Narcissists and Passive Aggression - Richard Grannon

[reginaannsleavin]

And when you begin speaking or getting to know them they make an excuse to rush off the phone or have to run because they have a meeting.

My old friend is a covert narc. She'll rant and rave for over an hour and I'll pay attention. Then when it's my turn to talk, I noticed that she will literally drop her phone in the middle of my story and pretend it was an accident. Or she has to talk to another person. Or she hangs up "by mistake"

It happened SO many times in our 20 year friendship but I never realized until the end how deliberate it was. Insane people.

Exactly what they do or start overtaking you

[blazingspur]

When you are talking, they pick up their phone, and when you pointed it out they say something as innocent as “checking on the weather”

I met some colleagues and friends a couple of times ago when I was with my ex husband and each time he completely ignores them without giving me any chance to introduce them, that was damn embarrassing. It’s like that his passive aggressiveness extended to anyone I know !

Or bang their hand on the table, or slap the arm of the chair, interrupt to insist you close the, internal, door 'cos theirs such a draft!';

Oops. These are people who will anchor in through pets. Mom got me a puppy. I know now this puppy is her companion and I am the companions companion. Mom can't stand me she just wants me to bring the puppy to her.

Someone not listening = boring conversation

Some times people are just assholes too. These things don’t necessarily mean a diagnosis of “covert narcissism”. ….but are excellent indicators or “red flags”

[christinesalyer]

...or coughing when talking on the phone. 😒

You’ve let another one in? How will you feel when the person you’re talking about watches this video and realizes you’re talking about them? Are you resenting yourself for even talking to him/her? Tell us more

Are you sure you are not describing a masking neurodivergent person?
