Flying monkeys are individuals who become allies or enablers of narcissists.

Identifying a flying monkey can be challenging, as they often appear well-meaning or oblivious to the narcissist’s manipulation.
However, there are signs that can help identify their role. Firstly, flying monkeys often exhibit a lack of critical thinking or independent judgement. They blindly support the narcissist’s version of events without questioning or seeking the other side of the story. Secondly, they may engage in gossip or spreading rumors about the target, further perpetuating the narcissist’s narrative. Lastly, flying monkeys may exhibit a sudden change in behavior towards the target, becoming hostile or distant without any apparent reason.

Dealing with flying monkeys can be challenging, but it is not impossible. The first step is to recognize and acknowledge the role they play in the narcissist’s manipulation.
Once identified, it’s essential to set firm boundaries and avoid engaging with them. Responding to their provocations or attempting to defend oneself may only fuel the narcissist’s agenda.
Instead, focus on building a strong support system of trusted individuals who understand the dynamics of narcissistic abuse.
Seeking therapy or professional help can also provide guidance and coping strategies to navigate the complex emotions associated with dealing with flying monkeys.
Setting boundaries with flying monkeys is crucial for protecting oneself from further harm.
Clearly communicate your limits and expectations, and be prepared to enforce consequences if they are violated.
Avoid divulging personal information or engaging in discussions that may give the flying monkeys ammunition to use against you.
Remember, you have the right to protect yourself and prioritize your well-being.
