Is it healthy to make the decision not to cry over a past relationship with a narcissist or is it more beneficial to allow the pain to emerge?

Yes, it is better to hold back the tears but you know what you need to do. Forgive... and move on. No, it's best to cry, scream from the roof tops you are free and move on! Tears are for a reason and it relieves all the pent-up sorrow and anger. A good cry makes you sleepy because your body is more relaxed and then you start to heal. It depends if you feel the need to cry do so because its not healthy to hold a cry in. But if you can seriously go without the tears save yourself the stress and drama. Now don't go and cry over what you can't change if any thing you should cry because you except what you can not change it might hurt and might not but either way you should come out stronger in the end. I think that is a very interesting question. The only reason I can imagine you would want to hold back from crying over something hurtful is if you perceive crying as some sort of admittance to harm, and therefore furthering the damage. I think you should let it all out and be thankful that the human body is equipped with a release valve. Crying should only speed up the healing process that needs to take place. However, I would definitely not let the narcissist know you're hurting.

Do narcissists or people with PDs try to rekindle relationships even if they've been dumped?
A "true" narcissist will always, without fail, attempt to hang onto any relationship in which the narcissist gains "narcissistic supply." A "true" narcissist will not be deterred! They will do what it takes, say what it takes and follow-up with whatever actions are necessary to hang onto narcissistic supply. They will attempt to rekindle the broken relationship because they do not accept the fact that the relationship is over. If you respond in any manner...ie...phone calls, text messages, letters...etc...the narcissist accepts this as proof that he still holds some interest in your life. He will remain relentless in his attempt to gain any attention whatsoever from his supply...ie...you! You may find it flattering that someone seems so attached to you that they will do anything to keep you around, but just know that you are not a human being in the sense that we are human beings. People, to the "true" narcissist", are simply objects in which to gain the attention they so desperately crave. If you can accept that fact (and it is a fact) feel free to continue a relationship with a narcissist. However, if you ever wish to have a meaningful and intimate relationship, you should search out and find a healthy human being. The narcissist will always be a narcissist and there is nothing in the world that will change that fact. Nothing! It is unfortunate because, generally speaking, narcissists are talented, charming and successful people. They simply do not possess empathy or compassion for any human on the planet. Those emotions are not present in the narcissist nor will they ever become present. The part of the psychological make up found in normal-healthy minds is absolutely missing in the narcissist. EXAMPLE: If a person were born without legs, that person could have artificial legs attached. However, the artificial legs will never "grow" naturally. A person born without empathy or the capacity to love does have the ability to observe the behaviors of others who feel empathy and love. The narcissist can learn to mimick the behaviors of empathy and love. The narcissist will never have the ability to "grow" feelings of empathy or love. That simple!

I'm doubtful that laughter is healthy by definition; there is 'gallows laughter', and laughter that is derisive and mean-spirited. But the physiological activity of laughter is beneficial to our bodies, and in the right context it is emotionally beneficial as well.
