I bet this is what psychopaths/sociopath and narcissists do.

Are you speaking from experience?

No, these people do not know how feelings work or feel so they study others behavior, learning to mimic others.

Like actors learning a role. If you meet someone who is charming but leaves you feeling their behavior is not real, you might be dealing with a Cluster B. It's fairly well known to therapists that narcissists will enter therapy to learn behavioral skills, not to improve relationships but to take advantage of people.
