Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

How do Narcissists use Triangulation to Pit People against each other?


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself caught in the middle of someone else's drama, unsure how you ended up there? That’s triangulation at play. Narcissists thrive on turning people against each other to maintain power, sow confusion, and deflect attention from their behaviour. Whether it’s in families, friendships, workplaces, or romantic relationships, this tactic can leave victims feeling isolated, confused, and doubting their own perceptions.

In this episode I unpack exactly how narcissists use triangulation to manipulate, breaking down:

The subtle ways they pit people against each other.

How they create competition, jealousy, and mistrust.

The emotional toll triangulation takes on victims and their relationships.

Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic parent, partner, or colleague, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you break free from their manipulation.
