Unmasking a Covert Narcissist Is Absolutely Dangerous. Just Run!

The Self-Love Recovery Podcast

In this video, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, explains why "unmasking" and exposing a covert narcissist should be avoided. This conversation further clarifies his most viewed (3.5 million) video: When You Unmask a Covert Narcissist, RUN, But Quietly! Covert narcissists are the most dangerous of all pathological narcissists.
Covert narcissists perfectly play a savior role who engenders sympathy or respect from unsuspecting people. If someone should attempt to take their mask off or reveal their true motives, there will be hell to pay! Covert narcissists, who often are also gaslighters, will do anything and everything to undermine or cast doubt on the person who attempts to reveal their true identity, reestablishing their altruistic reputation (re-gluing the mask to their face)
Covert narcissists thrive by pretending to be something they are not. They pretend to be altruistic, kind, and codependent. Covert narcissists get what they need out of life by creating a false self. Simultaneously, they hurt people in their most intimate relationships by behaving pathologically narcissistic behind the scenes. When setting boundaries or ending a relationship with a covert narcissist, doing so by exposing their true selves can be very dangerous., as they have an intense fear of abandonment caused by childhood trauma and will do anything they can to crush, discredit and damage the person who is attempting to take that which they have stolen from other people.
