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. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care.

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment.

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...
