Have you ever tried to figure out someone’s true intentions? Have you been suspicious of the intentions behind one’s behaviors? Have you ever asked yourself, Yeah but what do they really want?
Covert narcissists hide their true intentions. You can feel this when you talk with them. Something just doesn’t feel quite right. It doesn’t feel genuine. Everything they do and say has a hidden agenda. What is that agenda? What are their true intentions?

The true intentions of a covert narcissistic person are:
•to rely on others to build them up, to build their self-esteem
•to earn compliments and recognition
•to gain admiration and the feeling of being important
•to confirm that they are better or higher in status than you
•to create confusion in others so they can maintain their superior confidence over your obvious inferiority
•to win your apologies and continue to boost their superiority
•to validate that they are a good person

How do we know this? How can you identify it in your own situation? What do you do about it?

Have you ever felt like you were walking on eggshells, analyzing every glance, every sigh, every subtle shift in body language—just trying to figure out what went wrong this time?

Covert narcissists don’t always use words to manipulate, dismiss, or control. Sometimes, their most powerful weapon is silence itself. A heavy sigh, an eye roll, a dismissive shrug—these small, seemingly insignificant gestures carry messages that cut deep. And when words and actions don’t align, you’re left questioning your own reality.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story of how nonverbal communication was used to control, punish, and erode my sense of self—without a single word being spoken. We’ll uncover:
🔹 The subtle nonverbal cues that signal arrogance, entitlement, and silent disapproval.
🔹 How covert narcissists use body language to gaslight and emotionally withdraw.
🔹 The devastating impact of this form of manipulation—and how to spot the red flags.
🔹 The key differences between genuine nonverbal communication and the learned, performative gestures of a narcissist.
🔹 How to protect yourself, set boundaries, and reclaim your sense of reality.

If their words say, “I love you,” but their body language screams, “You don’t matter,” you are not imagining it. The mixed signals are real, and you deserve clarity.
