Schizoid Narcissist is Not Covert Narcissist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arPU91dtx9U&t=72s1. Do you see yourself in any of the descriptions of the four sub-categories?
2. Is this in Vaknin’s Malignant Self-Love, or is it a new idea he’s come up with after this book’s publication?
3. If it’s new, is there a transcript or text version, preferable printable?
4. Do you strongly reject this theory?
5. Do you doubt it?
6. Do you find it persuasive?
The inner life of the secret schizoid is incommunicable.

Just sounds like a representation of closet narcissism. Depends on what diagnostic system they use some see them as unable to coexist and others not. Some narcissists will be more higher functioning than others. Able to pull off the grandiose image while other can’t. I guess it depends on if you think more sub types and labels are needed, I personally don’t some narcissists are absolutely loners, there are plenty of example of psychopaths and anti socials being loners and lone wolfs it’s pretty common as well.
