"Same game. Different masks."
Covert and overt narcissists may look like opposites—but don’t be fooled. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I expose 5 unmissable differences between covert and overt narcissists, and how each uses toxic tactics to control, confuse and devalue you.

"Covert narcissists fly under the radar. Overt narcissists want the spotlight."

Learn how covert narcissists use silent sabotage, guilt-tripping, and false humility to chip away at your confidence—while overt narcissists operate with arrogance, grandiosity, and open manipulation.

Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, friend, or boss, this episode will help you clearly identify which type you’re up against—and how to protect yourself.

I share real-world examples from my counselling work, plus empowering tips to help you break free from the narcissist’s manipulation—once and for all.
