My new concepts are now being shamelessly plagiarized and stolen - and not for the first time: “snapshotting” (confusing external and internal or introjected objects), the dual mothership (regression to infancy in intimate relationships), and the shared fantasy space, among others.

I found one exception, a breath of fresh air: this guy @shadowdeangelis on Instagram (Cyberviking on TikTok). 

The covert narcissist steals from you habitually: your ideas, your life’s work, your girlfriends and wives, your job, your money, anything he can.

He acts this way for 3 reasons:

Self-aggrandisement

Oneupmanship

Passive-aggression (symbolic hyperreflexive consuming of the frustrating object of narcissistic rivalry and malicious envy)

To be able to face himself in the mirror and to allay his justified fear of retribution, the covert narcissist deploys a host of good object infantile primitive defenses:

denial (the things I am stealing do not really belong to him and actually what I am doing is for the greater good);

repression (I don’t recall the stolen ideas or goods being someone else’s);

splitting (he is a bad person and deserves what I am doing to him, so my acts of pure theft are punitive and morally upright); and

projection (he stole these things from me or I paid for them, so I am just reclaiming them).
