You know, I have created tons of material on why narcissists are demonic in nature. It’s not that I’m obsessed with this buzzword or that I enjoy the hype it creates; it’s because of my experiences. It’s because of what I’ve heard from thousands of people I’ve had the opportunity to work with. The stories I’ve witnessed have not only surprised me, but they have also convinced me that these individuals lack a human soul. There is nothing human about them because their actions make them demonic. The way they treat others, the harm they cause, and their complete lack of empathy is what makes them so demonic.
Today, I’m going to talk about something that goes beyond just a mask slipping. I will reveal their demonic nature by providing examples that you yourself may have experienced with them.
Chapter 1: The Weaponized Smile
The first thing that always strikes me is how they weaponize a smile. It’s not just any smile; it’s so charismatic, charming, subtle, and magnetic that it makes anyone think they’re in the presence of someone genuine. This smile is usually found on the faces of covert narcissists, including my mother, who had this typical smile that made her incredibly attractive. There’s a pull to it that I cannot explain in words. When you experience that smile, regardless of who the narcissist is, you feel like there’s something good in them, almost like they exude an angelic vibe. It’s captivating.
But the moment that smile disappears, everything changes. It feels like you’re suddenly talking to someone empty, hollow, and dark inside, as if their eyes die instantly. The switch is flipped, and you feel like the person is capable of committing heinous acts without remorse. This shift isn’t just Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; it’s a smile they wear almost all the time. When that smile fades, you see the ugliest truth—not in the traditional sense, but in a way that feels profoundly off and horrifying. It gives you chills.

Chapter 2: When You Cry in Front of Them

Crying in front of them is also quite common with covert narcissists. My mother would pretend to be an empath and a kind human being. When someone opened up about their pain, she would often flip the script, making it about herself instead of offering genuine empathy. She would take away their role, almost saying, “You can’t be the victim. No, no, no. I am the victim. That’s the role I play best.”
Another baffling aspect is how they seem bored when you open up. Covert narcissists who aren’t psychopathic or sadistic often feel bored by your pain. They might yawn or start talking to someone else while you’re crying, just as my mother did.
Some narcissists, like my father, would get angry. He would say things that would worsen the situation, like, “I must not see you crying. If you cry, I will make sure you cry for real.” It was a double whammy: he would hurt you but then wouldn’t allow you to shed a tear. How can they be human? This is why I feel compelled to say they’re demonic. They destroy you without empathy, remorse, or guilt.
Chapter 3: Mimicking Your Pain
The third thing they do is mimic your pain. If you’re heartbroken, crying, and falling apart in front of them, they may mock you, showing a complete lack of humanity. They project their own feelings onto you, assuming you must be seeking attention. My mother would often pretend to listen or yawn. If that didn’t work, she would mimic how others were crying, displaying a shocking inhumanity.
If that is not demonic nature, what is? If that’s not non-human, then what is?
Chapter 4: At Funerals and When Someone Dies

When someone dies, there’s often nothing on their face—no emotion, zero. Some can pretend, but if you pay attention to their eyes and expressions, you’ll see nothing. They aren’t feeling pain. Instead, they often become angry, wanting to redirect attention to themselves. They might say things like, “What do you want me to say? What do you want me to do now?”
I’ve watched narcissists at funerals, and it’s deeply disturbing. While everyone else is grieving, they check their phones or look around with absolute boredom. Worse, they may calculate how to use the situation to their advantage. They might suddenly break down dramatically, not out of sadness, but to hijack the grief and make it about them.
They can even compete with the deceased, sharing how much they cared or how they truly understood the person who died, turning someone else’s funeral into their personal drama. They lack the ability to participate in the shared human experience of grief, observing it like researchers studying an alien species.
Chapter 5: The Demonic Laughter
Lastly, there’s the demonic laughter. When they see you triggered or falling apart, they get excited and laugh. My father would do this; they drive you to madness and then revel in it. Imagine two narcissists fighting, with one trying to have the upper hand while the other exaggerates their pain. Just when the psychopathic narcissist knows they’ve won, that laughter becomes demonic.
It’s not a nervous laugh, but a predatory one that chills you to the bone. They push you until you snap, say hurtful things, and when you react—crying, screaming, or breaking down—that’s when they laugh. It’s as if they’ve been waiting for this moment, and your breakdown is their entertainment.
Sometimes, they’ll even record you during your breakdown to gaslight you later. They create fake evidence of your pain to use against you. How is that human behavior?
In my opinion, you cannot claim to be human and intentionally cause pain while enjoying your destruction. You must be chaotic and rotten inside, devoid of a soul. Spiritually speaking, this is what evil means in the most literal sense.
