Does a Covert Narcissist Ever Admit They Need Help?
You would think when everyone gets tired of their bullshit.
You would think they run enough people off they would see the “problem.” Nope, not them.
I believe the Covert Narcissist is less likely to seek help. They might as age catches up, but still highly doubtful because they need to be highly aware. They will just lie to the therapist. Actually, it’s not lying; they will speak their distorted delusional reality.
Hell, it is tough for me to stomach the words I spew to her when I’m triggered. And at times, in the vengeful part of my mind, I believe she deserves the words for what she has done to me. But can you imagine doing what they do to people then be “aware” enough to know you are that kind of evil? Then OWN IT!?!
Nope! They project, Gaslight, and minimize their abuse. That’s how they realize they “don’t” need help, but YOU do!
Looking back, the most broken I felt was when she took me to her therapist, and they both went into attack mode on me. It was devastating. I was ready to get up and walk out. Her therapist was as delusional as her. Nothing I said mattered as they both picked me apart from my childhood trauma.
