Summary

The overt narcissist we see, but the covert narcissist is much more subtle and a lot harder to recognize, so in this episode, I am going to walk you through the common warning signs to look for if you have a feeling you may be dealing with a narcissist.

What you will learn in this episode:

Why some narcissists fly under the radar and how to spot them
How narcissists deflect and use a victim mindset to make you feel bad for them
What to do when your friends and family don’t believe your partner is a narcissist

Spotting a covert narcissist is so important, because the person you meet in public who comes across as friendly can be an entirely different person behind closed doors. So I hope this episode helps you avoid dealing with a narcissist in the future, and also helps those of you who are currently dealing with a covert narcissist.

0:54.0	opposite of what we
0:54.8	would necessarily think a narcissist is, which is why I think it's one of the most dangerous
0:59.7	kinds, because it can really leave those victimized by a narcissist questioning themselves
