Enablers, Flying Monkeys, Supply... OH MY!

All Are Supply – But Not All Supply Is Equal

Supply is the umbrella. If someone gives Narcy attention, energy, admiration, support and protection — they’re supply. But not all supply plays the same role.

Enablers & Flying Monkeys: The Functional Supply

These are the gears in the machine:

• Enablers excuse her behavior and stay silent even when they know better.
• Flying Monkeys actively defend her, spread her narrative, and do her dirty work — often unknowingly.

Main Supply: The Premium Multi-Tool

Main supply is the ultimate role. This person is:

• Her biggest enabler
• Her most loyal flying monkey
• Her go-to honey-doer and emotional landfill

They must support her, defend her, serve her — and look good doing it. Narcy has needs — and supply isn’t optional. It’s her oxygen. Vital to her very existence.

But here's the part people often miss: Narcy is incredibly needy — not in a vulnerable, open-hearted way, but in a coldly opportunistic one. Her neediness drives her to constantly assess who she can get something from. Whether trivial or important, future or immediate.

The Illusion of Independence

She screams independence, flaunting how little she “needs” anyone. But the truth is… she’s hooked. On people. On praise. On power plays. Her cries of “I’ve got this” are a cover — a smokescreen for a deep reliance on others. Beneath that act is a truth she’ll never admit: She’s deeply dependent on supply. Emotional labor, attention, status, favors, protection — it's all fuel. She needs attention. She needs validation. She needs a steady stream of emotional oxygen — and she’ll go to great lengths to disguise that need as power.

She Has no Filter

In recruiting Supply she lacks a filter. But her lack of a filter isn’t a quirk — it’s strategy. She reads and scans the room for its usefulness. If there is attention, praise, a compliment, contribution, or possible free service she will extract it or initiate it.

To recognize an opportunist like Narcy, look for behavior that is consistently self-serving, boundaryless, and layered with shallow charm. They don’t just want help. They want the easiest route to getting it — and they’ll say or do whatever it takes.

The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker…

Everyone in Narcy’s world is potential supply. Even strangers. She flirts, she vents, she dry-begs — not always because she needs something now, but because she knows she eventually will.

She Uses People.

Narcy doesn’t say “supply,” “enabler,” or “flying monkey.” But she knows exactly who will feed her, who will fear her, and who will defend her — even when she’s wrong. She doesn’t label roles. She recognizes their quality then assigns them. This is an ongoing process where many a supply will come and go. Some are tucked away for future use. Some put on back burners Some discarded by neglect or some just forgotten.

When the Network Starts to Fail

With age, the charm fades. The supply pool shrinks. Enablers get wise. Flying monkeys find better causes. Main supply burns out. And Narcy’s empire of borrowed power starts to show cracks.

She was once adored. Now she’s tolerated. And in time — avoided. But don’t worry… she’s already scanning for someone new.
