"Are you trapped in a confusing, hurtful relationship? This video takes you on a deep dive into the deceptive world of covert narcissistic abuse. We often associate narcissism with boastful and attention-seeking behavior, but there's a less obvious, more insidious form - covert narcissism. This video unravels how a covert narcissist operates, masking their manipulations behind victimhood and subtlety, leaving you doubting your own reality.
This video explains the characteristics of a covert narcissist, including passive-aggression, hypersensitivity, playing the victim, and emotional manipulation. Learn to recognize the cycles of 'idealization, devaluation, and discard,' commonly found in covert narcissistic relationships, which can leave you on an emotional rollercoaster.
Armed with understanding, you can break free from the manipulative cycle of a covert narcissist and reclaim your identity. From a biblical, practical, and spiritual perspective, I share ways to heal, regain confidence, and stand in your truth.

WHO AM I?
Hi! I’m Shaneen Megji. It seems my whole life has prepared me to do the work I am so passionate about today. Let’s just say I had to swim in narcissistic waters for many years, in workplace scenarios, in my previous faith as a Muslim, in friendships, and even in the church. God truly doesn’t waste anything. Each and every experience and all the studies I have done help me in my passion to set people free from the bondage and oppression of narcissistic relationships, to help survivors of such pain regain their authentic selves and their hope in God’s good plans for them, and to re-educate the church around toxic leadership.

    The biggest problem in these kind of situations isn't just that it's hard for you as the victim to identify, as once you finally found out you're being abused by a covered narc, the outside world: - Won't take you serious - Won't believe you - Will trivialize the facts This hurts the most and it's very frustrating when the outside world believes the covered narc rather than you as the victim. Imagine if this reaches the court, imagine if you have children with your toxic partner, etc. This is real hell which I do not wish to anybody.

Once you're out you can start healing and things will start to get better. It's a long walk, though. Been there, still walking/healing.

    My covert husband actually put a spy listen device (that looks like a phone charger) in my car to listen to my phone conversations. When confronted he says that it’s because he fears loosing me because I been so emotionally distant (I have learned to gray rock) so he is actually blaming me. Now he says he wanted to see if I was cheating on him!!! I ask how that’s possible since I work from home and he says maybe I meet up with a guy when I take a walk (typically a 30 minute walk) or when I go to the grocery store!! It’s unreal how they twist everything back to be your fault. He cried crocodile tears that I’m the best thing that ever happen to him but honestly I’m so done with the gaslighting and manipulation, silent treatment and fake love bombing for the last 6 years. God please help me get out!

    The more valuable you are to the narc, the worse they will treat you! See them through the eyes of how weak and broken they are, with little to offer --- your gifts and strengths intimidate them, yet they crave, desire and need your gifts and are terrified of losing access to them, so they need to lock you in a cage of the mind where you believe you're the inferior one that should be grateful to have them... it's a total plot twist and switch flip.

    So good. The only thing that I would add is if someone is seeking therapy, they should make sure that the therapist is well educated in narcissistic abuse. Many people have had horrible, re-traumatizing experience of having a therapist who is uneducated in real world narcissism. The therapist ends up falling for the tactics of the narcissist and blaming the true victim.

    I also went there. I was either going to get him or myself. I srudied about his NPD and learned how to not get affected by it. It took 10 years. I would say that if you have the option to leave, then you should. My difference in response to his condition does mean he behaves better (because it has no affect ) but a relationship will never be possible unless he becomes a real person . Such a hewling would take decades even if he were ro ever recognise his condition in the first place. A marriage is a union and such a thing cannot exist with a narc. You were right to divorce him.

    Thank you, thank you, Shaneen, for delving into covert narcissism. I was married to a covert narcissistic worship leader husband (now ex-). For 40 years, my cries for help were ignored/dismissed. My friends, pastors, even mental health professionals were of no help. Actually, their responses to me made me sink even deeper. Probably because this insidious, destructive disorder wasn’t recognized until somewhat recently. Even the most prominent Christian counseling clinic in the U.S. at the time gave me “counsel” that devastated me. So I continued feeling utterly all alone, unloved, hopeless. But I’m glad to say that after a couple years with a new counselor AND with insight from Shaneen’s videos , I am sensing gradual healing.

    God loves us before we go out to live our lives. We try to do the good things but when it doesn't work out, it doesn't take us to a place of rejection by him because we didn't measure up. He doesn't wait, like my own father did to see if our report card was good enough or our behavior in church was what he prescribed before any love could be handed out. I know the scriptures as I am sure you do but it's really hard to remember to filter life through them. I left my narcissistic husband of 20 years. I'm still going through what you are. I wish you peace and I want to tell you that God loves you so much and he knows...

    Silent treatment, ghosting, she even said "im special" in the beginning within like the first week. trauma and drama dumping, gossiping about family members, and other past partners. 😷 I was at a really good place in my life when I met her. Super good job, feeling the high of life as a single young man. Then after 5 months left a shell of a person with no self esteem, tons of confusion, anxiety, stress, anger, and just flat out egg shell walking. It was like a demon latched on me. 😮 I quit my good iob, after the 3rd time of silent treatment and then eventually the relationship ended abruptly. I was left with the demon and rebuilding from ground zero. Leason learned, follow your boundaries have strict boundaries. Have friends and a good sense of communication with mentors.

I'm so easily overwhelmed and discouraged by the many attacks in my day-to-day life. Thank you so much for your Biblical worldview about this.

    This session opened my eyes to some things the Lord has been slowly dealing with in me. I was in this Covert N type of relationship for 20 years and though I have been free from it for 15 years now, I still have healing to do! There have been other traumas since then (like two subsequent deaths of my adult children who were also affected by this relationship). I also had childhood trauma that probably set me up for being in this relationship to begin with. I am currently single with no desire to seek out a relationship. I serve the Lord, and Him alone. I made this decision partly because I noticed that I seem to attract the covert type narcissist. This is evidence that I have not fully healed! As long as there is healing to do, I need to focus on what God wants to bring me through. I had not fully realized this was a factor in my choice to remain single until listening to your video. 20 years of yo-yo acceptance and rejection in a relationship creates a lot of soul wounds that only the Lord can heal, which He CAN and wants to do instantaneously, but often this healing process requires a journey of following His lead so that He can reveal the truth to us bit by bit. Sometimes we can't handle the truth all at once, even if it is a good truth!

    I am going through a divorce with a narcissist right now … and I can tell you … unless there are minor children involved, the courts will NOT take the time to listen to your stories and your documentation … you would literally have to have proof of physical abuse and police reports to get the courts attention, and it would need to be under the criminal court system, not family court …. Sooo … as far as documenting events, do it for your own records to remind you of all the abusive events, because the abuse has a way of creating mind fog and cognitive dissonance which will lead to you blurring out and forgetting all the abusive moments … but DON’T count on it helping with a divorce case … the courts are so backed up with cases that they will just go by the book to run the cases through … if you hire an attorney that makes you think the documentations and recordings will help you get justice, then your attorney is misleading you ! … there are only three states in the US who recognize the concept of coercive control, mental abuse, financial abuse etc in court cases … UNLESS THERE ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED …

    A few.months into my marriage, I went for an ayurvedic consultation and the thing that stand s out looking back is that I mentioned about my mental state was that I felt like I was being abused, even though I wasnt being abused. I figured as I was telling him that it was down to ptsd from childhood issues. I thoguht what I was experiencing , extreme fear and anxiety and not feeling safe , was an intern al issue , not related to current events. It took a long time to even realise my husband was abusive and it was when I suspecfed this that I came across videos about NPD. Narc abuse is really quite something, and its hard to believe your oartner is doing these things , it took a lot of study to register .

    yes! one thing common i observed with covert narcs is that you cannot see or show any emotions from them. They seem to have no emotions which i can say its not normal..normal people get angry and show it, get upset and can show it, get sad and you can see it, get happy and you can feel it. With them, they seem so much in control even if they are so angry they will not show any bit signs of anger, they retaliate silently, covertly to hurt someone. calm and collected is a great atittude but if its too much youll question if they are human with emotions

    You need to make plans now. I live this exact situation. After 25 years he left me. I was very sick when he left. He left me the night before I was intubated and in the icu. He left and never talked to me again. I was hospitalized for 18 days with pneumonia. He never visited, my mother in law ignored my email, when I got home he wouldn't let me use our car (it's all in his name), to go to doctor appointments. I had chest tube hanging out of me and he ignored my pleas for help. I had to take ubers to all doctor appointments. I still do. Now he filed for divorce and wants everything. The house, the car, and only wants to give me $250. Per month for 4 years. I will be destitute and homeless if he gets his way. I am sick but also like you never worked. I had to hire a lawyer immediately and it took all the money he "allowed me" and it is also all he money that the bills are paid with, he set it up that way. So I don't know what is going to happen. I'm just like you. My mom died so I have no family, no friends. He has family and friends. I sit here alone, 24/7 and can't go anywhere because I have no car. I've spent hundreds on Uber going to doctor appointments. When I first got home from the hospital I had a chest tube and had to do everything alone. I had to order food because I couldn't cook. I had to change my own dressings from surgery (my pneumonia spread to my chest cavity and I needed surgery for it),and I am just alone. It is so so sad. He is gone and renting an expensive house and probably has another woman. Please plan for him to leave you. He is likely planning it. The married covert narcissist stays married for decades ND then does a final discard after "mortification." your husband will likely leave you within the next few years. Please put money away for yourself and plan for it. Watch Sam Vankin here on youtube. He explains everything about narcissists in detail. I'm so sorry for us both. Your husband will make you sick. I'm worried because you said you feel sick. Don't end up like me! I'm sorry you married a covert narc. Mine has destroyed me. BTW, it doesn't matter that everything is in his name. It is still half yours! My lawyer told me that. Your husband is probably hiding money too. If you divorce him, that will come out during "discovery."

I remember at one time I was told that I was responsible for his happiness😂😂😂 After the incidents with my kids I sought the Lord very hard about the marriage...he did shore me the black eyes more than once. Now separated. That didn't stop h him from stalking me each place I moved and still trying to push his way back into my life. Worst experience of marriage EVER.

    I'm definitely being silently devalued and discarded by my covert narc next-door neighbors. Her husband moved in first; then about a month later, the wife moved in too. I dislike the wife very much, and never liked her. But, as she was rail-thin and talked of being ill, I started giving her food and household items I could spare. She has thanked me, but has always treated me worse than her (many!) friends. They are always invited in; me, never. Lately, she walks around with a golf club for no good reason. She never practices her swing, and my neighborhood is a safe one. When I'm outside my door, she refuses to come up the stairs to her apartment. When on her outdoor patio, if I come out on mine, she ducks her head. In the past, when she did speak, she would go on hour-long filibusters, until I just turned my back and went inside. She is showing me that I'm being rejected. It's not like I ever wanted to be her neighbor or friend, but being devalued and discarded after my generosity feels insulting.

    I've spent close to two years of narcissism. I was convinced he was a covert narc, possibly sociopathy included. The more I watch him (closely) the lies, manipulation, the moving of small essentials around the house. A brush, house keys to a home I am flipping, he took the keys without me knowing. As it's less than a mile away, I was going back to get something I left there. My keys were missing. He came back from our house, drove to the flip, and then brought me the keys. HE HAD THEM the entire time. All done in front of a county sheriff deputy. He is on a path to prove me not SANE. The LIES are infuriating and I turned ONE back onto him and watched him squirm to fight HIS way out of a lie. Double standards are their worst "qualities", good qualities are RARE IN A NARC.

    I LOVE that you covered this! So much material about narcissists don’t cover the “covert narcissist.” I worked for a pastor and his wife who are ABSOLUTELY covert narcissists. They are church planters who have burned MANY bridges in the city where they planted.

    This is such a great explanation! It can be hard to discern if you are dealing with a narcissist. I left a bad situationship that left me so broken, I didn't see a path forward. Turning to God and lots of prayer has been a big part of my healing journey.

    I recently resigned as the sales and admin manager “effective immediately.” The owner of a company I worked at for only 1.5 weeks tried gaslighting me then she played the victim after I told her in the most professional way and tone, that I didn’t feel comfortable in dealing with the top maintenance director of a major hotel over some unresolved electrical issues in her store. When I resisted her attempt at pushing me into resolving an issue in an area beyond my ability I knew then that she was measuring my loyalty and my submission to her. She then began her manipulation tactics saying “Oh…am I making you angry?!” I immediately recognized the fact that she was operating out of the narcissism 101 playbook. Immediately I was able to see how she was attempting to push me into a situation only to set me up for failure. The final nail in her coffin was when she said “Are you going to put one more thing on my plate?!” After she attempted to play the victim, I laughed to myself knowing that the Lord had just pulled back the curtain for me to see what my future would be working for her so that night I quit with the subject line: “One more thing on your plate.” Then I opened with “Working for you is no longer working for me therefore…” I will not allow anyone or anything operating out of Satan’s kingdom to abuse me again. They may try, but God is my shield and protector. Thank you Jesus!

I always been the black sheep in my family. I went to Jesus cause of the abuse. Jesus is our hope. God is Love. I know my worth And values. My peace comes from God. God is great all the time. I have support from friends from church. I been a Christian for over ten years. Both of my parents are Narcissists so is my grandmother. My brothers and sisters are Narcissists Enablers. Narcissists are liars Narcissists never loved us at all Narcissists dont care about you at all Narcissists are broken people Narcissists are insecure people Narcissists are pure evil souls from the Devil Narcissists are fake and phony people

    I notice myself having symptoms 2 and 3 as a victim of narcissistic abuse. I'm overly sensitive to criticism because I've been criticized so much and I definitely am aware of the fact that I'm a victim of abuse. This makes me question whether or not I'm a narcissist. Very frustrating and worrisome

Knowing the Faith and learning more about God and His Creation validates me. Not other people’s opinions. Thanks be to God!❤
