It's such a struggle dealing with a covert narcissist... people cannot seem to grasp the damage these types of people can do! Just coming out of a relationship with one I couldn't understand why I felt so destroyed by him, but these videos have helped me so much so thank you!

[Suzu]

Exactly...the "coverts" are hardest to do serious damage....

[christophernielson]

I waited day after day year after year for my wife to just not be like this, I waited so long that I lost who I was and slowly became prone to the abuse. But seeing these videos has opened my eyes and given me the answers I've longed for. I thought it was me not being sensitive or having enough empathy but I was wrong. The covert narcissist will take how you want to help them through their struggles and it will never ever be enough. I can attest to this video. Thanks for making these videos.

Thank you for this. You outlined the myths well.

More than the myths of covert narcissism, I needed to see that being treated badly or with disrespect, consistently, was ABUSE. The fact that the now-ex didn’t always behave like a “narcissist” was only incidental. What was consistent was that his disrespect or bad treatment of me, along with his obvious dislike of me, was evident.

When I realized that diagnosing him wasn’t as important as looking at his consistent behaviors, I was able to see that he was abusive, and I made the decision to leave.

Blessings!

No narcissist has self esteem... The grandiose narcissist is playing a character... The false self

[roscluaran]

Narcissists are a pain to deal with and there's so many of them out there in the world today, thanks to social media, which is their main playground. Thank you for this informative video on the covert narcissist. The grandiose narcissists are the more familiar type but the covert narcissists have really come forward now. Basically, any narcissist is a nightmare and should be avoided at all costs!

The covert narcissist is under the radar, before you know it your caught in their web 🕸️👍 Christina and survivors and thrivers 🙏🦋

[nobullpracticality]

Thank you. Had a friend group text thread that spanned 8 years. Reviewing it during pandemic helped shed light on covert narcissist patterns that were harder to just pluck from memory of 8 years. After the discard, rereading texts again with that in mind was like reading book of revelations lol. Your YouTube channel & Dr. Les Carter’s YT channel on narcissism are both absolute gems and worth their weight in gold. Thanks again.

Hind sight is always 2020, but if we arm ourselves with this knowledge and move forward, we can avoid disappointment, hurt and a plethora of other unpleasant dealings with these types of people.
Thank you for your help and information!!

Narcs "help" their victims, most usually with material gifts. These "good deeds" will always be shared with others, and when you finally ditch them, will be uaes to make you look like a greed sponging user.

There's definitely levels to this, it's very difficult to discern covert narcissists real-time unless you're self aware, discerning, observant and test them to check for narc traits as a pattern of dysfunctional behaviour. Test using a small "no" and check for emotional reactions, watch for congruency in actions and patterns rather than words, notice how they treat others who are weaker or superior to them and look at their past to see if there's a trail of messed up broken relationships or not indicating how they'll most likely behave in the future. It'd be good to see a video on healthy vs unhealthy ego too. Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us all Kristina. 💞🕊️

The more of these videos I watch, the more I think the majority of people are narcissists.

[rayescott]

OMG! He actually said I will give you the shirt off my back

[sherrybatson]

Excellent video. So many variations with narcissists.

[BubbaGump]

They have the innate ability to lie to themselves, believe it, and continue on doing and being what they are...

[TurtlePower]

A covert absolutely destroyed me. Learning to be grateful for it, now have solid ground on which to build. Good video, love your hairstyle! 💗

[sunset]

Relationship with covert narcissist.

Been there it is an unbelievable situation.

😵

[eljuanhubbard]

My issue is that there is so much info out there on narcissists, like in these videos, that my wife is watching them a lot latelay and now she is calling me one. So is there a self-help section of Youtube where I can figure out what she is accusing me of being and if I am actually what she is claiming I am? I just want to be married and love my wife, but now when she disagrees with me she says I am a narcissist. She was a happy person until this all started.

I'm so glad you got out of the situation 💛💛. A situation with any kinda Narcissist is hard - it's hard when we can't see it in the moment because they can really distort reality in our minds. Imo so important to have any kind of support or an outside perspective when in such a situation

[johnkarl]

I've tried everything to make a relationship work over 21 years. It's insidious undercover
abuse that's so literally Soul Destroying! To her friends and family she's the perfect angel so nobody would understand or see my perspective and I know she has blamed me for our turbulent on off relationship. They actually teach you to focus on yourself and get your value internally because they want you below them, subservient and controllable, every trying harder to please them. Occasionally you get treated better but that's only to keep you on their shelf or if they want something from you. I've learned NOT to confront them on their behaviours plus NOT to tell them you feel rejected or used. They Know what they're doing ! no point telling them only to face a backlash of hostility, being gaslit and blamed or face the mind Destroying ducking diving manipulative garbage they throw at you . While I'm still in her life ( better if you can get away) I spend less time with her and also stopped volunteering my help ( which was only taken for granted anyway) I keep topics of conversation light and very general as she's so self opinionated and loves to be confrontational. Covert Narcissists make a person become somewhat narcissistic too! The difference is you start behaving selfishly to protect yourself, NOT because it's your nature. They are narcissistic to
serve their needs and bolster a fragile ego. Thank you for your videos and explaining behaviours that don't appear textbook narcissist. ❤
