How do you spot a covert narcissist?

One word: Disconnect (a woman also called it “switch off”).

The covert narcissist seems normal. They seem innocent, sweet, vulnerable and nice (aka the nice guy/woman narcissist). They learned to pretend to be like empaths (or at least highly empathetic). Therefore the covert ones are rather hard to spot in the beginning, since they wear the face of their last victim while mirroring you at the same time.

However, you spot them not necessarily (in the beginning at least) by what they show you, but rather by discerning what they CAN NOT SHOW you: CONNECTION. They can not fake a true connection, because they do not love.

You will feel disconnected from them always (from day one). It is an ever present, lurking (uneasy) feeling you have from day one; the feeling of disconnection. They love bomb you, sweet talk you, smile at you, laugh with you during the first couple of weeks. Yet, you have the feeling that something is missing. There is a “gap”. Something is hindering you from feeling at ease with them. You could even describe it like a glass wall between the two of you.

You will override this feeling, once you fall for them. You will feel (unconsciously) that they are just self confident and somehow more powerful – beware you do not think that consciously, you will feel/discern that. This is actually right. You discern their “confidence” (which is actually their pride disguised as confidence) keeping you at a distance. This is actually part of the allure of narcissists.

Two other ways to spot them early on are subtle ignoring and the silent treatment. They will test you in the beginning, they have to; thus exposing themselves. Subtle ignoring is subtly ignoring you by disrespecting you and communicating (non verbal) your worth (to them). They will look down/away while you speak or check their junk mail. They will also engage the silent treatment as a second line of defense to make sure your “the one” by ignoring your messages for a whole day or 48 hours, when before you texted like 5 times a day. They might also “forget” to show up to your third date (or being an hour late or falling asleep instead of meeting you). They did not forget. It is a test.

Narcissists can not fake connection, because they never DO love.
