This research examined the association between covert narcissism and imagined interactions, a type of social cognition and intrapersonal communication using the hypersensitive narcissism scale and the Survey of Imagined Interactions. Covert narcissism defined as hypersensitivity to criticism and overcompensating with inflated self exaggeration has been ignored in communication and in psychology. A regression analysis based on 252 participants revealed support for hypotheses demonstrating associations between frequency, self-dominance, ruminating about conflict and narcissism as well as significant associations between lack of compensation, relational maintenance, and covert narcissism. Results are discussed in terms of an intrapersonal communication profile of covert narcissism.
