Transcript
- 0:00So 6 questions. Six.
- 0:02We're at number right? That narcissist cannot answer
- 0:06with any specificity or in in great detail.
- 0:10If you're new here in my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:11I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:14another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:35Welcome back, Welcome back. Welcome back folks.
- 0:37Seriously, 6 questions that a narcissist Cannot answer in
- 0:42Great Detail. They give you vague answers or
- 0:44answers that really tell you how they feel.
- 0:47The egotistical nature of a lot of narcissistic people kick like
- 0:52kicks into play. So question number one is going
- 0:57to be, what would you do if your son or daughter or a family
- 1:01member was in this situation? Like, I tell this to people all
- 1:05the time right here. Like narcissistic people
- 1:09struggle to put themselves in the shoes of other people, like
- 1:13and they can't imagine a scenario where their son or
- 1:16daughter will be in a situation that you are trying to put them
- 1:19in like they it just can't. They won't answer that question
- 1:22with any specificity. They'll tell you things like,
- 1:24well, what what did my son or daughter do to get it in this
- 1:28situation? What did they do wrong?
- 1:29Like, how did they get there? Or they'll say something like,
- 1:32well, my son or daughter wouldn't be stupid enough to get
- 1:35themselves in that situation because I'm their father and I
- 1:38would guide them along the right direction.
- 1:39Or they will come at you and ask you why you are speaking
- 1:43hypotheticals. Speak in a moment.
- 1:45Right now. Very rarely would they give you
- 1:47an authentic answer and an authentic, vulnerable answer to
- 1:53that question. They can't.
- 1:55It's them. They're like they almost like
- 1:57they can't do it. Like really like they truly
- 1:59cannot do it. Like they don't know how to put
- 2:00themselves in the shoes of other people, so they cannot put them
- 2:04their own children or their own family members in the shoes of
- 2:07other people either, if that makes any sense.
- 2:10That happens quite a bit in these toxic relationship
- 2:12dynamics. Like that's one of the tell tale
- 2:14signs they won't be able to do it.
- 2:17Like this is the question you can ask that you can.
- 2:18This is a question you can ask them.
- 2:20Or what would you do if your sister was?
- 2:21What would you do if your sister was in this situation?
- 2:24Or your brother, or your mom, or your dad?
- 2:26Boom. You'll get some type of vague
- 2:28answer of like here. Like a lot of times the
- 2:32narcissistic person's superiority complex will kick in
- 2:35and they'll just put their family members or their or their
- 2:38people above you in this situation.
- 2:41Because a lot of times when you're asking that question,
- 2:44it's pertaining to something that they are doing to you,
- 2:46right? Or something that they're doing
- 2:48to a family member close to yours.
- 2:50So that happens in quite a bit. So that's one question that they
- 2:52cannot answer with very much specificity at all or in great
- 2:57detail, or they'll refuse to answer it.
- 2:58Like I said, they're just like, why are you speaking the
- 3:00hypotheticals? They might refuse to answer that
- 3:02question because they know it's like you, you got them dead to
- 3:06rights. So they don't want to answer it
- 3:07because they it will take them. It'll take them to a different
- 3:10place. Let's just say it like that.
- 3:14Question #2 Why can't you just tell the truth?
- 3:19That's a deep one right there, isn't it?
- 3:20That's a deep question right there.
- 3:21I know. Y'all just, like, damn.
- 3:22But that's right. Right there, lady.
- 3:24Why? Why can't they just tell the
- 3:25truth? Why can't they just be real?
- 3:29Because, like, if you ask them that question, why can't you
- 3:31just tell the truth? They will give you some type of
- 3:33vague, weird answer. They'll gaslight you.
- 3:35They'll manipulate you. They'll say something.
- 3:37All right? You don't deserve the truth.
- 3:39You know you can't help. They'll they'll hit you with a
- 3:42Jack Nicholson. You can't help with the truth.
- 3:45Did you order the code red? Did you order the code Red?
- 3:47You that man, Right, I did. That was a powerful scene.
- 3:52You know what? It But that happens.
- 3:56They can't answer that question with very much specificity.
- 3:59They'll keep that vague. Why can't you just tell the
- 4:01truth? I know the truth.
- 4:02Or they're just out. Yeah.
- 4:03They'll just outright lie to you and just say that is the truth.
- 4:08I'm telling you the truth. You can.
- 4:09Yeah. You can have proof.
- 4:11You can have a video recording. Y'all you can have.
- 4:14You can have a signed affidavit by them admitting to being wrong
- 4:19and they still will deny it. The truth doesn't serve them
- 4:22y'all. If the truth doesn't serve me,
- 4:24I'm not going to tell the truth. So very rarely would they be
- 4:27able to answer that question right there with the truth.
- 4:30Why can't you just tell the truth?
- 4:31They won't be able to give it to you.
- 4:33They won't be able to ask that. They won't be able to give it to
- 4:35you with any type of fire or any type of specificity, so be
- 4:38prepared for that to happen all the time.
- 4:40Y'all that happens all the time in these relationship spaces.
- 4:43Question #3, what is your greatest weakness or
- 4:47vulnerability? Yes, in their face because they
- 4:55when you ask a narcissistic person this question, which is
- 4:58like it's kind of like in a job interview, you might remember
- 5:01the job interviews back in the day.
- 5:02I don't know if they still do that nowadays, but when they ask
- 5:04you tell me one time when you failed, tell me one, tell me
- 5:07your greatest weakness. Typically they'll try to make it
- 5:10seem like their strength is a weakness, like their greatest
- 5:12weakness is somehow a strength. My greatest weakness is that I
- 5:17care too much. My greatest weakness.
- 5:22I don't have any weaknesses. My greatest weakness.
- 5:28I'm too empathetic, I'm too kind.
- 5:31It's something like, y'all. Very rarely would they just say
- 5:33my greatest weakness is that I haven't dealt with my childhood
- 5:36trauma and I'm triggered very easily by criticism.
- 5:40Very rarely are you going to hear that.
- 5:42You might not ever hear that listen.
- 5:44You might not ever hear that. Very rarely, when you hear that,
- 5:47we hear them be real with that right there.
- 5:50Because why would they? Why would they?
- 5:53They want to Narcissistic people care about their image so much
- 5:55that they're very rarely going to make their image look bad by
- 5:58telling you a weakness. Because you know another reason
- 6:00why they won't give you a direct answer?
- 6:02Because they know that they use their your weaknesses and other
- 6:05people's weaknesses against them.
- 6:08Like if somebody told me their weakness, that's that's Canon,
- 6:12That's Canon, That's a Canon. Father.
- 6:14Father. For me to fire at them later on.
- 6:17Man, you told me your weakness. I'm going to use it against you.
- 6:20Why? You told it to you.
- 6:21You offered it up. I'm going to use it against you.
- 6:24So I if I know I use other people with weaknesses against
- 6:28them. Of course I'm going to use your
- 6:31witnesses against like I'm expecting you to use my
- 6:34weaknesses against me. So they're not going to tell you
- 6:36their greatest weakness or they're going to make it seem
- 6:39like their greatest weakness is somehow a positive or strength.
- 6:42You know, very rarely are they going to be able to answer that
- 6:45question right there. Question number 41234, how does
- 6:51that make you feel? I saw this on Cora.
- 6:53Somebody asked this question on Cora.
- 6:54How does that make you feel now? So, so imagine like the the
- 7:03reason I pause, I get it, Like dramatic acting pause after
- 7:06every question is because I want y'all to take the moment to
- 7:09think about asking the narcissistic person in your
- 7:12life, how does that make them feel?
- 7:13How does something make them feel?
- 7:15How does something make them feel?
- 7:16Because very rarely are you going to see a narcissist.
- 7:19Maybe they're vulnerable narcissist, but very rarely are
- 7:21you going to see a narcissist or a very toxic person be open to
- 7:25tell you telling you how something made them feel.
- 7:28Feelings are feelings in giving you vulnerability.
- 7:30Don't work. Don't serve a lot of
- 7:32narcissists. So they're not going to give
- 7:33that to you. They they like they're not going
- 7:36to OfferUp their weaknesses to you, so to speak.
- 7:38You know, they don't want to seem weak in front of you.
- 7:40They don't want to seem vulnerable in front of you.
- 7:41How does it make you feel? Well, make me feel.
- 7:43I don't know how it makes me feel really.
- 7:46I don't really feel anything right now.
- 7:48I don't I don't know how to feel.
- 7:49Do you need answers like that? Can they can they give you an in
- 7:53depth answer yet? Sometimes they will.
- 7:54Sometimes they'll give you an in depth answer and come at you
- 7:56like that. But most times they're going to
- 7:58say something like they're not going to be able to describe
- 8:01their feelings. Narcissistic people will have a
- 8:03hard time describing in detail their true feelings.
- 8:08How does they make you feel? They're not going to be able to
- 8:10go into great detail about how something makes them feel
- 8:12because very they don't tap into their feelings.
- 8:14Like, I don't. It took me a long time, as a
- 8:17diagnosed narcissist myself, to be able to tap into my feelings.
- 8:22You know, I'm still working on that right now.
- 8:24So it took me a very long time to be able to tap into my own
- 8:27feelings, into my own mindset, into my own mindscape.
- 8:30So I'm still battling that right now, you know?
- 8:32So question #5 what is What did they say?
- 8:365th What are your deepest pains? What are your deepest pains?
- 8:43Pretty much asking them what is their what?
- 8:44What what what hurt you the most.
- 8:48You know it's not your greatest weakness.
- 8:50What is your what is your deepest pain?
- 8:52Greatest weakness and deepest pain.
- 8:53Could they be the same thing? Yeah, absolutely.
- 8:55But your greatest pain is something that's hidden down
- 8:57deep, child. Some childhood trauma, some
- 9:00something bad that happened to something to do, something bad
- 9:02that happened to them. They're they're not willing to
- 9:05deal with something that they're repressing.
- 9:07They don't want to express their pain.
- 9:09That's why a lot of narcissists don't go to therapy right there.
- 9:11Y'all because telling expressing their pain verbally hurts.
- 9:15Expressing pain out loud causes pain.
- 9:19I'll say it like that. Expressing pain verbally causes
- 9:22more pain. That's one of the things that
- 9:25happens all the time. Being able expressing my pain
- 9:28verbally has caused me more pain.
- 9:30I'll say it like that in therapy.
- 9:33It hurts. That's why narcissistic people,
- 9:34you ask them what their greatest pain is.
- 9:36They probably going to avoid. They might avoid the question.
- 9:38They might not be. I don't really have.
- 9:40I don't really have any. I can't think of a time why.
- 9:42Greatest pain. I broke my leg.
- 9:45They'll give you a physical pain, you know, They'll give you
- 9:47some type, some type of physical effect, some type of physical
- 9:51pain. Not any type of emotional.
- 9:52You can ask them what their greatest emotional pain is.
- 9:54What's your deepest emotional pain?
- 9:58They don't need something physical.
- 9:59Oh, man, I broke my arm. I fell off the monkey bars when
- 10:01I was in 4th grade. I was trying to do a back flip
- 10:02and I slipped and fell and broke my arm.
- 10:04And I remember that hurt like head hurt like hell.
- 10:06I had a toothache very recently and I've never experienced pain
- 10:10like that. You're like, you cannot get rid
- 10:12of tooth pain. That just I this that's the
- 10:14greatest probably the greatest pain is that you know probably
- 10:17have to get the wisdom tooth out you know something like that
- 10:20very rarely or they'll be able to give you a deep emotional
- 10:23pain because that that takes tapping into a different space.
- 10:26Right. Deep emotional pain.
- 10:28They don't want to share that trauma with.
- 10:29They don't want to share that trauma with you because why they
- 10:32think you will use it against them because they would use your
- 10:35deepest emotional pain against you that's why.
- 10:38And last but not least, y'all. I did a live on this very
- 10:42recently. But another question.
- 10:44This is a bonus question. Number six, what do you love
- 10:47about me? Ask the narcissistic person in
- 10:50your life, what do they love about you?
- 10:52What do they love about you? Ask them what do you love about
- 10:57you? And typically when they were in
- 10:59the response to this question, they're going to give you things
- 11:03that serve them. They're going to give you things
- 11:06that they love about you, that affect them.
- 11:09I love your smile. I love the way you.
- 11:12I love you, love your existence. Your existence is blessed.
- 11:15I love. I just love you.
- 11:16You complete me. They're going to go on and say
- 11:18they're going to say something. Like I love the way you You're
- 11:20there for me. I love the way you cook for me.
- 11:22I love the way you pay the bills.
- 11:24I love the way you take care of me.
- 11:26I love the way you make me smile.
- 11:28I love the way you do this for me.
- 11:30I love the way you benefit me. I love the way you do.
- 11:32They're going to say something about how it benefits them.
- 11:36The love for you. What a narcissist loves about
- 11:38you is typically going to be in some type of benefit to them,
- 11:43you know? Anyways, y'all, if y'all got
