At their core, female covert narcissists often feel inadequate and unworthy. This insecurity manifests as envy and jealousy, especially towards others’ successes.
Rather than celebrating others’ achievements, they:
- Put people down or dismiss their accomplishments
- Compete with or sabotage others
- Compare you unfavorably to others, saying things like, “Why can’t you be more like so-and-so?”
Their constant comparisons reflect their inability to process insecurities. Instead of addressing their feelings of inadequacy, they externalize them by diminishing others to elevate themselves.
Final Thoughts
These are the last five signs of emotional immaturity in female covert narcissists. Remember, occasional emotional struggles are normal for everyone. What sets narcissists apart is the consistency and intensity of their immaturity, alongside symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
