The Covert Narcissism Podcast ·

2024/03/17

We all have an immune system inside us. Its purpose is to fight harmful substances that enter the body. It builds a defense against invaders by keeping a record of every germ it has ever defeated so it can recognise and destroy the invading germ quickly if it ever enters the body again.

In order to function properly, the immune system has to be able to tell the difference between invader cells and non-invader

One minute you can feel like you have a grasp on it, and the next minute that grasp simply disappears.You can think you finally understand it and then be at a loss for words in trying to explain it to someone else. “I got it. This makes sense,” you think. The next day you wake up, and everything is all jumbled up again. What really is narcissism? Is this really how he/she is acting? Are they or

Welcome back. I am again talking about covert narcissism, and in specific, parenting with a partner who is showing the traits of covert narcissism. These kids go through a lot.

I'm drowning in a world of narcissism. I think about it the minute I wake up, all day long, and the last thought before I fall asleep. It is all consuming. Never in my life have I ever absorbed as much information as I have on covert narcissism. I have watched every video, read every book, listened to every podcast, talked to anyone who would listen. I just can't think about this any longer. Not one more thought. I just don't have it in me. I have nothing left! I can’t read another word! I have no

"I am the mom! I know everything and am right about everything." "I am the dad! I know how to handle life. Don’t tell me what to do." It is true that parents know more than kids, yes.

Unless of course, you are a covert narcissist. Covert narcissists hide behind images that they believe give them superiority and
