Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

How Covert Narcissists Slowly Destroy Your Personality


Listen Later

By the time you realise what’s happening, you’re no longer you.

In this eye-opening episode I dive deep into how covert narcissists slowly chip away at, and dismantle your personality, piece by piece.

We’re talking about the subtle manipulation tactics that don’t leave bruises but completely rewrite who you are:

Why covert narcissists target your self-esteem and independence

How they use gaslighting, guilt, and fake concern to erode your confidence

What it feels like when your values, beliefs, and even your sense of humour no longer feel like your own

How survivors often don’t recognise themselves anymore

“You’re not ‘too sensitive’—you’re being conditioned to question your reality.”

Whether the narcissist is a partner, parent, colleague, or friend, the long-term psychological effects of narcissistic abuse are real—and they’re devastating. This episode explores how your core identity is gradually overwritten by a covert narcissist’s control.

“Their goal isn’t to love you—it’s to control who you become.”

If you’ve ever felt like a shell of your former self, or like your personality has been “trained out” of you, this episode will help you make sense of the confusion, reclaim your identity, and start the healing process.
