Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists.

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder.

Narcissists create a persona that projects an image of perfection, superiority, and invulnerability. This false self is a carefully constructed facade designed to hide their deep-seated insecurities and vulnerabilities. By examining why narcissists develop this false self and its implications, we can better understand their behavior and the challenges in dealing with them. At the core of NPD lies a profound sense of inadequacy and unworthiness. From an early age, many narcissists experience emotional neglect, criticism, or unrealistic expectations from caregivers. These experiences can create an inner void, leading to a fragile self-esteem that is highly sensitive to any form of criticism or failure. To cope with these feelings, narcissists develop a false self that presents an idealized version of who they wish to be. The false self is characterized by grandiosity, entitlement, and...
