The Covert Narcissist: What You Need To Know - The Terri Cole Show

When you think about a narcissist what comes to mind? Do you think of the life of the party bragging about their accomplishments to anyone who will listen? Or someone out there seducing people with their considerable charms only to torture them once they are caught in their narc web? That’s only part of the story. While what is familiar to most of us is the profile of a publicly overt or grandiose narcissist, there’s another type…the covert or vulnerable narcissist. In this episode, you’ll learn the top 10 signs to help you spot a covert narcissist, because this personality type can be even trickier and more insidious than the overt narc. This kind of narcissist might be flying under the radar because they can come off as shy or even awkward unlike what we typically might think characterizes these personality types.
