Oh, and to offer you a solid piece of advice, us covert narcs (and us INTJ personality types for that manner) are best suited to make ourselves look the best that we can possibly be to everybody else so that people come flocking to us.
Getting one's online/professional image polished seems like the best bet along with getting your looks to where they attract people if possible (if not, making yourself sound like you have a lot to offer people in the terms of business or one's career helps too).
Also it might be wise to minimize one's lies to the outside world as too much lying can come back to bite you while making it difficult to let people close to you without being discovered so instead of outright lying, stick to over exaggerating accomplishments and being truthful about things about yourself that people may like (when applicable). Also, if you're not already confident in your social abilities, taking a course in charisma and/or poise and etiquette would work wonders making it easier for you to charm and influence people. Finally, taking a couple of courses in persuasive psychology would do wonders in helping an introvert become a better manipulator.
Finally, keeping most people at a distance is ideal as most people don't deserve trust and one's inner circle is best suited for the select few deserving people who come into your life.
It's a long journey for people like us to get the love and acceptance that we're entitled to in life, but I hope I have managed to help so far!
