The worst kind 😔
Covert narcissists can be the most dangerous ⚠️type of narcissist because their behaviour is often difficult to recognise, leaving you feeling confused, frustrated, and trapped in the relationship.😵💫😥
Covert narcissists are skilled at manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. 🗣️They can make you feel guilty, inferior, and responsible for their problems. And whilst they use charm and flattery to gain the trust and admiration of others, ultimately their behaviour is driven by a deep sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy.🤨
Because covert narcissists can hide their true selves, you may not realise you are being abused until it is too late. Leaving the relationship is a struggle, as the covert narcissist convinces you that you are the problem or you can’t survive without them. 🥺
This makes the covert narcissist particularly dangerous, ⚠️as they can inflict lasting emotional harm on you without being detected.
