How to Spot a Covert Narcissist Very Early On

3. Convince You That You Are The “One”.

 The third thing a Narcissist would do on a first date is express that you are the one; the one who is different from all the others or the one who can make their life better or worth living. The only person they have ever met who has made them feel this way, the only person who brightens their day.

 Again, remember you have only just met them but they are so sure that you are the one that they have been searching for their whole life. They will make you feel that you are the only one who seems to understand them. The only one to who they feel connected to. I refer to this as the Soulmate trap. Covert Narcissists use these types of phrases to get people bonded to them and fall in love with them quickly. They would even hint that they are already falling in love with you and even say it. So, beware!

4. Too Agreeable.

 The fourth thing they would do is be too agreeable. Because in a bid to mimic you and appear to share similar interests with you, the Narcissist will agree with just about everything you say. They would seem to like all the things you do and just the same dislike the things that you dislike. They do this to give the illusion of intimacy and that you are both so much alike.

What they will also do is be super interested in learning everything they can about you. But all this is so they can understand how you think and even manage your expectations so that they don’t disappoint you in anything they do or say. Narcissists are very inquisitive wanting to know all your business while feeding you lies about themselves.
