- 0:30narcissists obsessed with how they look, with how they appear.

- 1:05If y'all know where it's from, just drop the movie in the

- 1:13Where did that come out? Oh yeah, 80 eighties, 1988.
- 1:17Yep, Yep, Yep. The The movie and the character.
- 1:20You get bonus points. But yes, y'all.
- 1:23So why are a lot of narcissists obsessed with how we look?
- 1:28Because the in the outside and how we look protect against the
- 1:34the guard, the inside, you know, the in the outside helps protect
- 1:41and cover up what's inside or beneath the surface.
- 1:46You know what I mean? No matter how good a
- 1:48narcissistic person looks, no matter how physically attractive
- 1:52in shape they are right beneath the surface, in a right buried
- 1:59beneath the surface of a narcissistic person's skin in a
- 2:02very shallow the shallowest grave, is there insecurities
- 2:07right beneath the surface. That's why you get you get so
- 2:10many narcissistic people that are super insecure, extremely,
- 2:16extremely insecure people. Y'all.
- 2:19And that's not me BS and that's not me making yeah, extremely
- 2:22insecure people like people who just beautiful people you like
- 2:25just physically attracted me. Like damn you look you you are
- 2:29amazing looking person, but they'd be super insecure by how
- 2:32they look. They always focus, they always,
- 2:33always looking in the mirror and make sure their hair is good or
- 2:36their dreads or fine, you know, their dreads or up or up to par
- 2:41or or you know, being very well taken care of.
- 2:44Teeth look good, you know, I'm in a gym, I'm working out eating
- 2:47good like whatever, like y'all. That's why they're so obsessed
- 2:51with it, because they know if they don't have the outside, the
- 2:54inside will come out. People will see the inside.
- 2:56If I build up the outside enough, you'll focus on the
- 3:00outside and the inside doesn't matter to you, you know what I'm
- 3:03saying? So many.
- 3:03There's no, you get so many hollow ass, physically
- 3:07attractive people, especially the hollow physically attractive
- 3:10narcissists. The people don't have any
- 3:11person. A lot of them don't have any
- 3:12personalities. They just look good.
- 3:15But they're horrible people, you know, horrible people.
- 3:18Beautiful devils. You see what I'm saying?
- 3:20Beautiful devils. You're like, damn you are a
- 3:22beautiful person, but you goddamn devil like you.
- 3:24You literally have a Trident like do you keep your Trident in
- 3:28your purse or in your your your your satchel is your is your
- 3:33Trident. Is it foldable like a tripod?
- 3:35You mean like goodness gracious like.
- 3:39But they do this y'all because they know the inside is it's
- 3:42easy to hurt a narcissist fillers.
- 3:44It's very easy to hurt an insecure, fragile, narcissistic
- 3:47person fillers. But just talk about how they
- 3:49look. So how they look, no matter how
- 3:52good they look, it's just easy to hurt their feelings.
- 3:54Like it's just like, oh goodness, they're not insecure.
- 3:56There's no way that person is insecure.
- 3:58That's what they want you to think.
- 3:59You see a physically attractive, narcissistic person that is so
- 4:03focused and hyper focused on their lips and how they smell
- 4:05and stuff like that, you would automatically think that person
- 4:08has nothing to be insecure about, but they're extremely
- 4:11insecure about every single thing.
- 4:13That's why they got to make sure everything looks good.
- 4:15I got a nice car, nice clothes, nice face, nice teeth, nice
- 4:18body, nice everything because I need to protect against what's
- 4:22beneath the surface. I don't want you to see beneath,
- 4:25behind the quote, UN quote, behind the curtain and what not
- 4:29of who I am behind the curtain, of who I am and what I have
- 4:33going on. I don't want you to see that.
- 4:36I don't want anybody to see that.
- 4:38You know what I mean? I don't want that either.
- 4:40I don't want that to happen. And people, like I said, I don't
- 4:43want people to see it. It doesn't need to be seen.
- 4:45So I work on the outside. I work on the exterior.
- 4:48It's just like having a nice house.
- 4:50Like you see, the house is nice on the outside, but the inside
- 4:53is, oh God, that's perfect. It's almost the perfect
- 4:57description of it right there. Y'all It's like having a nice,
- 5:00beautiful, whatever type of house that you like.
- 5:03If you didn't know. If y'all don't know this.
- 5:04I'm a real estate agent in North Carolina in the Greensboro, NC
- 5:08area. I'm a real estate agent.
- 5:09So if y'all need the house, e-mail me.
- 5:12You need to buy or sell the house in.
- 5:13In the North Carolina area, e-mail me.
- 5:16But it's like having a beautiful house, a beautiful exterior.
- 5:19The yard is very kempt. The yard is perfectly
- 5:23landscaped. Mulch is the the mulch is
- 5:26mulching. The grass is grassing, the
- 5:29driveway is driveway. You said that the hedges are
- 5:32hedging. The exterior is beautiful, but
- 5:36when you open the front door, stuff starts falling into the
- 5:39front yard. It's a hoarder's house.
- 5:41You see what I'm saying? The inside is a mess.
- 5:45The inside is very unkempt and very nasty and dirty.
- 5:49The inside is a literally stacked full of trauma and
- 5:53unique experiences that they haven't dealt with, repressed
- 5:56memories and stuff like that. It's a hoarder's house.
- 5:59Narcissistic people are beautiful hoarder houses.
- 6:02They hoard their emotions. We hoard our emotions.
- 6:05We hoard our trauma. We hoarded.
- 6:08I've been watching hoarders on Netflix here recently.
- 6:09Do me and my wife watching for go to sleep.
- 6:12But literally that's how it is right there.
- 6:14Y'all is the the house, the the extra you can you can people
- 6:17drive by this house all the time.
- 6:19You would never get this. This happens on Hoarders.
- 6:21You ever seen TV show hoarders? People drive by the house all
- 6:24the time? Would never guess what was going
- 6:25on behind, behind the scenes. You would never guess what's
- 6:28behind that front door. You would never guess what's in
- 6:30the garage or in the backyard behind that 10 foot fence.
- 6:33You would never guess it. You would never guess it.
- 6:36Behind the surface, behind the surface, beneath the surface of
- 6:39a physically attractive or in shape narcissistic person,
- 6:43wealthy, narcissistic person, They beneath the surface of that
- 6:46person. It's a lot of turmoil and mess.
- 6:48They're hoarding the negativity. They're hoarding toxicity.
- 6:52You see what I'm saying? Yeah, I just came up to that off
- 6:54the top of my head. Y'all know, y'all been watching
- 6:56it for any type, any type of extended period of time.
- 6:58Y'all know. If I think it, I say it.
- 7:01You see what I'm saying? It might not hit with everybody
- 7:04that's going to hit with somebody.
- 7:05Why? It's not it might not hit with
- 7:06everybody, but it's going to hit with the.
- 7:08It's going to reach the people needs to reach.
- 7:10You know what I mean? People tell me Slow, slow down,
- 7:11slow down. This is how I talk.
- 7:14This is how I talk like slow down late go.
- 7:16I understand, I talk fast. But that's just, that's me,
- 7:19that's me. You know what I mean?
- 7:21But this is, but this is how it goes like.
- 7:23So I just feel like narcissistic people.
- 7:25A lot of us work on our exteriors when we should be
- 7:29working on our interiors as well.
- 7:31You have beautiful disasters. You have an attractive person
- 7:34and that's what and that keeps so many people bound to
- 7:38narcissist because you are physically attracted to them.
- 7:41You're physically attracted to. Like when your physical
- 7:44attraction outweighs your intuition and your perception,
- 7:47you get you get treated horribly.
- 7:49Y'all, you are so acceptable to abuse and toxicity when you just
- 7:54like when your physical, your physical attraction to this
- 7:57person outweighs your your safety outweighs your dignity
- 8:02outweigh. Like yeah, if you let your
- 8:04physical attraction to this person just it is, it overrides
- 8:08everything. Like this person is so
- 8:09attractive to you, it overrides your damn senses.
- 8:13Like you, you short circuit because they're so physically
- 8:16attractive. You see what I'm saying?
- 8:18They're they're tall, dark and handsome or short.
- 8:20Dark and handsome, Short, dark and beautiful, short, tall,
- 8:22dark. Whatever it is, whatever the
- 8:24description is, you see what I'm saying?
- 8:26However you describe this person, whatever you find
- 8:28attractive, the dad by whatever y'all is, the mom whatever y'all
- 8:33find attractive. See what I'm saying?
- 8:34Everybody's attraction is the attraction is unique to the
- 8:37person, the person to the person experiencing it.
- 8:41You see what I'm saying? But whatever you find physically
- 8:43attracted, if you are attracted to this person, it's hard for
- 8:45you to let them go like hey, because you know other people
- 8:48are going to want them. He's like, well people will put
- 8:49people will tolerate stuff from people that are pretty or you
- 8:53handsome. He's like, yeah, they might
- 8:56treat me horribly, might cheat on me, but that's kind of what
- 9:00you have to put up when we dating a beautiful person.
- 9:01You see what I'm saying? No, you don't.
- 9:04No, you don't. But I'm just saying,
- 9:06narcissisted people weaponize their attractiveness job.
- 9:08Some of them know that they're physically, physically
- 9:10attractive, but they know they're emotionally
- 9:12unattractive. And that's like when you're
- 9:14physically attractive but emotionally unattractive.
- 9:17A lot of times your physical attractiveness overrides.
- 9:20Because I say the short people short circuit.
- 9:23You know what I'm saying? People short circuit around
- 9:25physically attractive people, even if they treated you
- 9:27horribly. That was that was saying
- 9:28narcissistic people focus on that Y'all.
- 9:30They want to look good. They want to stand out in crowds
- 9:32because they know my if I lay, if I lead with my, if I lead
- 9:36with who I really am, you might not want me.
- 9:39If I will lead with how I look. You might want me.
- 9:42If I leave with a smile. You might want me.
- 9:44If I leave with my body, you might want me.
- 9:45If I leave with my money, you might want me.
- 9:48But if I leave with my actual personality of who I really AM
- 9:51and my insecurities, You're not going to with my flaws.
- 9:54You probably won't want me. That's my thought process.
- 9:56That's the narcissistic person's thought process.
- 9:58If I lead with anything else. If I lead with anything else
- 10:03other than my looks, then I then I don't.
- 10:06Then it won't work out for me. I can't win here.
- 10:09You mean there's no I lose? That's the thought process of a
- 10:13lot of narcissist right there. Y'all because I I don't think I
- 10:16can win. I don't think this is winnable
- 10:19doing. I don't think that you will want
- 10:20me if I show you who I really AM.
- 10:23And that's why you get a lot of narcissist people when they I do
- 10:26it on the video, this right here when they get older.
- 10:27I've done a few videos, but like when they get older and they
- 10:30start, their looks are to fade. Whoever is with this person, you
- 10:33got a that beautiful devil is going to turn into an old devil.
- 10:37If they're a beautiful devil when they're younger and their
- 10:39looks start to fade, you know they don't have the money and
- 10:41they're not the success. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness,
- 10:45Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. And the last thing I'll say
- 10:49before I hop off for y'all is that when a narcissistic person
- 10:52like, another reason they focus on their looks is because it's
- 10:54how to get supplies. It's the easy way to get supply
- 10:56and validation. Easy way to get supply and
- 10:58validation. If I got a nice body, if I look
- 10:59good, got a nice smile like this, then it's an easy way for
- 11:03me to get validation and supply. It's just easy.
- 11:05People throw people. Like I said, people just throw
- 11:07themselves at them. This is how it goes.
- 11:08Y'all Bailey is a rich, famous artist.
- 11:10People just literally throw themselves at their feet.
- 11:12Oh, you're beautiful. Oh, you're high.
- 11:13You've got money. Yeah.
- 11:15Supply, supply. Supply and demand.
- 11:17You see what I'm saying? I demand the supply.
- 11:20It's demand and supply. We're in the normal relationship
- 11:22is supply and demand in the narcissist relationship, is
- 11:24demand the supply you mean. Thank y'all.
