The seventh and final sign is crying suddenly when you share good news.
Imagine you get a job offer and excitedly tell a covert narcissist. Instead of celebrating with you, they burst into tears, complaining about their own hardships.
I saw this firsthand when my friend—who had struggled immensely—got a job offer. He was overjoyed. But when he shared the news with us, my mother suddenly started crying and listing all her problems.
She completely stole the moment from him.
This behavior reveals their deep insecurity and resentment. They don’t want you to succeed—they want you to stay beneath them.
Conclusion
If you notice these facial expressions—smirks, sighs, eye rolls, dagger stares, and fake smiles—you are dealing with a covert narcissist.
They are condescending, manipulative, and lack empathy.
Sharing is caring!
