Why The Covert Narcissist is The Most Dangerous of All
The covert/vulnerable/fragile Narcissist, hands down.
These individuals’ “elation” and “deflation” stages make them the most dangerous.
When they are in the deflation stage, they appear like vulnerable, hurt, abused puppies. You will want to pick them up, take their pain away, hold them, nurture and love them.
When they are in the elation stage, they act like their counterpart, the Overt Narcissists. But unlike the Overt, they don’t have the power and “confidence” they possess.
The covert is in a constant cycle of elation and deflation. They are in continuous search of supply as it comes and goes. It’s quite a roller coaster.
The emotional torture it takes on a partner can’t be explained. Every action they take elicits a response from those close to them. And the action is usually based on some selfish need or desire.
Just as quickly as they are saying they are the worst person and apologizing for mind fucking you, they flip right back to mind fucking you.
Their “fake” empathy is what makes them most dangerous. You will believe them, and as soon as you do, they throw another dagger, and with each dagger, the one proceeding hits a little deeper.
