FLYING MONKEYS: THE ONES WHO DO THE NARCISSIST’S DIRTY WORK

By R. Trent Rose — The Writer

Let’s talk about the people nobody warns you about…

Flying monkeys.

They’re the ones who protect the narcissist’s image, carry the narcissist’s messages, and do the dirty work while the narcissist keeps their hands clean.

A narcissist rarely fights alone.
They build a team.

And flying monkeys are usually:
• the “best friend” who always takes their side
• the family member who repeats their lies like facts
• the coworker who joins the smear campaign
• the new supply who believes the fake story
• the “neutral” person who’s actually gathering info for them

They act like they’re helping… but really they’re enforcing the narcissist’s control.

WHAT FLYING MONKEYS DO

They don’t just defend the narcissist…

They become an extension of them.

They will:
• lie for them
• minimize what they did
• rewrite the story
• pressure you to forgive
• spy and report back
• triangulate (“everybody agrees with them”)
• attack your character so the narcissist doesn’t have to
• bait you into reacting so they can call you “crazy”

And the reason it works is because it feels like a group.

You start thinking:
“Maybe I am wrong… everybody’s saying it.”

No.
That’s not truth.

That’s recruitment.

Flying monkeys help the narcissist build a reality where the narcissist is always the victim, always the hero, always misunderstood… and you’re always the problem.

WHY THEY DO IT

Some do it because they’re scared of the narcissist.
Some do it because they benefit from the narcissist.
Some do it because they’re naive and got lied to.
Some do it because they love being “chosen” and “in the inner circle.”

But here’s the real reason:

Flying monkeys want position more than truth.

They want to be close to power.
They want to feel important.
They want to feel safe by being on the “right side.”

So they trade integrity for access.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM IN THE END

This is the part they never think about:

A narcissist doesn’t love loyalty.
They love utility.

Flying monkeys are disposable.

When the narcissist is done using them, one of two things happens:
1. They get thrown under the bus.
The same person they defended will sacrifice them to protect the image.
And they’ll act shocked… like snakes don’t bite.
2. They become the next target.
Because if you can lie for them, you can lie on them.
If you can smear someone else, you can be smeared too.
And once the narcissist senses you’re not useful anymore… your position gets replaced.

Flying monkeys eventually learn a hard truth:

You can’t be loyal enough to make a disordered person safe.

You can’t protect someone’s mask forever.

And when the truth finally comes out, flying monkeys don’t just lose friendships…

They lose credibility.

Because people remember who helped the abuser.

TEACHING MOMENT

If you’re dealing with a narcissist, stop trying to convince the flying monkeys.

They are not there for truth.
They are there for control.

Don’t argue with a messenger.
Don’t defend yourself in a courtroom they built.

Use the real strategy:

Distance. Boundaries. Receipts. Silence.

Because when you stop feeding the system, the system collapses.

And flying monkeys always fall when the narcissist runs out of people to hide behind.

Workplace bullying !!!

IF YOU EVER NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE REAL BULLY IS AND WHO THE ACTUAL VICTIM IS, LOOK AT WHO STANDS ALONE.

The victim is almost always the one forced to carry the weight in silence. They’re misunderstood, judged, and often disliked—not because they did something wrong, but because they refused to play along, conform, or stay quiet about the harm done to them. Standing alone makes people uncomfortable, so instead of questioning the cruelty, many choose to question the person who survived it.

Meanwhile, the bully is rarely alone. They’re surrounded by groups, enablers, and people who laugh along—not because it’s funny, but because it’s safer to fit in than to speak up. Those people call it “jokes,” “drama,” or “both sides,” just to avoid accountability. Silence and laughter become shields that protect the harm and keep it going.

Power loves an audience. Abuse thrives in crowds. And isolation is often the price paid by the one who tells the truth, sets boundaries, or refuses to accept mistreatment. So when you’re trying to understand the story, don’t just listen to the loudest voices—look for the one standing alone. More often than not, that’s where the truth is.

Cutting ties isn’t about stopping care. It’s about finally admitting the truth: something that once mattered is now draining you dry.

No drama. No hate. Just clarity.

Not everything you love is meant to stay. Even the “good ones” can become toxic when the connection stops growing and starts bleeding you of your peace.

It can be:
A friend who only shows up when they need rescuing.
A job that takes everything and gives nothing back.
A family member who keeps crossing the line and expects you to tolerate it forever.
A partner who makes you feel invisible while standing right beside them.

You kept giving until you realized you were disappearing.
And the moment you start to lose yourself, that’s the moment the truth slaps you: love, loyalty, and responsibility don’t mean a damn thing if you’re breaking down quietly just to keep the peace.

Letting go is not weakness. It’s strength with a backbone.
It’s choosing peace over pretense.
It’s accepting that you don’t need to bleed to prove you care.

People will say you’re cold. They’ll say you’ve changed.
They won’t understand that you’re not shutting people out, you’re finally letting yourself in.

You can’t heal where you were hurt.
You can’t pour from an empty heart.
And you can’t grow while shrinking yourself to fit into spaces you’ve already outgrown.

So when you walk away... from a friend, a job, a relative, or a partner who stopped choosing you, remember this:

You’re not abandoning anyone.
You’re reclaiming yourself.

Sometimes the kindest, most honest, most powerful thing you can do… is to let go.

True leadership is not measured by numbers or titles, it’s measured by the impact you leave on people. A kind word, a moment of support, or simply choosing empathy can stay with someone far longer than you imagine. Great leaders understand that leadership is not just about results; it’s about relationships.

When leaders lead with empathy, they don’t just create teams, they create cultures. Cultures where people thrive, where innovation flourishes, and where kindness fuels performance. Be the leader people remember for how you made them feel, not just for what you achieved.
