In this crucial follow-up to his viral video with 3.8 million views, psychotherapist and author Ross Rosenberg delivers a vital warning: never try to unmask or expose a covert narcissist.
He explains that because covert narcissists possess strong sociopathic traits, they experience exposure as an existential threat—equivalent to "murder" in their psyche—and their only response will be to utterly destroy you through smear campaigns, triangulation, and ruthless retaliation. Drawing from his own painful mistakes and professional experience, Rosenberg reveals why direct confrontation activates "false power syndrome" and guarantees your defeat. Instead, he provides the true path to victory and self-preservation: disengage without explanation, leave their mask intact, and run quietly.
Learn why walking away is the ultimate act of strength and self-love when dealing with this dangerous personality type. If you're trying to escape a toxic relationship, this advice is not just helpful—it's essential for your safety and recovery.
