Flying Monkeys

Flying Monkeys

Flying monkey is a phrase sometimes used in popular psychology to describe people who are acting at the behalf of another to victimize a targeted individual.

Flying Monkeys like the flying monkeys. They serve to make the victim feel unworthy and doubtful of their own expertise and strength.

Flying Monkeys devalue, destroy, and eventually discard their targeted victim’s reputation. Flying monkeys work under the influence of the narcissists. Flying monkeys let the narcissists pull their strings while narcissists remain hidden behind the curtain relying on these flying monkeys to help destroy victim’s good name.

Flying monkeys become entangled in a narcissist's scheme portraying the narcissist as the victim and their target as the culprit.

Narcissists use friends and family of the victim to spy on them, spread gossip while painting the narcissist as the victim and their target as the perpetrator. Flying monkeys can be your friends, family, coworkers or the narcissist's friends, family, or coworkers.

Narcissists and people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) make you feel worthless and numb, and they leave you wondering if you're even a real person sometimes.

Being involved with a narcissist can be a crazy roller-coaster ride of emotions - from the highest of the highs to the lowest of the lows.

That's because their gaslighting and manipulation tactics are so well-honed and laser-targeted that you often don’t even realize that you’ve become codependent and enmeshed in a toxic relationship until it’s too late.
