Number five: their facial expressions don’t lie. A narcissist may try to keep up appearances, but their face tells the truth. You may notice tightness in their jaw, an unnatural stiffness in their smile, or a flicker of panic when they think no one is looking. Their once confident demeanor looks forced, almost robotic.
They may start making exaggerated expressions to overcompensate—forced grins, over-the-top facial expressions, or expressions that do not quite match the situation. It’s as if their face is struggling to keep up with the act they have performed so well for years. As they realize they cannot maintain their illusion, the more their face betrays them.
