Episode Overview
- A smile that doesn't feel genuine can be a sign of covert narcissism, as they often use it as a tool rather than a genuine expression.
- Covert narcissists are self-focused and dismissive of others' feelings, making it challenging to share emotions with them.
- Their discomfort with emotional closeness and tendency to 'steal' stories indicate a lack of genuine connection and a craving for admiration.
- Covert narcissists often behave as if they possess psychic powers, using gaslighting to exert control and manipulate others.
- Understanding these signs empowers individuals to identify covert narcissists and protect themselves from their manipulative behaviours.
In a nutshell, we can say a covert narcissist is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's really difficult to characterize the traits of such a narcissist as abusive, as dysfunctional or narcissistic, but now that you know these subtle lesser-known signs, I hope you will be able to recognize them a mile away if you were to encounter them.
Ever felt like someone’s kindness was a bit too calculated? Or maybe you've struggled to share your feelings with a certain person, only to have your experiences dismissed or overshadowed? You might be dealing with a covert narcissist. In this episode, Danish Bashir breaks down five subtle yet telling signs of covert narcissism that often fly under the radar.
Unlike their overt counterparts, covert narcissists can be harder to identify because their manipulative behaviors are cloaked in charm and seemingly selfless acts. Danish sheds light on these elusive traits, helping listeners recognize the psychological games at play. By tuning in, you'll gain a clearer understanding of how these individuals operate and learn practical ways to protect yourself from their influence.
