5 signs of a covert narcissist are: 1. Inflated Self-Importance: Covert narcissists often have a grandiose sense of self-importance, but unlike overt narcissists, they may not openly boast about it. Instead, they might subtly manipulate situations to ensure they receive the attention and recognition they feel entitled to. 2. Victim Mentality: Covert narcissists tend to play the victim card, portraying themselves as misunderstood or mistreated. They may use sympathy and pity to manipulate others
