10 Ways the Covert Female Narcissist Manipulates You

Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

She seems so sweet—how could she be the problem? That’s exactly the mask the covert female narcissist wears while slowly chipping away at your confidence, your voice, and your sense of reality.
In today’s powerful episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we’re pulling back the curtain on 10 subtle but deeply damaging ways the covert female narcissist erodes your self-esteem—and often, your entire sense of self. Whether it’s your narcissistic mother, sister, partner, friend, boss or even a "mean girl" in your social circle, these women are masters of manipulation, sabotage, and emotional control—but they do it all behind a mask of innocence.
We cover:
The weaponised “victim” role she plays to guilt you
How she uses backhanded compliments and passive-aggressive digs to keep you second-guessing
How she sets you up to fail, just so she can swoop in as your 'rescuer'
The ways she turns people against you subtly, yet deliberately
And much more...
