Covert narcissists often use subtle manipulation tactics, such as passive-aggressiveness, playing the victim, or gaslighting, rage, leaving their partners feeling anxious, depressed, silent treatment or with lowered self-esteem. They may appear overly sensitive to criticism, struggle with emotional empathy, and shift blame onto others.

Unlike overt narcissists who crave attention, covert narcissists fear exposure and humiliation, thus avoiding the spotlight. They may come across as shy or introverted but are actually masking their deep-seated insecurity and shame. Their behavior patterns can erode a partner’s sense of self, creating a cycle of confusion, guilt, and emotional trauma.

If you’re questioning whether your spouse is a covert narcissist, taking a test or quiz is a helpful starting point. This article will explore the characteristics of covert narcissists, explain why their behaviors are so hard to detect, and provide a test to help you identify potential red flags.
