YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCovert self-supplies and is avoidant. He is his own audience.
Overt depends on external sources and approaches them.
When unable to deceive himself owing to public shaming, the covert endures narcissistic injury and the overt endures mortification.
When unable to deceive others, the covert endures self-efficacy injury and the overt endures narcissistic injury.
Mortification in the covert is the simultaneous occurrence of both injuries: narcissistic and self-efficacy. It is an internal event, independent of any witnessing. It is self-shaming.
Crisis and drama - anxiety - are defenses against depression. Narcissist provokes and engineers crises intentionally and artificially to mask like-threatening emptiness, dysphoria, and anhedonia. Abusive misconduct is one such crisis-inducing dramatic strategy. Abuse is anxiogenic - but also anti-depressant. It is more common when the narcissist is deflated.
Reacts with self-aggrandizing paranoia or mythologizing fantasy.
