covert narcissist causes anxiety in you everytime u with them. that's how i felt personality

[metatechnologist]

"It leaves you thinking something is missing."

Like a soul.

[carolnahigian]

It took me 64 years and finally I got tired of APOLOGIZING-for nothing!! No more!!!!

[tiffanysmith]

Honestly it’s a feeling in you gut, an instinct!! It tells you “something “ is wrong!!! Trust it

[RealTalkwithBellaTT]

Them creating an argument when you’re venting about your personal pain is one of their sickest traits.

[silvera]

Covert narcissists also like to humiliate you without you realising it.

[gwendolynwehage]

"They invite you to the party so you can see them ignoring you." When we act as though it is not bothering us they step up their silent treatment or snide remarks.

[qtchickn]

Underplaying your achievements is a big one, while they expect you to praise them excessively if they achieve something

[CynthiaSchoenbauer]

I didn't know that they were unhappy people. They always fooled me that they were happy and living the perfect life for them.

[cherylstokes]

If a group of people are connecting and having good banter and belly laughs...the Covert Narcissist is standing on the sidelines, arms crossed, just watching - with that constipated look on their face.
THEY DESPISE TRUE JOY.

[stephanies]

7:28 They’re hypersensitive and insensitive at the same time.

[tammyanne]

I think when you’ve been under a covert narcissist for so long, when you watch a video like this, you question if YOU are the covert narcissist. This is how deep they can infiltrate your perception of yourself. I’m thinking maybe *I* am the problem, maybe I am the one that’s screwing it all up. I really appreciate that she says that we all do a few of these things but it doesn’t make you a narcissist. So much of these videos are helping me get the courage to leave

One of the worst side effects of narcissistic abuse is the loss of trauma response. People easily pick up on you being a push over causing more injuries and loss because you’ve lost the mental ability to defend yourself. And, you typically won’t know better to walk away from other abusive people.

The best thing we can do is stop automatically giving people the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, we're conditioned to do this since we know no one is perfect. However, all narcissists and toxic people NEVER deserve such respect.

[Johnsmith]

I blocked my suspected narcissist ex. Even if he isn’t a narcissist, he’s brought me nothing but confusion, anxiety and unhappiness. He came back too see how I was doing a few days ago. It’s funny how he pretends to care about me 3 months after I went no contact. He was just pissed that I was finally getting away and I was on my road to happiness. He wanted one last attempt to keep me close enough so that he can leech off of me but I’m stronger now.

[RichD]

The never happy thing is so true. It's one of the things that makes me glad I was discarded. She was always complaining about something, and always found a way to bring down the mood no matter what we were doing.

Narcissists must love that there is so many videos being made about them
