Description

This manifestation of flying monkeys feels pressured or coerced into supporting the narcissist due to fear of retaliation or social exclusion. They may go along with the narcissist's demands to avoid becoming a target themselves or to maintain their social standing within the narcissist's circle.

Ekho's Experience

In my case, Jennifer, the example I gave for Brown-Nose Bunny, also fits here too well to ignore.

In the days following my assault, Jennifer pretended to be on my side and even sent me encouraging messages and support. I had always been kind to her and included her in our social events, even though none of my narcissist’s friends wanted her there.

My narcissist’s first wife Prissy never wanted Jennifer's daughter to be included in their eldest son’s social circle, even though they were in the same grade and went to the same school, because she was “autistic and weird”. I was sure to invite her nonetheless.

Anyways, as I have shared previously, my narcissist and his first wife were quasi-royalty of the church that we all attended. They worked together to encourage Jennifer to turn on me. I would imagine that she wanted to keep some footing with her social circle at church and the parents of her daughter’s peers, so the choice was rather easy. She was constantly gossiping about everyone in our community, so I am sure it gave her a thrill to extend her venom to me.
