As I've said before, for most of my life I always thought that like music, there were only two kinds of people...good and bad, but I've refined it to think that the two kinds of people are narcissists and non-narcissists. Narcissists' brains aren't wired for things like empathy, remorse or guilt, so it doesn't matter to them what they do, and in their twisted way of thinking, if they hurt someone it's that person's fault.
If you see someone being charged for a violent crime, you can bet dollars to donuts they're a narcissist. The lies, denials, blaming everything else in the Universe for their shit, the condescending attitude, pathetic need for control, the false air of superiority...it's all there on full display.
One of the narcissist's trademark tactics is fake crying, with no tears. They know that only genuine crying produces tears, so it's a trip to see them do anything they can to get a little moisture. They'll rub their eyes vigorously, at least trying to make them red if not wet. They'll dab their eyes with their hand and then look at it to see if they've managed to squeeze out a tear, which of course they haven't.
You might not believe this but it's true...narcissists will literally practice "crying" in front of a mirror. They don't possess or understand the emotions that cause real crying but they know that it gets a response so they work on their technique. The sounds they make as they imitate crying are hilarious. It's a comedy show.
An interrogator who understands narcissism can play them like a fiddle. They'll point out that there are no tears, which pisses the perps off. A couple of classic excuses I've heard for why there are no tears are "I'm all cried out" and "I'm beyond tears." What's beyond tears? Dry crying?
What I really love is when they're in the interrogation room after committing some heinous crime and they're trying to lie their way out of it and pretending to cry. They ask for some Kleenex but are given a roll of toilet paper instead.
It's perfect and totally appropriate. They might as well wipe themselves, because they're total pieces of shit.
