Another danger of covert narcissism lies in its covert manipulation tactics, which are often difficult to detect and defend against. Covert narcissists excel at gaslighting, subtly distorting reality to make their victims doubt their perceptions and sanity. They employ passive-aggressive behaviors, such as subtle insults, sarcasm, and backhanded compliments, to undermine their victims’ confidence and assert dominance covertly.
