Overt vs Covert
Overt = out in the open where you can clearly see it. Covert = hidden, sneaky.
There are two kinds of narcissists: overt and covert, bullies and victims. Two kinds of martyrs.
Both kinds seek control, being #1.
Overt, the bullies, make it clear: my way or else.
Covert play the poor me game and they play it well because they really believe in it. They have been victimized no matter what their actual role which they are unable to see for themselves.
