Have you ever seen someone raise their eyebrows after speaking, as though silently requesting agreement or appreciation? Eyebrows provide the third facial clue for identifying a narcissist.
Narcissists often raise their eyebrows to draw others in and bolster their distorted self-image. If the response is not as expected, they may manipulate the situation to make you feel awkward or rude. Studies reveal that people can often identify narcissists based on their unique eyebrows alone.
For instance, Meghan Markle’s carefully groomed eyebrows have sparked speculation. Are they indicative of her personality or simply a cosmetic choice?
