Covert narcissism and psychopathy share similarities yet differ significantly. Covert narcissists often present as shy, humble, or even self-deprecating on the surface, but they harbor grandiosity and entitlement internally. They may manipulate others through guilt or emotional appeals rather than outright aggression.
Psychopathy, on the other hand, involves a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a disregard for others’ feelings. Studies indicate that vulnerable narcissism (covert narcissism) is more strongly associated with internalizing disorders and self- and other-directed aggression compared to grandiose narcissism.
It’s crucial to clarify that not everyone who exhibits certain behaviors is a covert narcissist or a psychopath.
For example, does the person subtly put others down to elevate themselves? Do they seem to have hidden agendas or frequently deflect blame onto others? Are they unappreciative and ungrateful? These signs warrant attention and reflection.
