10 Signs You Are Talking to a Covert Narcissist

Number 4: Unsolicited Advice


They can’t seem to just listen and be supportive. But where a grandiose narcissist will overtly assert their opinions and advice and tell you what your problem is even though you never asked, a covert narcissist will typically give their advice in more subtle and passive-aggressive ways.

For example, let’s say you’re stressed out at work. A narcissist might feign concern for a brief moment, especially if there’s any gossip to be had, but then they’ll go on to talk about when they had this same problem or offer any genuine support. They typically get very offended if you act superior by telling them what’s best for you.


Number 5: Playing the Victim


They excel at playing the victim in various situations, manipulating narratives to portray themselves as being misunderstood and treated unfairly. You will not be able to finish a story without them interrupting to talk about how they’ve suffered worse than you. It’s a lot of “poor me” and how everyone is to blame for whatever problems they’re having. A narcissist is never, ever the bad guy in their story, no matter how badly they’ve behaved. So pay attention when someone is quick to blame others but always has excuses for their bad behavior, unable to take any accountability for their role in the recurring relationship problems that they’re having.
