The Master of Confusion: The Covert Narcissist
The hidden narcissist, who is nature’s master of the mystery and the adept at the silent treatment, is a fascinating figure.
It is not an error on your side to observe that their communication abilities are comparable to those of a houseplant that is exceptionally unpleasant.
They don’t speak much since they have a lot of things to conceal.
The reason covert narcissists communicate so little is because they have mastered the art of weaponized ambiguity.

It’s almost as if they’re playing a warped version of the game “Guess What’s in My Dysfunctional Mind,” and in case you were wondering, the answer is that it’s always your fault, regardless of what you guess.
They are so good at concealing things that it is almost like they have a second job.
Covert narcissists have a whole wardrobe full of skeletons, secrets, and probably even that jacket you’ve been seeking for all this time.

They consider themselves to be the unsung heroes of their own tragic opera, the misunderstood geniuses that the world is not yet prepared to acknowledge and respect.
