JUST Enough Good from a Covert Narcissist

JUST Enough Good from a Covert Narcissist

Relationships with covert narcissists often last years and decades. Why? Why did I stay for over 2 decades with this verbally, emotionally, psychologically abusive man? Why didn’t I see it sooner?? Is there something wrong with me that I didn’t see it? Because covert narcissists are experts at giving just enough to keep you hooked!!

The Covert Narcissist is Just Enough

Just enough good to keep you in, Just enough bad to chase you away

Just enough good to make you feel loved and cherished, Just enough bad to make you feel wounded and empty

Just enough good to make your heart sing, Just enough bad to destroy that very heart

Just enough good to to keep you invested, Just enough bad to leave you doubting

Just enough good to give you hope that you are making progress, Just enough bad to leave you feeling despairing and trapped

Just enough emotional expression to make you think they are sensitive and vulnerable, Just enough harshness and blaming to guarantee they have no compassion

Just enough innocence and baggage to appeal to your sympathy for them, Just enough guilting and blaming to destroy that very sympathy

Just enough effort to make you the bad person if you leave, Just enough blame to know the effort is a lie

Just enough good to convince you to stay in the relationship, Just enough bad to make you want to run away screaming

Just enough good to convince the world they are amazing, Just enough bad for you to know the truth

Just enough good to confuse you, Just enough bad to confuse you

A covert narcissist is just enough
