🗒️ Understanding the Darkness
Narcissists deploy insidious tactics like smear campaigns and employ "flying monkeys" to do their bidding. The smear campaign is a tool wielded by narcissists to discredit others, hijacking the narrative post-relationship [3]. This campaign is fueled by the narcissist's desire for control and dominance.
Why Narcissists Inflict Pain:
Insecurity and Vulnerability: Narcissists feel most vulnerable when their narcissistic supply is empty, triggering destructive behaviors [2].
Need for Control: Smear campaigns serve as a means of maintaining control and power over their victims.
