According to one of the many published psychologists, Internet Trolls and Incels are considered covert narcissists.
I NEVER thought that these two could be considered that but now I find them very chilling in an uncomfortable way. :(

Covert narcissists are the scariest. I don't know what is worse, the outward ones or the convert ones. Also there is a overlap between autism and covert narcissism and an overlap between BPD and covert narcissism. My ex was definitely a covert narcissist but he also had BPD. Covert narcissism is so hard to spot it can be mistaken for autism to explain their behavior towards the victim. The the victim continues to let it happen thinking they don't know any better and it's not intentional. I believe lot of partners on AS Partners are actually narcissistits than aspies. The women there just place that aspie label on them. Men get upset if their wife is found to not be aspie and say she faked out the doctor.
