It’s a Great Deal For Them

Who wouldn’t want someone who doted over you all the time? Giving in to your every desire? Monitoring your mood constantly and adjusting accordingly? Working overtime to figure out whatever might possibly upset you and running interference before it happens? Doing all the work?

Let’s be honest. It’s a great deal, right? Great for the covert narcissist.

We spend all of our energy making them happy. We will bend over backwards, stand on our heads, spin in circles, jump up and down, or sit in a corner and do nothing, whatever it takes to keep peace with them.

My son said to me, “Mom, you did ABCDEFGH…XYZ. Dad wouldn’t even do A!

He didn’t have to. I did it all!
