They are kind to you if you can do something for them or hold some form of power over them. They are cruel and underhanded to the people they’re envious of. People often assume that just because someone is kind to them that they can’t behave differently to other people. This is one of the most dangerous fallacies to engage in when it comes to narcissistic and psychopathic people. A female narcissist or psychopath isn’t going to show their true nature to their employer or friends they need to keep in their corner or a date they’re love bombing (at least not yet). Who will they show their true character to? The people they most envy and feel threatened by. Those are the people they try to undermine, sabotage, and bully behind closed doors. That is why you may have a female narcissist who behaves with seeming kindness toward the colleagues, friends, or lovers who don’t threaten them (or hold power over them), only to target the person who they are envious of by trying to interfere with their work, spread rumors, or pit them against other friends (also known as relational aggression). If you are told by their victims that they have engaged in covert bullying behaviors and the victim is someone who is empathic and trustworthy and has strengths and abilities that make them a target for such envy, recognize you may be getting the inside scoop on the narcissist’s true character, not their mask. These types tend to be a liability in the workplace, friendships, and romantic relationships, engaging in numerous unethical violations and putting friends, lovers, and businesses at risk. The most trustworthy people are actually those who are not necessarily saccharine sweet to everyone and treat them accordingly based on their own character rather than a personal agenda, and it is usually the empathic, authentic, and most talented people who become targets of such manipulators.

6 Subtle Red Flags of Envious Female Narcissists (That People Often Miss)

No new relationship, no matter how wonderful, can or should fix something it didn’t break. It is natural to seek what feels familiar to you, but it's not necessarily what's good for you to repeat. New relationships can be blinding, leading both partners to only focus on what works.

Disclaimer: This article was written with the help of A.I. software. In the movies and television, there are so many movies and series, which tell the stories, where there are main narcissistic characters, for example, Gaston, in Beauty in the Beast, Frank Underwood in House of Cards, Mitch Hiller in Enough and Stephen DeMarco in Tell Me Lies. These fictional character roles represent an individual is extremely cunning and dominating, has no emotions or very little, and who portrays a different facet of him publicly while acting entirely opposite at home. As for the rest of you, who have never had a chance to meet a patient directly diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), those qualities listed above might appear as if they were being largely overstated – seeing how many individuals using this word aimlessly or simply believe a narcissist is just someone too full of themselves or overly self-assured. However, experts stress that those traits mentioned have not been saturated, overemphasized, or overglorified by Hollywood. However, in the real world, they are a few of the traits that can present a person with NPD, respectively.
