The Introverted Narcissist
Introverts, in general, are usually described as inward-turning because they are more focused on internal thoughts, feelings, and moods rather than seeking external stimulation. They can be your bookworms, artists, and musicians who prefer solo creative expressions. But when they are narcissistic on top of that, that is where the trouble lies because their quieter, introverted nature at first glance will not give any red flags of narcissism away.
I have lived with both extroverted and introverted covert narcissists, so there are a few things I can share. Generally, the covert narcissist can become easy to spot as they generally love the limelight and can be openly vain. They also act entitled and generally talk more, and when narcissists talk more, you can pick up on some serious red flags if you pay attention because they love to talk about themselves.

They exaggerate their achievements and gossip, and you can catch them in a lie or two. But when it is an introverted narcissist, they don’t speak much, which means they don’t give much away. Also, because of their introversion, they may appear to not care for attention or the limelight. They would avoid boisterous social gatherings, and it would be tough for you to catch them gossiping or spreading lies.
These introverted narcissists are good listeners and will try to get as much information from you as possible while, at the same time, giving very little away about themselves. They are extra good at hiding their feelings and emotions. They are also more observant, which means they can study and mimic people more effectively. Even though they can pick up on other people’s needs, they have no desire to help because they don’t care.
The introverted narcissist is the epitome of covert narcissism, and because of their quiet nature, people think that they are not a threat or many would not think that they are capable of harming anyone. They may even be soft-spoken and unassuming but don’t be fooled. They can wreak a tremendous amount of hurt, confusion, and destruction like any other narcissist.
