The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist: Recognizing the Traits and Finding Healing After Hidden Emotional and Psychological Abuse (The Narcissism Series Book 1)

by Debbie Mirza

“We’ve been pre-programmed to believe that people only exhibit problem behaviors when they’re ‘troubled’ inside or anxious about something. We usually start to wonder what’s bothering the person so badly ‘underneath’ it all that’s making them act in some disturbing way” (George Simon Jr., Ph.D., In Sheep’s Clothing). I think it is true that narcissists are troubled people. They would not act the way they do if they weren’t. What we learn through our experience is they are not always innocent. They are not coming from a naïve place. For the most part, they do what they do to get their way. We are waking up to the reality that there are people in the world who simply don’t have good intentions, who are out for themselves and are not as they appear. There are bullies masquerading as the “nicest people” and no matter how kind and loving and understanding we are, they will treat us badly because they don’t care about our feelings. They want what they want and will do what it takes to get their way. They do not care who they hurt in the process.
