A covert narcissist (or vulnerable narcissist) hides grandiose, self-centered traits behind a quiet, introverted, or even shy exterior, making them hard to spot, but they still possess deep-seated entitlement and low empathy, often expressing it through passive aggression, victimhood, subtle manipulation, hypersensitivity to criticism, and a need for control, creating confusing, draining relationships where their actions contradict their words. Unlike overt narcissists, they don't demand attention loudly; instead, they might appear humble while secretly feeling superior, needing validation, and becoming resentful when they don't receive it.
