predatory behavior

Predatory behavior refers to actions taken by an individual or group to exploit, manipulate, or harm others for personal gain. This can occur in various contexts, such as in relationships, business, or nature. For example, a predator in the wild hunts and consumes prey, while in human interactions, it might involve deceit, harassment, or taking advantage of someone's vulnerability. Predatory behavior often seeks power or resources at the expense of others, and it’s characterized by a lack of empathy or concern for the well-being of those being harmed. Understanding this behavior can help individuals recognize and avoid such situations.
