It would be fantastic if a narcissist could stay in the same mood for a minute, maybe two. It would be even better if they would stop trying to confuse us all by pretending to be nice.

But what is that niceness? Why do they do it? And what is it for?

“Nice Fake Smile”

All narcissists have what I call a nice fake smile.

It’s an excellent way to tell apart a narcissist or a psychopath from any other sane person who is not wearing a mask.

They don’t experience emotions like other people, so they must fake their expressions instead.

If you look carefully you can catch it in the same places a shark will tell you without speaking that you are for lunch.

That massive smile that they wear never quite reaches their eyes. It stays there almost like it’s floating on their face.

Because despite what’s coming out of their mouth, their facial expression never changes.

This continues as you talk to them, and it starts to get weird when what they’re saying no longer matches their expression.
