Covert narcissists can appear very soft, harmless and nice 99% of the time but they are still dangerous.

The Uriah Heep personality type.

A lot of child abuse victims watch out for this type instinctively.

Think about it. No one is 100% nice and harmless so if that's how they appear then they are putting on a facade. Then you have to ask "why?"

Probably the only person on Earth who came even close in recent years was Fred Rogers. Over 20 years since he died, and there still hasn't been (AFAIK) even a whiff of anything dirty about him.

I often find people who tend to be the nicest and friendliest people are usually ones with a checkered past.

Edit: keep in mind I’m referring to people who have made an effort to change for the better.

I'm thinking of most of the old school transsexuals I encountered who were/are outwardly demure and passive. They're engaging in their 'submissive woman' act in those moments, with people who are actively enabling their charade. Someone like this delivery driver comes along and bursts that fantasy bubble (even unintentionally) and his true male self comes out.

Well, that also plays a role, since the people like the murderer in this case are the "we don't owe you being demure and passive, accept us as an incredible POS as well!" types.
