7 Covert Narcissist Behaviors So Strange They Are Unbelievable
You’ve got to see it to believe it
When you have been abused by a covert narcissist, you start to see the predictability in their patterns — the passive-aggressive putdowns, gaslighting, sabotage, undermining, future faking, triangulation, weaponized incompetence, silent treatment, and more.
Some of their behaviors, however, are so odd you pause to be sure they’re real.
These are 7 of those unbelievably strange behaviors.
#1 They lie about small, seemingly insignificant things
Covert narcissists lie to some degree about almost everything. They are masters of “untruths” or “partial truths.”
Sometimes their decision to lie just doesn’t make sense. They lie about things so small and so insignificant; it seems it would be far simpler to tell the truth.
They tell someone they…
- Trained for and ran a half-marathon
- Stopped by the DMV to renew their license
- Called their mom
To be clear, the person they’re telling doesn’t care about any of these things.
