If the Narcissist cannot affect the person directly, they would get to their closest friend, their partner, or a family member and love-bomb them into trusting them. Even in these instances, the intentions of the Narcissist will not be clear as they never made any show of disliking anyone. But every relationship that the Narcissist has is strategic and they use other people to hurt you when they can’t.
This is what I was trying to explain in this article, where I talk about relationships Narcissists try to destroy. When they are out to destroy someone, they want to see them isolated or abandoned by those closest and dearest to them. Narcissists will steal your friends, your partners, and your family from right under your nose; All with the intent to hurt and isolate you.
But what I am trying to say with the Covert Narcissist is that they cause more drama outside of their safe zone when they have no one in their safe zone that they can abuse. When they do have someone in their private lives or safe zone, it is easier for them to cope with the challenges that they face with other people. They can smile through the offenses, knowing they will come home and take out on their family.
Of course, these outside offenders will not get away unscathed because the Narcissist will always remember how they offended them and will just be waiting for the right time to exact revenge without them realizing it was the Narcissist who did it.

The Covert Narcissist is very sneaky and sly. They are the ones who aim for a blameless reputation in hopes to be liked and adored. They are the ones who get their partners to live a lie, pretending everything is well in their relationship when it’s not. And they are the secret abusers, who tend to be admired and loved by those who don’t really know them, as they are just in love with the fake image or persona that they, the Narcissist, have created.
But Covert Narcissists love-bomb like all Narcissists to trap you. They may never raise their voice or lift a finger at you but the manipulation, lies, and devaluation still exist. Though out of sight of the public, it thrives heavily in private. And when there is no one in their private lives, it oozes out to affect those around them. So, even though we cannot go No Contact with every Narcissist, we need to keep a safe distance away from any Narcissist that we are aware of.
As usual, I hope you found this helpful. Please share wherever you can. Many thanks for reading.
