It’s always a game of smoke and mirrors with the covert narcissist. They’re really good at pretending they love you and care about you, while secretly boosting their own ego. They make you doubt reality without you even realizing.

Recently realized that someone who I considered a close friend doesn’t care as much as they say. Their actions never lined up with their words.. they’d constantly push my boundaries and when ever I would express how I feel, they’d say “sorry you feel that way” and try to turn it around on themselves by playing the victim instead of hearing what I was trying to say. Glad I realized this sooner than later and decided distance myself from them.

They can't ever be wrong so can never apologise.

Holy crap, I know someone like this😭 This is seriously spot on! Especially the passive aggressive behavior! I also want to add “implying” to the list. They’ll never outright say these negative things to you, but they’ll sure as hell imply it.

All I can think of is how my first boyfriend actually managed to convince me that I forced him to emotionally abuse me because that's how my mom taught me how love was and how sick the first 26 years of my life was because of them both

I just never realized that narcissism was there, but I'll try not to be one of them. Because I didn't know it in the first place when I was born. The way I do and the way how I've caused. Sometimes I've been struggling to stay strong. But whenever I make mistakes, I learn from them and make the right choices. The thing is, I just didn't know that Narcissism is bad, I hope I can take actions more than only words. Thank you for this video, it did give me a lesson.

I once had an experience with this type of narcissist. I was always there for him, help him out with his problems...but that man? he was never there for me. Yes, sometimes, he would praise me, but... he would tend to ignore me. Like I was nothing, goddamit, I was his girlfriend... all because we didn't share the same interests. When we broke up, he manipulated everyone(including me) into believing it was only my fault, he painted me as a monster...and just like that, I lost a lot of friends. I didn't have anybody to turn to anymore. I was completely crushed by everyone, at the same time: some of them sent me death threats, others tried to play nice, but now I just know they were simply faking. Why does the world have to be so cruel?

2. Anyone who I say NO to and it doesn’t compute. They really are gonna go nuts when I push them out of my life. I don’t deal with pushing. I say no more than once. You done

I like how you show Gothel when you talk about narcissists/gaslighting

One Tipp: if ur intuition tells you sth is doubtful, that’s a sign. And: if you tend to feel exhausted all the time, also. If someone dares to spread rumours about you, let them! It always backfires. One thing that disgusts me personally is wanting to secretly benefiting from you and lack of empathy. Let them show you if they mean what they say! Iam not that type to be around that kind of persons and never was. I see a very insecure person that tries to blame others first that. Everyone has insecurities! If you use that to try to hurt others, they have their answers. Trust your gut: do you feel energised or drained? Do you have to be so careful in everything you say but it seems like it’s not the same in for you? Trust your gut. Do you feel Pressured in any kind of way? Don’t be afraid to call them out. Love&protect yourself ❤ You Control your reputation in the first place ❤️ And: don’t parent grown ups

Another sign is being brutally honest but they can't handle honesty. This is interesting because they simultaneously hate liars . Also , constantly telling people who they are instead of just being that. Lastly , punishing those who reject them to make themselves feel better. Rejection makes a narcissist feel worthless, and some feel they can only get their power back by seeing the person who rejected them suffer . Even if the person rejected them in the nicest way, their fragile self worth cant handle rejection in a mature way.

Thank you for your videos. With an Overt Narcissist first he may make promises to change then when that does not work, aggression, and physical violence. He will try to get you back under his control by any means necessary. You are his property no matter how many times he has cheated and left you. I had to leave the state making it more difficult for him to have access to me. This narc traveled to where I was living 5 states away and tried to drag me back cave man style. I have read that the lesser narcissist has poor cognitive function and low impulse control. Some are even capable of rape when they suffer a narcissistic injury. While I believe all narcissist can lash out violently when enraged and suffering from a narcissistic injury it is even more so with the lesser. My experience with this narcissist was even if we separated and he had moved on with a new supply source he would still come around to make sure I was not seeing anyone. If I happened to start dating he became violent even when he was engaged with someone new. Most narcissist when they are love bombing a new supply source will not want the one they discarded in the picture at least in the beginning of his new relationship. If they are engaged with a new supply source and still Hoovering you for fuel they have a sadistic streak. This narcissist cheated throughout the entire marriage. He engaged in triangulation with his first wife. She was a constant in our marriage until her suicide. The Covert Narcissist may try to come back after they have been involved in a few relationships which did not work out. When they try to come back they are low on supply and suffering from depression because of a loss of narcissistic supply. They love to tell you about the relationships they have been in and now they are smearing the person they left you for. They may tell you the person they have been in a relationship with has been abusing them. The Covert may apologize for all his past transgressions and the way he discarded you. He will have an excuse as to why he was so abusive and cruel at the end. It can play with your mind wondering if he is truly sorry. He can even have tears. You have to remember the tears are for himself. He is down and out with no available supply source. You must remember how he was at the end when he discarded you and the mask came completely off. He will seem desperate to keep you around as the Hoover takes place. And he is desperate for narcissistic supply. This is a midrange narcissist I’m talking about here and although very capable of violence he needs to put on a good show to convince you he really is a good person. This narcissist really does believe he is a good person and needs others to see him as such. If you see through this narcissist and don’t buy his story he may leave you alone. He will slink away like the snake that he is in search of new supply sources. Narcissist don’t like to waste their energy and when he sees you are not buying into it he is forced to search out new supply sources. I say forced because it is life or death to him to keep the false construct in place. In order to keep the false self in place he needs narcissistic supply. He needs the admiration of others or he ceases to exist. When you no longer buy the lie he will move on. Covert Narcissist do not display the open grandiosity of the Overt. While the Overt seems full of confidence the Covert lacks self esteem. The Covert will use a lot of pity plays working on your sympathetic nature. He wants you to feel sorry for him. The Covert is a coward. In any case Overt or Covert they suffer a narcissistic injury when they are rejected by an ex. They think they own you for life. In both cases I left the state when my marriages ended:) Additionally there is no way you can be too sure that your spouse isn’t cheating behind your back. The only way you can be sure if your spouse is cheating on you or not is “TO FIND OUT“. Get to find out about a cheating spouse with evidence to prove it by spying their mobile and thereafter gaining access to all the things they might have been hiding away from you. If you need to find out about a cheating spouse; send a request to: Metaspyhub@gmail. com

This is exactly what my former aquiantance was like. I thought he was a friend. But nah, it was one sided. I actually played video games with him and watched anime with him. We share the same hobbies. However, after 3 years of tolerating him, foolishly believing he is a "friend", I slowly learned the hard way that he is a narcissist. He only hangs out with me for various self gaining reasons. I didnt take revenge or anything along the lines. I just woke up one day and decided. Nah, I dont want to meet up with him. I dont want to see him anymore. He probably got the clue when I put all the stuff I borrowed from him in a plastic bag(a clean plastic bag) then returned it to his mother. I didnt even want to see him. I just politely asked his mother to return all his stuff to him for me please.

This sounds so much like my mom. Sometimes I worry I've developed some of her traits. I also tend to make friends with people who are like this and then wonder why I get betrayed or feel like I can't depend on anyone. I can't tell if I'm befriending narcissists because they feel familiar since my mom is one or if I'm just someone with narcissist tendencies. I do tend to hold grudges alot but I'm just really tired of one sided friendships. I can't tell if I'm a friend or just someone they can use sometimes. None of my friends have ever had my back but I've always had theirs. It's super depressing for me its hard not to feel alone.

My ex-best friend is a covert narcissist. It took me finally looking back over the 10+ year "friendship" and her disgusting destructive and jealous actions on the lead up to my wedding to see what was undoubtedly red flags that I couldn't see. I couldn't offer advice or an opinion that differed from hers because her rage was explosive, though she had no problem telling me hers in a passive-agressive cruel way. There were topics I couldnt talk about due to trauma in my past, and she ignored my requests and would constantly push my boundaries and not-really apologise when I got upset. She was so unbelievably selfish that everything she did had a price and had to benefit her, I can't remember in my recent memory where she wanted to do something for someone else just because. I often would say she had nefarious reasons to do everything and she would always get this scary look on her face. She pretended to be interested in what I had to say, but it was just a poor act until she could talk about herself again. She only pretended to care about me. The one thing that hurt the most, looking back, was that everything was a one-sided competition between us where she always tried to be better than me at everything, from the get go. I only wanted a friend, and she saw someone to dominate, control and belittle to stroke her own fragile ego. I thought we were friends, and to learn that 10+ years of my life were wasted on a 2-faced monster who'd crafted such a vast web of lies that drove other friends away hurt more than anything I had experienced before. I was so angry being made to look like a naive fool. It took months of healing to undo the chaos and stress she created around my wedding, and will probably take years to undo her conditioning to stop thinking I was the ugly pathetic friend who didn't deserve a nice house, a loving husband, or anything that brought me happiness. And through it all? Not one single apology, and I know that when I went NC with her, she spread around to her family and friends that she is the victim. And you know what, I'm ok being the villain in her story now, whatever bullcrap she has to convince herself of so she can sleep at night. Karma will come for her in the end because it always does and I won't be there to save her from it.

I find it hard to deal with these kinds of people and it's extra hard when they're your superior, I always feel drained around them

It is actually scary when such people are in the position of power. 😭

Usually people who obsessed over narcissism and hatred against narcissists are secretly narcissistic themselves. I see one of my ‘nice’ friends who has ‘narcissism’ somewhere in his top 10 vocabulary, talks about how he hates narcissistic people, he is ironically narcissistic, in a way that he portrays himself as a nice guy doing nice things for people but it’s just so that people perceive him as such. I usually don’t notice if someone is narcissistic or not, mostly because I really just don’t care. Maybe I’m immune to narcissists, cos I saw a video once about people who are immune usually don’t realise people are being narcissistic. But this friend of mine tends to care so much about other people, good and bad. Idk why he cares so much if people are narcissistic.

honestly, thank you for making these videos. as well as being educative, i find them genuinely entertaining and comforting, i know this is very off-topic, but i wanted to say it somewhere.

Idk but this person's voice is so smoothing it helps me sleep alot better than usually no matter the topic of the video

I love the Rapunzel and Gothel animation!

Hell yeah, I’m back in the time traveling!!!

Absolutely describes most of my immediate family😢 sadly realised only recently.

Do these people also have a "fake super humble " attitude?

When I first started dating my ex 2 years ago, I watched all your relationship videos thinking he was the perfect person or too good to be true. I broke up with him a year ago and I’m still healing, he was so mentally abusive. I wish you had these videos back then. I’m glad you have them now for other people.

holy shit, i just recently cut off a friend that acts EXACTLY like this, save maybe one or two things. when you’d tell them how you felt or wanted to talk about something they were doing that was bothering you, they would never make change. theyd only say stuff like “im SUCH a bad friend and im SO sorry for doing this. i promise i’ll change” immediately following it up with something along the lines of “…but i feel like i wasnt really doing that” for anyone who needs to hear this- NARCISSISTS DO NOT CHANGE. dont put your energy into somebody who takes it for granted or just doesnt deserve it all together. if they consistently show you who they truly are without putting even the slightest effort into changing for the better, they are NOT worth your energy or affection.

I’m currently trying to study the behaviours and traits of narcissists so this video really helps me thanks !! I love your Chanel so much ❤

Thank you for covering covert narcissism, I met and dated one for the first time almost 2 years ago. Escaped an abusive relationship and took legal action against them and it was HELL. Post evading them, it encouraged me to research the spectrum of narcissism.

I didn't know that I was a covert narcissist, but I often could use the skills through that can promote a healthier lifestyle. Luckily for me I am getting help to help others. There is many steps that I can take that won't necessarily be easy, but I am learning to be honest.

I'm the type of person who easily becomes envious and holds grudges and I admit that.

Just doing some light research on narcissistic traits... Turns out I accidentally stumbled upon a mirror

Been together with one for a year. It was my worst relationship ever.

Everyone has narcissistic traits. Not everyone is a full blown diagnosed narcissist though.

I really appreciate it because now I know that my friend is a narcissist and so does my enemy, TYSMM❤

I hope this video finds someone looking for answers about aspects of themselves they struggle to understand and that it inspires them to improve in ways they never imagined they needed to improve in. I hope this video can help change someone's life for the better.

Sometimes I don't take criticism well but I don't really ever think that I'm the best of anything I think I'm a jack of all trades, at least when it comes to video games

There are 2 kinds of people: 1. People who clicked on this video to find out if someone's a Covert Narcissist 2. People who clicked on this video to find out if they're a Covert Narcissist. Thanks for helping me confirm I'm a Covert Narcissist. Just recently gotten to an argument on another youtube video for making a passive-aggressive comment against someone who called me weird for no reason. I've put myself in that whole shenanigan because of my narcissism and it's not exactly something I'm proud of, even though I wasn't the one who started the whole mess, I was the one who contributed to it the most, more than any of the people I've argued with. So here's the story, it all started because I expressed a different opinion or perspective that someone named Kobalt targeted me by saying I'm weird af to which I responded with "aren't we all". That's where I made a mistake and just wished I ignored him because it just went downhill from there, until more people started responding to me negatively, attacking me, and trolling me as I continue to go on for 6 months constantly responding to different people in essay formats to which I'm also made fun of and called out for. The other half of the issue is, people were responding to me over past arguments and newly created ones and calling me out for trying to defend myself and not letting go of the situation when they wouldn't even let me as I was backed into a cornered by everyone to which I finally just gave up, and just deleted all of my comments just yesterday to stop people from reigniting previous arguments to ignite a new one. No one won the cycle of endless arguments, I ended it for my sake instead. I didn't want to continue being rude or a nuisance to anyone unlike most people who have been towards me. I'm very passive-aggressive, so to add insult to injury, the same person who started it by calling me weird, got the last laugh by saying "BLUD DELETED ALL OF HIS COMMENTS LMFAO". I only did that because it was for the best for everyone especially for my sake, but as a narcissist, I wanted to say something back at him real bad, but I've already calmed down and have already gotten past my anger tantrum and told myself to just let him be. I didn't want to ignite a new argument, so for once I listened to myself and did the wise decision. That said, I made contact with some people, and there it is. I am sensitive to criticism, because I don't like when people target me then say stuff when I had done nothing wrong but express a different opinion to which I'm called weird. I don't take no for an answer. People said, "Don't give up" and I took that personally... Now I'm receiving backlash for constantly defending myself against everyone's bs. My motivations are self-gain. Keep responding until I win in an argument. Just so you know, I haven't won any, and when I did, it was all for nothing. I act passive-aggressively. No doubt. I'm easily envious of others. Yeah, I don't like it when I get ratio'ed on youtube comments. I easily have difficulty with empathy. This is a different story, so it's up to you if you're still willing to read, and just so you know, this is how long my essay formats are when responding to trolls I've been in contact with for the past 6 months in the recent argument I just mentioned. You're free to believe it or not, but that's how petty I am, and it's a personal problem of mine that I'm still dealing with. So for this, I always thought I was an empathetic person even now, then I remembered a moment from 3 years ago when my classmate took the blame for someone else's failure and told the teacher she was the leader when she really wasn't to which the teacher scolded her for it and cried on our way back to our classroom. She was my seatmate, so I was there and I wanted to support her and make her feel better, and even tried to force myself to cry with her since it just felt like I should, but I just didn't know how. If anything, I actually didn't know what to do at all. So I was left sitting there beside my crying classmate and just staring at her as tears felt down after having her feelings hurt. This is why I hate strict teachers. To them, they are disciplining students and handling situations professionally, but in my eyes, they always let their anger and feelings get the best of them and put themselves first before kids. They do not care when kids cry. They don't even respond to them. And when they do, they try to convince that they are good people who are just doing what's best for us. This is where my I tend to hold a lot of grudges, sometimes it's when they hurt my feelings, but at other times, when they hurt my friend's feelings. But because I'm egotistical, I tend to lose more control of myself when someone triggers me. I swear whenever I experience specific difficulties in my life, I always find a Psych2Go video that is exactly what I need to improve myself, or simply just to relate.

I married a covert narcissist, they are no less aggressive or angry as an overt, you just don’t get it at first, took five years for mine to show her true self

I think another sign that may have been worth mentioning as its own point is the constant need to be the centre of attention. Watch out for people who can't do other people's birthday parties, weddings, graduation parties etc. If you know someone who is consistently and conspicuously absent from, or seems uncomfortable or acts inappropriately at events that are about another individual, that's a sign. Narcissists can't stand not having the spotlight on them, and those are events where the spotlight is purposely fixed on another person, which drives the narcissist crazy.

Hey Py2go! I would really like to see a vid talking about the difference between someone that is self absorbed and a narcissist.

Thank you for making this video.

im not diagnosing her or anything but my mom is this way and there’s even more to it that she does and has done. im so tired, i’ve been dealing with so much from her all of my life and she raised me to be a bad person. i try my best not to be but im sensitive although i try to not make it anyone else’s problem. i apologize when im wrong and i make sure the other person doesn’t feel like they have to trust me again or forgive me. i isolate myself because it feels like the only way everyone can be safe from me. i feel like im about to burst into tears when im in public and especially when i have to talk to people. i dont know how to even talk to about it to my therapist because i feel so guilty for so much that i cant say. i avoid a lot of things, even things that i didnt do, i avoid them so much that i forget im avoiding them because it’s all i know and i become overwhelmingly afraid when they come up. im afraid to speak up for myself because when i did she played the victim and made me look like a liar. ive taken desperate measures to escape and i still do. it’s hard to function like this with this and years of undiagnosed adhd and years of things i wont say. that’s why im a fangirl. i have hyperfixations and idk why that’s a adhd symptom but i do know it’s largely because the fandoms make me feel less alone. i had to scream to be heard and it was still hardly enough. im heard more now but i never was taught what love means by her or anyone. i couldn’t tell if people liked me but i know i didn’t understand why they could. i know they did but it still feels like a lie and im scared that may never change.

I am also a narcissist i guess cause i do have all of this features i do it with my friends my bf and even with my parents and i hurt them very much that i don't want to do it but i can't stop it from happening i tried but nothing is changing i don't know can narcissist people ever change.

Thank you, Pysch2go for all the videos that you post. Your videos have helped me realize how I act towards others, even when I don’t try. I’ve now been asking myself if I’ve been doing any of these things and if I should improve. (Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I am just terrible at explaining things. I hope you get what I’m trying to say)

Thank you for the video, I recognize this pattern in a person I know.😊

Thank you for sharing 🌹🌷🌺

My former best friend. Thank you for making this, I hope it helps other people identify this.

All these are my recent ex. I was familiar with Overt but COVERT NARCISSIST is a whole different monster.

I just want to say that not every narcissistic person is like that. In my surrounding are a lot of people how seem narcissistic, and some of them are, but I experience them as very kind and emotional persons. They often putting other’s needs before their own needs without any advantage for themselves. They listen to you and care for you. A lot of narcissists can be like the ones who were described in the video but just for an reminder, not all of them are like that

I must say, I absolutely adore the image of a sly smile on the narcissist's face as she gazes at her own reflection in the mirror ☺

My dad checks 5 of these boxes that I know of. Explains a lot

Do a video on parental alienation. Please, spread the awareness.

Ironically many of the traits are overlapping those of someone with ASD or CPTSD. The main difference is the motivation. Coverts are motivated by gain and exploitation while scheming to appear a victim, tgey csn never be the agressor-, contrast this with masking of ASD which can result angry melt downs followed by a deep feeling of shame, that makes rejection and criticism even more excruciating. Playing a caractor for pity's sake vs putting on a false mask to the world to survive in it. Acting like THEY drove you to a very half hearted "suicide" attempt as part of the discard VS actually and seriously attempting while letting only the very closest ones know, if at all. If a "sucessful" autist meets a CNPD the result is hell on earth, and the NP will commonly trigger meltdowns on ourpose to retain access to resources and shame their victim, the discard is absolutely scorched earth once they find new supply, even worse everyone believes you were the abuser because their abuse is long term mental punishment while your melt down results in raw anger that can get everybody to see you as bad.

Yup.... One more. They are every one else's friend except yours and you should be greatful.❤

I'll remind people that a narcissist has narsassitic personality disorder and a mental health condition. They aren't all bad people either. I say this as a man who was married (and nearly killed) by a narsasitic exwife. She got diagnosed shortly after our divorce apologised and is getting help. They need it, too.

What could I do, if it happens that I might be a Covert Narcissist?

The video was posted 21 minutes ago, with comments from 1 year ago, with 355 veiws....👀👀👀🧐🧐🧐

My daughter's father is a covert narcissist. If anything, I think they are the far more dangerous type, as they are far better at fooling people about their true nature until it's too late. He nearly killed me before I took my baby and left.

I have a friend who shows big signs of Covert narcissism. After months of trying we finally made him seek a therapist, but he kept saying that he was doing it for us and not himself. Finally, he's going to the therapist for himself and not for us. Another friend told him that he showed signs of Covert narcissism, so he took that up with his therapist. His therapist does have that in mind too. My friend group is trying to learn more about it as well, cause he's getting worse and worse, we're all at our limits. So this video is a good help for us. And now it's time to find a way to get better mentally, cause dealing with what we have been dealing with for months is mentally exhausting. Also gonna say, that our own mental health is not a good enough reason to stay back apparently. That is wrong. Your own mental health always comes before everyone else's. You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others

For those who are self diagnosing according to this video, I'd say be careful and seek professional help before doing that.

This is definitely me. 😮😢 not fun with all my hurt feelings and shit, makes sense why I get so butthurt sometimes

Love the animation

Another one for the list: They laugh at others more than with them but very subtly make it seem friendly. It's only some time afterwards your brain will be confused and unpack that what they were saying sounds and looks like it was for fun but there is a real malice and lack of empathy and are really trying to tear someone down or humiliate them without repercussions.

Could you make a video about the differences between Covert Narcissism and BPD please?

Can tou do stage fright,or not ebogn beign able to be with people.I have trouble after loosing confidence,and even when its gone up i cant perform or even stand infrotn of people.Its really setting me back

Expectation of mirroring, but immediate rejection of mimicry. Want to be admired, but mercy forbid you be too like them. Often applied to their children & siblings.

I was curious how AI will deal with this issue, and here we go: Dealing with covert narcissism can be challenging, but here are some steps you can take: 🌀 Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to protect yourself from manipulation or exploitation. 🌀 Stay Grounded: Remind yourself of your own worth and reality. Covert narcissists often try to undermine your self-esteem. 🌀 Limit Interaction: If possible, minimize contact with the narcissist to reduce their negative impact on your life. 🌀 Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or a therapist for validation and guidance on how to handle the situation. 🌀 Avoid Confrontation: Confronting a covert narcissist directly may lead to defensiveness or retaliation. Choose your battles wisely. 🌀 Focus on Self-Care: Prioritize your well-being by engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. 🌀 Educate Yourself: Learn more about narcissism and manipulation tactics to better understand and protect yourself. Remember, dealing with a covert narcissist requires patience and resilience. Prioritize your own mental and emotional health throughout the process.

My children's father displays some of these behaviors... especially PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE behaviors and EXTREME SENSITIVITY and wanting everyone to side with him....he doesn't have an opinion about a lot of things but I'll later find out how he really feels about stuff through my children....he looks to get upset and SHUTDOWN over the smallest of things.... It's hard to explain in a text and I'm not sure if he's a covert narcissist but in my opinion I think he is or he has covid covert narcissistic tendencies.....looking forward to moving out before the summer.

4:01 my sister still gives me guff for a nutcracker I broke when I was 3, I've bought her like 10 replacement ones, but if nutcrackers comes up in conversation she'll try to guilt me all over again

Spot on ❤

I don't know if I'm a covert narcissist and I don't really want to get into what the hell is going through my head But I am aware that in my less sociable form I compare myself to others and maybe I don't put them down but I do feel a little bad and I also behave in an aggressive pessimistic way (This is not the whole picture so I ask not to draw conclusions that evene I dont know if they are correct or not) But thanks for the video, now I can look up when exactly I behave this way to try to understand where it comes from

I think I have some of this behaviors Im gonna work on myself

People who are victims of narcissistic abuse, take on all the affections and traits of a narcissist. I have most of these qualities. However, I do not lie cheat, steal, gaslight abuse, people, or do shitty things and I do take no for an answer so this needs to be a little more defined.

I am sensitive with criticism ( cause I know I have some below average features in my body) I take no for an answer answer not all my motives are for self gain I never acted passive aggressively I get envious but do not act upon any sabotage I hold grudges a lot I have empathy a lot. this is to remind me that I am not a narcissist as my husband one time said

They have cognitive empathy (not authentically feel other people's emotions) which means, they are extremely accurate at spotting your "buttons" to manipulate you. They're always pretending something that they're not, serving a certain role, they become this role, using people and relationships for feeding their fragility

I’ve never heard of this😓

I was watching this and thinking isn't everyone like this? I need help

passive-aggressiveness is the only hint you can notice, everything else gets easily concealed

This was my ex to a “T”. She used to suffer from severe constipation, but would tell me it was because her body processed food more efficiently and I should be more like her.

I'm in a trauma bond with one. Its Like harley quinn and the joker. I'm exhausted

at 5:11 Of course... it is important that you timely recognize what the other person is, and take steps against further abuse. Don't wait for the diagnosis of a professional, because the narc won't pay the professional a visit. Especially if you want that to happen.

this is just everyday people in everyday life, not a disorder

That voice tho goddd dayumm

Great vid as always! But just one question, how do you tell a covert narc to get help? I know one person that has these traits, but no matter how well-intended I may be, they'll always take any comment or advice as a personal attack.

All of these can be true for anybody or can be moments when these traits come out...

Okay!

Yes and they are equally ot even more dangerous
