3 Toxic Tactics Covert Narcissistic Women Use To Control You. #narcissist #relationshipadvice

Men, have you ever felt “wrong” for simply having needs? Share your experiences in the comments below.

Covert narcissistic women rarely yell, insult, or explode. Instead, they chip away at you quietly — and that’s what makes their tactics so damaging. If you feel like you’re always the problem, it may not be you at all. Here are three toxic tactics they use to control you:

1. Emotional guilt-tripping- She makes you feel bad for having basic needs — attention, reassurance, connection — until you stop asking altogether.

2. Victim role reversal- The moment you say you’re hurt, she flips the script and becomes the “real” victim. Suddenly you’re apologizing for the pain she caused.

3. Affection withdrawal- As soon as you push back or set a boundary, she pulls away intimacy to punish you. Affection becomes conditional, and you’re left chasing the version of her that only shows up when you comply.

These patterns slowly make you doubt your instincts, question your worth, and lose confidence as a man. Awareness is how you break the cycle — you’re not crazy, and you’re not the problem.
