Something that I have been thinking about since a buddy of mine was at the wrong place at the wrong time and was in an active shooting. His friend was seriously injured and will be dealing with that injury the rest of their lives and it is affecting his mental health as well.

Is is just me or did getting shot at not change Andy at all? Other than using the shooting ad death of his friend for his own purposes, has there even been a sign that he was affected by it?

Or is he that much of a narcissist? For someone who says that he is so empathetic, he can't even pretend to care about others.

This has always bothered me. He just used it as grist for his narrative mill.
Of course I wasn't part of the daydian circle and don't know how he reacted in person but judging by his online postings he just seemed to show performative grief when it suited him.not that I'm really surprised by that.

SA. Eta: every narc I've know has had a creepy, gleeful attitude to trauma - either things happening to them or those close to them. It's a source of readymade drama and specialness, and makes them somewhat morally unassailable.
(So you get stuff like the infamous tea post, using the memory of the dead to stroke his own ego).
Their sadness is a thin veneer and the glee keeps breaking through is the only way I can describe it.

DA
Wait what tea post?

It's why theteablogger is called... the tea blogger. Basically, Andy's written multiple accounts of what happened immediately prior to Britney's murder, and in each of them, she was rinsing or refilling an electric kettle to make tea (she apparently really loved tea and had a big collection).

What KIND of tea, though, is always different depending on when he's retelling it:

Wow i didn't know any of that. God its so fucked up, like the pettiness of lying about her tea choice.
