6 Weird Things Covert Narcissists Do
Episode description
Many high performers and overachievers tend to find themselves in toxic relationships. They often have a really hard time speaking out about it because it’s seen as a failure or taboo. They often don’t want to admit that there’s something wrong because that would mean that they have personally failed in the relationship.
Remember, it’s healthy to talk about it! This is something you shouldn’t be embarrassed about. People with a narcissistic personality tend to have an inflated sense of superiority over themselves, they tend to be self-centered, and manipulative. They also crave attention and acknowledgement that can be controlling or abusive.
Covert narcissists tend to appear quiet and introverted. They have fragile self-esteem and they depend on the admiration of others. They want to prove that they’re better than other people and they often compare themselves to other people. They also feel victimized when they see someone else succeed. Covert narcissists tend to also fly under the radar.
Victims of this type of narcissist often get blindsided because there were no glaring red flags at first, which leads them to being abused for years or even decades later. Don’t be fooled by their quiet demeanor! They can be just as cunning and damaging as an overt narcissist.
