This type of narcissist is the hardest to spot…
Dr. Leanne ten Brinke is the #1 researcher in the world on dark personalities and a professor at the University of British Columbia, where she studies trust, deception, manipulation, and dark personality traits.
When you think of a narcissist, you probably picture someone who is loud, arrogant, and constantly seeking attention.
But there’s another type of narcissism that can be much harder to recognize.
On the surface, they may seem insecure, sensitive, or in need of reassurance. But underneath, the same patterns are still there:
Entitlement. Exploitation. A belief that they deserve more than other people.
Dr. ten Brinke explains that one of the biggest challenges is separating how they act from who they really are.
On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Leanne ten Brinke, you’ll learn how to recognize narcissism, spot manipulation, and understand the difference between someone who is simply confident and someone who may be dangerous to your peace.
