If You’ve Ever Felt Controlled, Gaslit, or Powerless in a Conversation… This book is for you! Do you constantly find yourself on the losing side of influence? Ever walked away from a conversation feeling manipulated but couldn’t prove it? Do you feel like others are pulling the strings in your relationships, career, or social life… and you can’t figure out how to fight back? Most people are completely blind to the psychological tactics being used against them every single day—by narcissists, salespeople, partners, bosses, and even “friends”.

Do you feel drained, anxious, or unsure of who you are after dealing with someone who never yells-but always controls? You're not overreacting. You may be dealing with a covert narcissist-the kind who hides behind charm, silence, and subtle manipulation. The Silent Narcissist is your essential guide to spotting the quietest form of emotional abuse and reclaiming your power. Unlike loud, obvious narcissists, covert ones erode your confidence with passive-aggressive digs, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional withdrawal-leaving you confused and blaming yourself.
