The Covert Narcissism Podcast

Conversations I Wish I Had with My Covert Narcissist


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into the conversations I wish I could have had with the covert narcissist in my life. The words I rehearsed but never said. The truths I buried for the sake of “keeping the peace.” The sarcasm I bit back. The boundaries I swallowed. All of it. Because sometimes, the only way to make sense of the madness that is covert narcissistic abuse is to talk it out—even if it’s only in your own head.

We’re pulling back the curtain on:

  • The emotional minefield of everyday life with a covert narcissist
  • The way gaslighting turns simple moments into emotional warfare
  • The mental gymnastics of the “circular conversation”
  • The rage that gets disguised as “just a rough day”
  • The slow erosion of your voice when you’re always managing their emotions
  • You’ll hear my real thoughts—the ones I kept silent because saying them out loud would’ve meant inviting more chaos, more blame, more confusion. But here? We say them. We say them all.

    This isn’t just about venting. It’s about reclaiming the space to name what happened, to validate the version of reality you know you experienced, and to remind you that you’re not crazy. You’re not too sensitive. You’re not imagining it. You’re waking up.

    So grab your tea, your journal, or just a quiet moment in your car, and let’s process together. Because your voice matters. Even if it’s shaking. Even if it’s only just starting to come back.

    ✨ Leave this episode knowing:

    You don’t have to keep tapdancing around someone else’s dysfunction to be worthy of love, safety, or peace.
    You get to stop shrinking.
    You get to stop rehearsing.
    You get to heal.
