting others, and chose to believe they didn't exist or there weren't that many of them.
Then I met one and spent more than a month with them. It's almost like a different species. They love torturing, twisting the knife. They absolutely have zero qualms about destroying others. You cannot reason with them, even though you want to believe you can. They will exploit any weakness, take you for everything you have, leave you on the side of the street and laugh about it.
