The pinned comment is the most important. Almost everyone I know exhibits some of these behaviors from time to time, including myself. I think it’s important for viewers to remember that these behaviors are possible indicators of covert narcissism, and as it was mentioned, and not a diagnosis. Hey, we’re all human, and we’re not perfect. It’s healthy to self-reflect on our behaviors and be conscious about how our behaviors affect the people in our lives. We can always do a little better than yesterday, learn from our mistakes, and use our experiences to cultivate happy and healthy interpersonal relationships! ❤

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.

True... kinda... They will never apologize for something that they will gain negative feedback from like shame and resentment, but they will apologize if they know they can gain something positively greater than the backlash recieved for the things they did; like attention, praise, sometimes even leveling up thier social status. Something as simple as an apology can still be used maliciously if the narc can swallow their pride for a bit and deal with the shame.

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

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?

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.

But if you ask her “if you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all” She always says “a true friend will always tell you what is wrong with you.” Then I told her “yeah a good friend only tells me what is wrong with me and basically everything is wrong with, nothing is good what I do. Then who needs enemies?” Then she said “I will be dead because of you and you will regret how you are treating me now.” I only wanted if she stopped criticizing all of my actions but she always said that so I don’t keep in touch with her. But she is still sending me gifts and she is complaining about me not saying thank you for the gifts, how evil I am. I don’t need her gifts all I want is not hearing what is bad in me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With all due respect I think you should talk to a therapist before concluding that you're a narcissist. Sometimes people appear similar because of something else going on in them. For example, Borderline Personality Disorder looks a bit similar to NPD because they're both very sensitive to criticism, they can both be self serving, they can both be passive aggressive, they can both be envious of others, and they can both hold grudges. It's worth making sure that you're not accidentally self diagnosing with something you don't have because the symptoms can look similar.

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.

Best wishes for your much improved future now you have seen the light with that former friend. As an aside, she would not be sleeping at night regardless of what she convinces herself of because Karma says that they have to live as themselves for 24 hours a day seven days a week. They have to live as that miserable, bitter, nasty and jealous person permanently whatever face mask they may have on. If they wake up at 3am and hope it was all a bad dream......no it wasn't, that really is their miserable and horrible life and they can never escape it. That is their eternal existence. Meanwhile you can get on with your good life and don't give them any thought except if you want to laugh out loud at their permanent karma.

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.

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.

For the first one, do they also take anything as criticism even when that’s not reasonable? I had this former “friend” who would take any statement of fact by other people as evidence that they thought she was stupid. For example, my old company worked with banks a lot, so when the 2023 banking collapse happened we all had to scramble and I wound up working late shifts. She asked me why I was so busy, I told her that a bunch of our partner banks had collapsed so I had a lot of work to do, and she asked how I could accuse her of not knowing how banking worked when she’d worked at a bank. No idea how she took *that* from it.

Naturally, modern ignorance of and prejudice against intimate psychic experiences dismiss them as psychic anomalies and put them in psychiatric pigeon-holes without making the least attempt to understand them. ~Carl Jung, CW 14, Page 547. Nearly everyone shows traits of narcissism from time to time. Perhaps you have a touch of self-centeredness, an occasional tendency to exaggerate your own importance, or feel envious of that successful co-worker. As isolated personality traits, these attitudes and behaviors don't necessarily mean you have NPD.

I know a narcissist (gladly I don’t keep in touch with her) I was never good enough for her. She always found something to criticize me and she always compared me to everyone else and she said I am the shame of the family. And when I fought back she always said “I will die because of you and you will regret how you are treating me know.” I used to believe something was wrong with me and I deserved all of her rudeness then I realized she is a narcissist. She thinks she is the best. An example: I went to uni and my cousin didn’t. She said my cousin is better than me because she works. I said “why is she better than me? I could work too instead of studying at uni but I want to study at uni.” Then she said “oh you look down on your cousin, how evil you are”. Then I finished my BA course and I didn’t take a master course and I went to work. And she said “you are so stupid. If other people would be as clever as you they would do a master degree.” What I wanna say when I studied at uni her problem was I didn’t work but when I work her problem is why I don’t take a master course. Who can understand that? Why is everything bad what I do? Why am I not good enough? Why are all of my plans and decisions bad in her eyes? I can’t understand that.

I think I care about other people and I try to mitigate my narcissistic tendencies by learning and recognising those signs but it's hard because I don't really know any other way how to behave/interact with others (most of it is subconscious anyway). So it is a struggle to a certain degree but I'm not sure how a person with real NPD would see it. All I want is to improve myself and try not to be a burden to others. I hope that helps.

What a load of bull crap. I consider myself a covert narcissist and only relate completely to # 6 and partially to # 7. I am always happy for others and will always help others if I'm able. I will do things to bring smiles to those I care about, just cuz it brings them a little joy. Granted, the circle is small. I consider myself covert because I'm always anxious (my entire life from teen years onward) and am always full of shame. I blame both of those on walking away from bullies and not standing up to them. I have never considered myself better than others. Actually, it's the exact opposite. I'm not jealous of others or their successes, quite the opposite. I cheer on people's successes. I've gone out of my way to remove people from my life so I don't have to disappoint them. I didn't ask to be this way. I ignore others and expect the same in return. The empathy thing is hard. I can't explain it. Maybe I should be a cop; they're the best at not giving a damn about humans.
