Yes, narcissists do have the capacity to cry, though the reasons behind their tears may differ from those of a non-narcissist. While non-narcissists may cry due to genuine sadness or emotional suffering, narcissists may cry to manipulate or gain sympathy from those around them. As such, it's important to recognize the difference between the two types of crying and not be fooled by what may seem like genuine emotion.

Question: Do narcissists ever feel regret?

Yes, narcissists are capable of feeling regret. This emotion can manifest due to a variety of reasons, such as a sense of failure or disappointment in not achieving a desired outcome, or remorse over a hurtful action. Narcissists may experience regret, but may be unwilling to express it outwardly. In some cases, their regret may be buried beneath their inflated sense of self-importance or false pride. It is important to note that regret is not the same as guilt or remorse, and can often be used as a tool for manipulation.
