Narcissists Illustrated: Lance Armstrong

A Sociopath's version of an apology is

"Why were you stupid enough

to believe what I told you?"

or

"Why aren't you smart enough to

doubt everyone and be suspicious?"

or

"You're the vulnerable and naive one;

I'm not responsible for how you respond

to my deeply deceptive machinations."

or

"You kind of asked to be abused

and taken advantage of, really."

But never,

never-ever

Never will you hear

"I was wrong."

or

"I'm truly sorry."

or

"What can I do to make it up to you?"

The 'blame-the-victim'

and
'I'm so misunderstood'

rift is the closest these guys get

to (feigned) remorse, kids!
