In this article, I’m going to talk about what I consider the most dangerous type of narcissist: the nice guy narcissist. When I say “guy,” this could easily apply to a female as well. The nice guy narcissist is particularly dangerous because no one suspects them.

If you end up getting romantically involved with this person, it can be particularly upsetting, shocking, and distressing because you realize you’ve developed romantic feelings for someone who is not who they pretended to be.
I’m going to talk you through 13 signs that someone might be a nice guy narcissist.
