Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

    It’s interesting that you engage in attacks and then ask for a discussion. (I wonder if me saying that will cause you to again say found the psych 101 student.)

      The attack is warranted. Seriously, the article you posted is about as reliable as an astrology chart.

      I was wrong to call you the Psych 101 student, since you weren’t doing the Psych 101 student behavior I described. “They’re not the same thing” is more of a typical social media comment from someone who simply likes to argue, as you’re continuing to do. Not interested.

            Did you know that narcissists and sociopaths tend to target autists and depressives at higher rates than nearly any other at-risk grouping? Did you know their primary tactic is to use the autist’s natural social awkwardness and lack of guile against them to shame them publicly to demoralize them into submission?

            It’s really interesting to read about, the case studies, the behavioral theories. Hell it even ties into anthropology.

            And do you know what? It works really well!

            Thats why sociopaths rule the world right now!

            Congrats your ilk won, and look at the utopian paradise you neoliberal social rapists have created
