Chances are, your friend group has a narcissist in it. Do you know exactly who I mean, or not? Narcissists are known for their self-centeredness, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Yet many narcissists are excellent at hiding these traits, especially in social situations.

They use clever tricks to remain unnoticed and often even become well-liked within a group. So, it’s highly likely that you won’t realize you’re dealing with a narcissist, whether in your family or friend circle. Strange, but true. So, what do they do?

1. They’re Charming

Narcissists can be extremely charming and charismatic, especially when they’re in a new group. They know how to make a good first impression with their confidence and attractive appearance. They can be very persuasive, which helps them quickly earn respect and admiration from others.

Because of this charming façade, people often think the narcissist is friendly and approachable, while their self-centered and manipulative side remains well-hidden. This makes it hard for others to see their true nature, especially at first.

2. They’re Very Nice

They know exactly what to say and do to come across as understanding and compassionate. In reality, they use this ‘empathy’ as a way to bond with people and achieve their own goals. Narcissists may listen attentively and respond empathetically to someone’s problems, but their interest is often shallow and short-lived.

3. They Never Argue

Narcissists have a strong need to be liked and will do anything to protect their image. Therefore, they often avoid confrontations and conflicts in group situations. They’re aware that standing out by arguing or acting aggressively can damage their carefully built reputation.

4. They’re a Victim, Never the Bully

They don’t bully, and they’re not mean. They’re the victim. One of the most effective tricks narcissists use to stay unnoticed is playing the victim. They can present themselves as someone who has been wronged or mistreated, making others sympathize with them and not see them as a threat.

5. They Give Compliments

Narcissists know how to flatter and compliment others to win their sympathy. However, they do this subtly so it doesn’t seem too obvious. For example, they may praise someone’s intelligence or talents, but always with an underlying intention to bind that person to them and gain control over them. So, it’s not sincere. You see, they say it, but they don’t mean a word of it. It’s something you’ll find hard to notice.

So, watch out and pay attention to subtle things like this. Don’t let someone fool you too easily. You control how your life goes, in any relationship or friendship.
