For me, the covert narcissist comes across as a people pleaser. They like to be in the spotlight to get the validation that they crave for, as other narcissists but at the same time, they pretend to be humble, simple, generous, over giving. The covert narcissist will take time to build a relationship/friendship with you. During this period, they will show their admiration and their devotion by helping you with everything that is you need. They will try to convince you that you are soulmates and that they understand you deeply. At the same time, you will see them being overly altruistic, maybe helping society by engaging in charities, activism. They feed the poor, take care of the homeless. All this makes you think how lucky you are for having met such a beautiful soul. You want to be by their side for ever. However, soon you notice how much they enjoy being invited in galas to talk about their achievements. But they don’t admit that. They still play the humble guy who doesn’t want all this. Who is beyond money, beyond fame and recognition, who wants to share the floor with other people. But their acts don’t match their words. You come to realise that this selfless soul is actually doing whatever it takes to be in the centre of attention. When you do something together be it at work or at home, they want to control everything about it. They just exerce their control in a more polite and implicit way, making you believe that your voice was heard whereas in reality you did what they wanted you to do. Covert narcissists have a smooth way of leading you on. They don’t shout, they don’t give orders. They are master actors. They convince you that you are together in this. What makes them a narcissist is that when the time comes for them to use you in order to draw certain benefits, they will do it without a second thought and you are not going to believe in your eyes. And when you stand up for yourself and raise your voice against them calling them for their phony identity, then you will see their rage for the first time and the mask will fall. Covert narcissists manipulate less with rage/exhibiting superiority and more with people pleasing behaviour/playing the eternal victim. They are not aggressive as overt narcissists. They are more cunning. What they both have in common is self-centered ness and lack of empathy. In the case of coverts, it will take you longer to find out.They knew what they wanted to get out of you from the beginning. They created a whole theatre play to fool you about who they are and their true motives. You will trust them with all your heart but when the time comes for them to prove their loyalty by choosing your bond over their personal gain, they will choose the latter with no remorse, without even taking any responsibility. Unlike the overt narcissist, they will have an eloquent excuse for doing so, rationalizing why they had to f@ck you over. They will pretend to be sorry about it because this is something that matches the image of modesty that they want to project but in reality they are not sorry at all. You will see them partying with your own money when they said they didn’t have enough to pay you back. You will see them being unfair and untrustworthy to other people as well. When the mask of the victim will fall, you will see the cruel smile of a perpetrator who managed to get what they want without deserving it. If you decide to unmask them run for your life. Additionally, The unwavering support and dedication demonstrated by BarryInvestigation@gmail. com have been pivotal in my journey to uncover the painful truth surrounding my partner's infidelity. From the moment I first reached out to them, their professionalism and unwavering commitment to assisting me in finding the answers I desperately sought were readily apparent and highly commendable. Through their swift action and meticulous investigation, They presented me with compelling evidence that left no room for doubt. Armed with this newfound knowledge, I confronted my cheating partner with newfound courage, reclaiming my self-worth and paving the way for a future filled with renewed hope. Throughout this emotionally challenging process, Barry's expertise and unwavering support served as a constant source of strength, offering invaluable guidance and empathetic understanding when I needed it the most. I am profoundly grateful for their unwavering assistance, as it has empowered me to move forward with unwavering determination and newfound resilience.

She got really angry and said I’d betrayed the friendship..... I had to stop going around to see her because she always set up “scenes” of hellish stress when on her own. She only behaved badly when we were alone, in company she was her usual self. Then it got so much worse to the point she started being vile towards me in front of others if she had the slightest excuse to do so. I wish I’d known this back then.

The Covert Narcissist will walk all over you image in public and more. Behind closed doors, my wife became extremely aggressive and would confront me on any perceived discretion. Publicly you will not see this aspect of her. Covert Narcissists are masters of the silent treatment, triangulation and gaslighting.

Hi David...my mouth fell open when I read your comment. I am 59 and recently found out that there was a name for what my mom's 'problem' was(besides the name I called it!)...narcissism. My mom has lied about her 3 kids our entire lives and we basically have no relationships with any family members because of her. I have one daughter who doesn't have a father or father's family who will be all alone when I die because of my mother working our whole lives to see to it that she controlled what everyone thought of us. Nobody would believe anything we said so nobody will ever know what she was like when others were not around. My brother had an extremely short marriage to someone just like mom except the ex-wife was overt. I have never heard anyone make the comment about the rest of their family being alienated before so I wanted to let you know that I understand. I don't think I will ever be free...I'm sure I will die before my mom. How do you deal with knowing that everyone has swollowed the lies about you and how do you get passed wanting her to exposed? Wouldn't it be great if we could produce secretly recorded video and make the family members all sit and watch it...what I wouldn't give!

Sounds so familiar .. I know for a fact that she lied numerous times to me about very serious things .. what she did or did not say to my 6 siblings is unknown because many of not most of them still view me as the black sheep and will not discuss with me what they discuss amongst themselves .. even though the parents are gone ., the pattern is continued to the next generation and I see the ‘pass down’ to their kids

U are so wise ... I can relate to the act of pathological envy that was pushed onto me by narcopath mom and dad . Both hateful of me wanting to have any success at all and did their very best to sabstoge anything good in my life . The hatred dad Displayed to me when he heard me say in seventh grade I mean I was a child hearing other friends discuss their goals in life their jobs they wanted and I happily shared those things with my family only to have them seethe with hatred yelling at me how dare I think I can go to college ( they really were saying how dare you think you can be better than me or have more than us you don’t dare think you can be successful ) to the point they forged my signature on student loans and grants to use up all the money themselves to prevent me from having access to funds . If I had a job they would come take the car In the middle of the night . Not to mention all the domestic violence they never got charged with : they make me so sick and what makes it even worse are all the thepsists I saw that were personality disordered too and would make excuses for their behavior or minimize it . If people can’t get a grip and counsel others due to their own narcissitic behavior we need to have a central place where we can warn other victims to not waste their money on these more non empathizing lunatics taking money then leaving you more confused for their lack of concern like this is normal behavior to make your child destitute before they reach 19 years of age and want to make your own child homeless . I mean then lawyers and also people in the family courts all need a central place to warn others these are people that will support your families abuse . These are flying monkeys and enablers : when your own family never stops abusing you but then uses “ the system “ as a tool of abuse or secondary abuse by proxy wow we really need an overhauling in this country to stop them being hired in these fields . By all means become an attorney as a narcopath but no one should allow them anywhere near family law to be used as secondary abuse thirty years later when your narcopath family wants to begin a smear campaign so they can be the “ Winner “ what makes me so sick is the lawyer that is in touch with my mother wants to use her as a tool against me in court and I have not seen her nor spoken to her in o er five years . This is the level of sickness of people we are hiring in courts and people wonder why there is such a large amount of narcissits now in society . Each healthy parent wanting to get free of abuse and keep the kids free from abuse will come agisnt more personality disordered people that just want to “ win “ at all costs and will laugh about child abuse as it occurs . My daughters gal called the physical abuse she went through when she was wrongly separated from me as “ a training issue “ and of course a judge that is a narcopath won’t care and won’t investigate it especially when he has my own parents talking bad about me . I have not lived in the same state as my family since 1993 that was the last time they ever was around me and after that they saw me maybe once every five or six years literally no and low contact . That some lunatic lawyer thinks it’s funny to abuse the system becuse he can this is our system now . No oversight and a single judge gets to decide your and your child’s whole life . We need to change the laws and get juries involved in family courts . And until that happens we will continue to see more and more kids being taken from healthy parents and they either become the scapegoat or the perpetrator . Nothing but that comes out of a narcopath family but damaged people or sicko perpetrators . Until I found out my famiky were cluster b disordered I could not recover : I am glad I found out : and it’s so criminal that we don’t let our children in schools know about this disorder so they can begin to protect themselves before they become adults .i want to raise such an awareness and help educate people : sorry my response was so long : I just seem to resonate well with how your experience has made you so helpful Thankyou for this

I came out ok in my high complex case spanning two counties, over ten years, over 7-8 judges, countless attorneys, arbitration, pd, hearing masters, this and that dragged thru the mud all for narc just not wanting to pay support. WHAT A JOKE THE SYSTEM IS. And their was a child to consider who I kept out of everything to protect. Unbelievable! Point is: just steer clear of narcs, not even once a year contact! Stay out of the system, courts, lawyers etc. Its a waist of money and time. They want your time, money and just another story to talk about to each other.

Hi, Im sorry tou went thru this. I too, stepmother and step sister, so envious of my bio mom and who she was famoys locally and toured the US but I was so young I did not understand why they were treating me this way. Today, Im connecting the dots bc I really do think they received counseling back then and it was their therapist most like that put me in danger with their envy!!! Their therapist probably did nit know or think they would or could ever hurt me. I received an apology from them well into my adulthood but sometimes I think it was to save them from me suing them. Therpaist need to EXIT that field bc they do not know the danger they could be putting someone else in that family in!!!! So many questions I can answer now from going thru this now. Blessings to you. We are here!

Can you please do a segment on covert narcissists in a business setting ? I know a "Steve"- who is NPD (covert). He is a family member of my husband. He chooses scapegoats of which I was one. Other individuals think he's the nicest of guys! It took years for me to understand how covert he was/is. When I caught on I contacted another individual who had apparently gone no contact with him. My hunches were all correct. Years prior he did to her what he was trying to do to me. So, like her, no contact was the only way I was finally able to deal with him. The years (decades!) of me trying to maintain a healthy relationship with him only seemed to enable him to take more advantage. He would use covert retaliatory actions when we weren't behaving as he wished. I thank you for your wonderful channel. I wish I had it during the years of dealing with his toxicity. Now, I am working on not being angry with myself for allowing such a "jerk" to have emotionally abused me for all these years. No more! Thank you !

EXACTLY. It is a sad world when basic humanity is part of the problem instead of the solution. That this creature DOES NOT CARE that their cruelty and deliberate malevolence is so foreign to many, if not most of us, is at the heart of much of the evil that is perpetrated in this world. Sad. Shameful. Sick. Sordid. And we must accept that which is wholly unacceptable. The pain is not eliminated because of acceptance. It is what it is. Rational, cognitive assessments will never change the fact that we are human and feel pain when we are subjected to maltreatment by someone with whom we became vulnerable enough to offer love and committment. It is HELPFUL AND A STEP TOWARD MOVING FORWARD. But, IDK about LS and the rest of her following and community, but I will never be less than fully human. SMH. 😢

Absolutely spot on with most of these traits with the covert narcissist in my life. Consumed with how they appear to others, desperate to be seen as a valuable, helpful and high-achieving person, but never with the substance to back it up. Instead, engages in avoidance, manipulation, desperate validation-seeking to the point of being embarrassing, evoking pity in others in order to escape consequences......that’s just a small glimpse of the many tactics and behaviours at play. A noxious insidious person.

Thank you for your videos - it really helps me to see the hidden agenda. I have many narcissists around me, and just learned to know who they are. They are often very into talking about money, finances and ways you can help them with their problems money wise - and they will try to make you feel obligated to pay for any social interaction with them. And then they will keep comparing your finances with theirs, and your situation with theirs. "If you get x ammount of money per month, so should I... if you get these things, so should I..." (or they will want just a tiny bit more than you). At the moment I am so stressed about this person/these persons that I try to create more of a distance to them and their children. Luckily I am talking with my counsellor and some close friends about this and one of them recognizes this behavior as narcissism as well. Both of us have educations where we are taught psychology and how to look for traits in people to help them in the working environment the best possible way (just general disorders where narcissism is not present). I know for a fact that you cannot help a narcissist because they are in denial and do not want help or to change - they want others to change for them! But about these people in my life - they cause me to stress and at the moment I am ill and don't want to socialize because of that. But I get the help I need - so the situation will eventually change for the better.

My position caused for a masters level degree but she felt she was entitled to make what I was making, even though her position was based on a having a high diploma. She would take in extra tasks at work which she felt like she was entitled to be compensated money wise. I felt like she was jealous of me even though I treated her as a equal. I encourage her to go back to school to complete her bachelors degree then into the master’s program. Looking back, I believe she was a compulsive liar. Be very weary of individuals that ask a lot of questions & ask your opinions about situations at the workplace especially if they have been there longer than you.

When you find yourself praying to the Most High for protection you know it’s time to end it!! The guy was just wrong and so weird. Always listen to your instincts... please don’t waste 30 years of your life like I did ... after the first sign of weirdness/disrespect.. kick them to the curb.. they show you who they really are eventually. Listen to yourself before it gets that far❤️🙏🏾
