    Narcissistic abusers are not always obvious with their toxic behavior; they disguise themselves by being covert narcissists. Here are 5 dangerous signs you are being abused by a covert narcissist. Narcissists tend to minimize your needs; they rarely ever take fault and even when they do apologize, they do it sparingly and without meaning it, just to get you to forgive them. They don’t care for facts nor logic; they only what they want to hear or believe whatever benefits them. Narcissists also tend to forget that you exist, and project false humility. Narcissists rarely approach you first and wait for you to come to them. In fact, they seem annoyed when you come to them with your problems. Do you think you’re being abused by a narcissist?
