Transcript
- 0:00So what? Happens when an aging narcissist
- 0:03runs out of supply. What happens y'all?
- 0:08What happens when that narcissistic person, that toxic
- 0:10narcissistic person is getting older and they can no longer get
- 0:14supply the same way that they used to?
- 0:18So if you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:20I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and I give you the
- 0:22perspective of aid narcissist, y'all, that's what I'm here for.
- 0:26And no intro today, but what happens when they what?
- 0:31What happens to the narcissist as they get older and they can
- 0:33no longer get that? Sweet, sweet.
- 0:36That sweet nectar, the the sweet nectar that is narcissistic
- 0:41supply. What the sweet nectar sound
- 0:44like? A little a little narcissistic
- 0:45bee, right buzzing around the the narcissistic bee buzzing
- 0:50around the supply. What happens?
- 0:55But what does happen? A lot of people struggle with
- 0:57seeing what goes on in these situations right here.
- 0:59Yeah, as a like, let me say this.
- 1:01Let me get this out the way right now.
- 1:03Narcissist do not get better as they get older typically.
- 1:12Let's get that out of the way. So y'all hear that loud and
- 1:14clear. Narcissist do not get better as
- 1:17they get older. So if you with a younger
- 1:19narcissist right now that's 25 and you trying to stick it out,
- 1:23maybe they just maybe they just need to grow up.
- 1:26Maybe they just need to get better.
- 1:28Well, you going to be mad as hell at yourself when y'all are
- 1:2960 and you they're still doing the same damn stuff.
- 1:33Do you be mad as hell? They do not Yeah.
- 1:35You do not grow out of a personality disorder.
- 1:38You just do I I just what I've saw what I researched.
- 1:41You do not just grow out of it. You know, like I just need to
- 1:44grow up and stop being toxic. I'm going to do that.
- 1:47No you don't, unless you go to some intense.
- 1:49Psychotherapy like myself. You don't grow.
- 1:51Out of these. Personality traits.
- 1:53It's a personality. Yeah, it's a.
- 1:54It's a personality. Disorder.
- 1:56It's very. Difficult to change your
- 1:59personality. I'll say that it's very
- 2:01difficult to change your personality.
- 2:04At its core, it just is. So as a narcissist gets older,
- 2:12they, yeah, typically aging narcissists, when they run out
- 2:16of supply, they lose their damn, they're losing their minds
- 2:18because the narcissistic people, we cannot internally validate.
- 2:21If you don't know what narcissistic supply is, for me
- 2:24as a diagnosed narcissist, it is.
- 2:26You don't know what narcissist supply is.
- 2:29It is literally just external validation.
- 2:31This is why I look at it. It's external validation from an
- 2:34outside source. Narcissist cannot internally
- 2:37validate. We are our own biggest critics.
- 2:43We are our own biggest critics. We really literally are.
- 2:48We cannot internally validate. We need some external
- 2:51validation. We need somebody to tell us how
- 2:53great we are. We need somebody to validate how
- 2:56we feel and how we are acting. We need all of that, right?
- 3:01So if you're dealing with a narcissist, they're always
- 3:03looking for narcissistic supply. They're getting something from
- 3:05you. They're getting some type of
- 3:07validation from you and over the years, right over the years, how
- 3:13how they get supply like the supply that they get from you,
- 3:16the validation that they get, they get from you is going to
- 3:19run out y'all. It's going to run out or run low
- 3:22might not run out, but it's going to run very low and it
- 3:24won't feel the same to that narcissist right let's.
- 3:28Just say this. Is the example I give the quick
- 3:30example I give like at the beginning of a relationship.
- 3:34Me and you got together. This is my favorite green shirt
- 3:38right and I put the green shirt on you say you my partner,
- 3:41right? You like Lee?
- 3:43I love that green shirt on you like your shoulders.
- 3:45Whoo yeah, I love it. I love that green shirt yes and
- 3:49I'm like. Thank you so much.
- 3:51I appreciate it. Thank you.
- 3:52It's my favorite shirt. That's why I got it.
- 3:53I love this shirt, right? Now over time, let's just say
- 3:58we've been we've been together for five years.
- 4:00Your whatever I get from you is running.
- 4:02It doesn't feel the same anymore.
- 4:04So now I put the green shirt on, you say the same thing, babe,
- 4:07You know what that green shirt does to me?
- 4:10Hello. OK, cool.
- 4:11Yeah, I like. I like it too.
- 4:13You see, I gave a different reaction.
- 4:15Now I leave the house. Let's say we leave the house
- 4:18together. We walk down the street.
- 4:20Now another woman sees it. She's like, hey, that green
- 4:22shirt looks good on you. I'm like, this whole thing.
- 4:27This whole thing. Appreciate it.
- 4:31You see how you see that different reaction right there?
- 4:34Because it's a stranger, because this person doesn't know me, the
- 4:36validation feels different. It feels unique.
- 4:39It's new, right? It's newness, it's a new valley.
- 4:42It's a new form of validation I just got from that person right
- 4:45there. Same same shirt, same words,
- 4:49literally just different source. And that matters to narcissists.
- 4:55But I'll say this as well, y'all, as they get older, their,
- 4:59their, their need for supply increases because as we get
- 5:02older, let's just say, let's just say I, I get supply from
- 5:05how I look, right? And this is not me trying to say
- 5:07anything by myself, but like this say your narcissistic
- 5:10partner or parent to whoever it is you're dealing with, friend.
- 5:13They get supply from how they look, how they're perceived by
- 5:16the world like that. People think that they look
- 5:18good, right? So as they get older and they
- 5:21start looking less good, right for by through their own through
- 5:26their own lens, they're getting older, they're getting they're
- 5:29losing, they're losing their muscle definition, they're
- 5:31losing their body or whatever. If it's a woman, they're losing
- 5:33their looks or whatnot, right. And they get to the point where
- 5:36they like, then I don't look good.
- 5:37No MO. You see, now they're starting to
- 5:40panic because now how are they supposed to get supplied?
- 5:44You see, as they get older and they lose the, they lose their
- 5:48methods, their normal methods of getting supply.
- 5:51What happens? Some of them panic and whoever's
- 5:55around a narcissist, whoever's the closest person to them, if
- 5:58you're in a relationship with them, sometimes this is when
- 6:01they start self sabotage in a huge way.
- 6:03So when they're running out of supply, when the aging
- 6:04narcissist running is running out of supply or runs out of
- 6:07supply, they start to panic and self destruct their lives.
- 6:12This right here is a common phenomenon.
- 6:14It happens like they will start to panic and self destruct their
- 6:17own lives, blowing everything up.
- 6:20This is why sometimes you'll see them leave a 25 year marriage
- 6:23out of nowhere. Like literally for no y'all
- 6:25haven't been arguing, you haven't been fussing, fighting.
- 6:27They'll leave a 25 year marriage because they need to go live
- 6:30their lives. They haven't.
- 6:31They never lived right because they're running out of supply.
- 6:34They, they, the fear of not being able to get some type of
- 6:37validation or that newness has run out.
- 6:40Now they're going to go crazy. So when an aging narcissist runs
- 6:43out of supply or is running out of supply, the people around
- 6:46them are going to get treated so bad, so bad.
- 6:50Y'all ever had a y'all ever had a A lot of times you see A lot
- 6:53of times who you'll see? This with is.
- 6:56Your narcissistic grandparents, if you have a grandparent that
- 6:59is highly narcissistic, you you would describe, typically you
- 7:03hear people describe them as mean, nasty.
- 7:05My grandma is mean as hell. My grandpa is a horrible human
- 7:11being. We love him 'cause there's a
- 7:12grandpa, there's Grandpa Lee. But our grandpa is awful.
- 7:16He is a nasty ass old man. He's just evil to everybody.
- 7:21That's because they run out of supply.
- 7:23So now guess what happens? They have to seek some other
- 7:26form of supply. They have to seek some other
- 7:28form of validation. So what they do is they start
- 7:31using, they start trying to trigger people around them.
- 7:35At least I I might not be able to get some validation in the
- 7:38bedroom. You might not tell me I look
- 7:39good anymore. But guess what?
- 7:41Now I have some other control over people.
- 7:43I realize I still have an effect on people's emotion.
- 7:46So when a narcissist gets older, they switch up how they get
- 7:50supply. So in a lot of times in these
- 7:52older generations, they it was instead of looking good and
- 7:55having money or whatever, they'll be mean as hell y'all.
- 7:58They can get validation through triggering people.
- 8:01Your mean nasty ass grandma or grandpa is now triggering
- 8:04everybody around them is now antagonized, being intentionally
- 8:09antagonistic to everybody around them because this is how they
- 8:13get supplied. Now they're, they are literally
- 8:15trying to trigger people and get people angry as hell around them
- 8:18because now they know there's some type of control.
- 8:20At least I have some type of control now at least I have some
- 8:23type of power. I might be older and can't walk
- 8:26and can't get around, don't look as good, don't have no money no
- 8:28more. I can't get the narcissistic
- 8:29supply from new supply. But what I can do is trigger
- 8:33people on purpose. I can be a nasty ass old man.
- 8:36I can be a just grinchy ass old woman.
- 8:38You see when an an aging narcissist runs out of supply,
- 8:42they will start to do some crazy ass things.
- 8:45They'll start if they do have money, they'll start threatening
- 8:48people with their will. I'm going to leave you out of
- 8:50the wheel. I'm not going to give you an
- 8:51inheritance. You will get no inheritance from
- 8:53me. You don't deserve it.
- 8:54I'm going to leave my I'm going to leave this house to my cat
- 8:58when I pass away. None of y'all dirty ass kids or
- 9:01grandkids are getting anything. I'm leaving the house to the
- 9:04cat, to the dog, to the bat sanctuary.
- 9:07They'll have, they'll have bats hanging all in here.
- 9:10You see how crazy that sounds right there?
- 9:11But sometimes they'll get older, they get spiteful, they get
- 9:14meaner because they can't get that supply anymore the same way
- 9:17that they used to. Now some of them there's some of
- 9:19them know the old ones with money.
- 9:21They'll try to spend it on some young supply.
- 9:23I'll just say that. They'll go out there and try to
- 9:25get some, some P ostitutes, some pro ostitutes, pro pro ostitutes
- 9:36to fulfill that that that need right there.
- 9:39But a lot of them just get older.
- 9:41And they get nasty, they get nasty, they get nasty.
- 9:44It's not, it's not Trump saying that nasty, nasty woman.
- 9:47She's a nasty woman, but that's what goes on right there.
- 9:55Y'all that's a part of it right there.
- 9:56That's why it's so hard dealing with narcissistic people,
- 9:58dealing with toxic people, because they're going to be
- 10:00doing things like this, saying things like that.
- 10:03They're going to be whatever narcissistic can do to get
- 10:06older. They will start to when they get
- 10:08older, they will try to find a new way to get supply.
- 10:11They will try to find a new way to seek that validation because
- 10:14they were as it runs out, they're going to start losing it
- 10:17and everybody around them is going to start getting treated
- 10:19workshop. I can say that that's that's
- 10:21that's clear and present right there that everybody around a
- 10:24narcissist as they get older is going to get treated worse.
- 10:27This was going to happen. They might be nice.
- 10:29Look, again, not I'll say this, I'll say this in closing right
- 10:33here. Y'all sometimes in order to get
- 10:36supply and trigger people they'll start like if a
- 10:39narcissistic older person has grandkids, they'll be nice to
- 10:41the grandkids. They'll skip over their own
- 10:44children and start being nice to their grandkids.
- 10:46They'll start love bombing their grandkids.
- 10:48They'll start doing things for their grandkids that they
- 10:50intentionally didn't do. They did that they knowingly
- 10:53didn't do for their own kids. And now the kid, the grandkids
- 10:57want to go to grandma's house or grandpa's house.
- 11:00So grandma or grandpa, that is viewed as nasty or mean by
- 11:03everybody else. The grandkids love them because
- 11:05they're getting some, because now the grandkids are getting
- 11:08something from them. They're treating the grandkids
- 11:10nice. You see how much of A game that
- 11:12is? Y'all these have them in
- 11:13manipulative, that is right. There.
- 11:15How the older grandparents will treat the grandkids good in
- 11:18order to trigger their own kids, but also get that validation
- 11:22from their grandchildren. They'll start seeking validation
- 11:24from the people around them in different ways and start trying
- 11:27to trigger people around them at the same time.
- 11:29So you see how they get two different forms to supply in
- 11:32that example right there, how they they're both triggering
- 11:35their own kids and getting that validation and supply from their
- 11:39from their, the grandkids. Anyway, y'all, I got a
