as posted by the channelWATCH Why Narcissists Cry at the MoviesSelfpity, not Empathy

Partly Machiavellian emotional blackmail, guilt-tripping, and triggering empathy and maternal instincts.
Self-pity triggers splitting and psychopathic protector self-state (reminiscent of processual mechanism in MPD).
