• 0:36
  situations. How do I How do narcissists How
• 0:38
  do some narcissists handle stress?
• 0:41

• 0:51
  Y'all the link is in the description of every video and
• 0:53
  podcast that I do. Had to get out the way.
• 0:56
  Y'all but seriously, how do narcissists react when they are
• 1:00
  stressed? And that was a it was nervous,
• 1:04
  nervous, nervous laughter right there.
• 1:06
  Y'all because I think that everybody understands that if
• 1:09
  you're dealt, if you've ever dealt with a narcissistic
• 1:11
  person, they we do not handle the stress well at all.
• 1:17
  Oh my goodness. When a narcissist is stressed,
• 1:22
  everybody around that narcissist is also going to be stressed.
• 1:26
  It's just like a stress everybody.
• 1:28
  It's like a imagine a narcissist with their arms spread wide like
• 1:33
  this, this, this standard. If you were to listen to this on
• 1:36
  the podcast, you'll just stand straight up, spread your arms
• 1:39
  like, raise your arms to show the level and start spinning
• 1:43
  like a childish toxic ass. Little hurricane just starts
• 1:47
  spinning like a toxic tornado. Everybody in this little
• 1:50
  spinning, narcissistic nuclear radius gets hit.
• 1:54
  You going to fill it? Y'all.
• 1:55
  If I am stressed, everybody else is going to be stressed.
• 2:01
  Is this how it is? Narcissistic people, Most of us
• 2:04
  don't know how to process stress and deal with stress.
• 2:07
  Well, that's one of these, these these emotional states that we
• 2:10
  do not handle well, one among many that we do not handle well.
• 2:15
  So if you get caught up with a narcissistic person, this is how
• 2:18
  it's going to go. A lot of times you're going to
• 2:20
  be in a very stressful situation dealing with a toxic,
• 2:23
  narcissistic person that is out there to try to get you.
• 2:26
  You're like, if I'm stressed, you're stressed.
• 2:29
  I don't. Look, it gets to the point where
• 2:30
  you if you could be in the best mood of your life and you bring
• 2:36
  some good news to their nurses and they if they are feeling a
• 2:39
  little bit of stress, a little bit of pressure, they're going
• 2:45
  to put it onto you. They're going to project that
• 2:47
  stress and pressure onto you are going to feel it.
• 2:50
  I promise you that you will. You are going to, you absolutely
• 2:55
  going to fill it in this situation you don't get why do
• 2:58
  you get to be happy and then they're stress free.
• 3:01
  When I got to sit around here and be just stressed the hell
• 3:03
  out, why do you get to feel it this way?
• 3:05
  That's how a lot of narcissists in people's minds work.
• 3:08
  Like it's not fair that you don't have to feel distressed
• 3:11
  and I do. So I'm going to take it out on
• 3:13
  you. They don't handle stress well.
• 3:15
  If they if they, you can tell too.
• 3:16
  Y'all you like. If you build with a narcissist
• 3:19
  or tax person for an extended period of time, for any, for any
• 3:22
  period of time, you know you can.
• 3:24
  It's like you get good at reading you to survive.
• 3:27
  What a narcissist. You have to get good at reading
• 3:29
  their energy, sometimes reading their just reading their mood,
• 3:32
  right? You know, and you can tell when
• 3:36
  something is going on without without them even saying
• 3:39
  anything to you. Like if you haven't done
• 3:41
  anything to them and you can just feel their moods kind of
• 3:44
  shifting, like they're just acting kind of weird and just
• 3:46
  not being there with you fully. You can tell that something is
• 3:49
  going on and you just don't and you don't want to ask, but you
• 3:52
  can sense it. So sometimes you want to stay
• 3:55
  out of that way. You sometimes this is how you
• 3:56
  survive in the relationship with an arsenal.
• 3:58
  You have to get, you have to learn how to read their energy.
• 4:00
  I'm going to do a whole video on that.
• 4:03
  But if they're stressed, you can tell it they it's just like we
• 4:05
  can't hold this one thing that we cannot hide.
• 4:08
  You know what I mean? We cannot hide.
• 4:11
  We we can't hide how we feel. It is horrible.
• 4:13
  Like narcissists cannot hide how they really feel.
• 4:15
  You can feel, you can tell it. You can feel their energy like
• 4:18
  they like what brings a narcissist stress.
• 4:21
  Anything. Y'all, anything that's out.
• 4:23
  Anything that's outside of that narcissistic person's control
• 4:28
  brings them stress. Anything little, big, whatever,
• 4:33
  you know, anything that's outside that narcissists control
• 4:39
  is going to bring them stress. You know, they have to survive.
• 4:43
  Writing this down, Y'all that's going to be how to divide to
• 4:45
  survive with a narcissist. I'm going to get my wife to do
• 4:49
  that. I'm going to get my wife to hop
• 4:50
  on the episode too. If y'all want my wife to hop on
• 4:51
  the episode, I don't know. I don't know.
• 4:54
  I don't want to. I don't know if she's going to
• 4:55
  hop on it because she don't want to give people hope to stand the
• 4:57
  type of relationship. Yeah, we'll see.
• 5:02
  But that episode is definitely coming soon.
• 5:04
  But you get into that space though.
• 5:05
  Y'all like Narciss. People like anything that's
• 5:07
  outside of our control because you know, Narciss love control.
• 5:10
  Anything that's outside of the little control bubble.
• 5:13
  We absolutely hate it and it brings us stress if we can't
• 5:17
  control it. Like, especially if you like,
• 5:19
  let's say you got a narcissistic person that's having an affair
• 5:23
  and they are stressed like they walk.
• 5:25
  They're going to walk around stressed all the time.
• 5:26
  That they're a fair party is going to out their motel on them
• 5:28
  where somebody else is going to find out.
• 5:30
  So they going to, we live there. That person right there is going
• 5:33
  to live a life of perpetual stress.
• 5:35
  They're going to always be in the highly stressed state
• 5:37
  because they don't know who the hell is.
• 5:38
  You can be thinking with Toto, you know what I mean?
• 5:41
  They don't know if somebody's going to tell on them.
• 5:43
  So they're always walking around in a highly stressed state with
• 5:48
  their mind all torn the hell and messed up.
• 5:52
  They always going to be walking around like that.
• 5:53
  If they about losing their job, they going to take it out on
• 5:57
  you. They and they don't want they're
• 5:58
  not going to communicate that with you until you decide like
• 6:01
  the only the only time that the narcissist person will
• 6:03
  communicate their stress to you is if you communicate some type
• 6:07
  of stress. This one of the only time
• 6:08
  there's some other times one of the only times that narcissists
• 6:11
  will communicate with is stressing them out with you is
• 6:14
  if you tell them that you're stressed out about something
• 6:15
  it's like the it's like you damn near competing in the stress
• 6:18
  Olympics like you you you bring them the gold medal of stress
• 6:23
  you say hey look I'm so I'm about to lose my job and get I'm
• 6:27
  going to get fired and we're going to lose the house.
• 6:29
  They going to be like, you know what it's like?
• 6:32
  That's not gold medal stress. I got gold medal stress.
• 6:34
  You got silver or bronze? I get gold medal stress.
• 6:38
  Right here. Let me see.
• 6:38
  I hurt my back this morning. My butt hurt, my teeth hurt, my
• 6:42
  head hurt. I might lose my job and my job
• 6:45
  is more important and and and and I'm losing my memory that
• 6:52
  it's going to. Yeah, I'm not.
• 6:53
  I'm just saying like, but that's how it's going to go.
• 6:55
  Y'all. That's how it ends up being.
• 6:57
  A lot of times they need dynamic in these situations.
• 6:59
  That's how it goes right there. They're going to compare and
• 7:02
  compete with your stress. You can't bring stress to them.
• 7:05
  They don't. Not only do narcissists not
• 7:07
  handle our own stress well, we don't handle yours well either.
• 7:11
  We tell you to get look, get over it.
• 7:14
  There's you complaining. There's complaining.
• 7:15
  People will. People will love to be your
• 7:17
  situation, but if we go through the same thing and you say the
• 7:20
  same thing to us, put your boxing gloves on you, we get
• 7:23
  ready to have an emotional fight or sometimes a physical fight,
• 7:25
  you might have to physically fight them.
• 7:27
  If you try to minimize what their stress they're going
• 7:29
  through with their stress, even though they minimize yours, they
• 7:31
  just they literally just minimize yours.
• 7:35
  And they're they feel like you're trying to minimize their
• 7:37
  oh man, get rid of the box emotionally or physically box
• 7:41
  because they're going to be angry as hell at you.
• 7:43
  And that's the space that you're going to be in doing the toxic
• 7:46
  narcissistic as per this, this, this literally the space you're
• 7:49
  going to end up in right there. Y'all they're going to make you
• 7:51
  emotionally or physically box them because you compare and
• 7:54
  contrast stress. You know what I mean?
• 7:56
  They're going to. They're out.
• 7:57
  The double standards exist. If you dealt with the Narciss or
• 8:00
  you're dealing with one right now.
• 8:01
  The double standards absolutely exist in these relationships.
• 8:04
  They just do. That's one of the things that
• 8:07
  death taxes and double standards with a narcissist.
• 8:10
  You see what I'm saying? Because they like that.
• 8:13
  They they you don't. You don't get to do what they
• 8:15
  get to do. That's just part of it.
• 8:17
  I know some of y'all are fighters.
• 8:18
  You fight back, be careful, be safe, like.
• 8:21
  But overall, you don't get to do what I get to do.
• 8:24
  And I always have a reason for why I get to do what I get to
• 8:27
  do. You know what I mean?
• 8:28
  I always got a reason why I do what I do.
• 8:31
  But you can't do it. You know what I mean?
• 8:34
  You can't do it. That's a very unique space to be
• 8:37
  in right there. Like, you cannot do it.
• 8:40
  Dealing with a narcissistic person, dealing with a toxic ass
• 8:42
  person, you don't get to do what they get to do.
• 8:44
  It's not well, it's not fair. Y'all, y'all y'all, yeah, it's
• 8:51
  not. We'll leave it at that.
• 8:53
  It's not fair, you know. It's not fair.
• 8:56
  Dealing with a toxic, narcissistic, abusive person
• 8:58
  that you have to live with or have kids with.
• 8:59
  They tricked you. It's not fair.
• 9:01
  And they, like I said y'all, if you're pregnant or pregnant, if
• 9:04
  they're pregnant by you or whatever it is, whoever's having
• 9:07
  a baby, they're anything that's out of their control.
• 9:10
  It's going to stress them out. Pregnancies, money, finances,
• 9:13
  which stress out non narcissistic people as well.
• 9:15
  But you can handle stress better.
• 9:17
  You know how to handle stress. You can acknowledge the stress
• 9:19
  and seek out help. A narcissist that is stressed
• 9:22
  out would rather self destruct. A lot of them would rather self
• 9:26
  destruct their own lives and burn their lives to the ground.
• 9:30
  Metaphorically speaking and sometimes not metaphorically
• 9:34
  speaking, not hypothetically speaking.
• 9:35
  Hypothetically, they would rather burn their lives to the
• 9:38
  ground. Then they ask for help.
• 9:41
  You know what I'm saying? I know some people, other people
• 9:43
  are non narcissists, have pride issues and things like that as
• 9:46
  well. But a narcissist would rather
• 9:47
  sink with the shit. Like, bro, we got lifeboats over
• 9:50
  here. Just hop off the sinking ship,
• 9:52
  hop into the light bulb. Let me help you.
• 9:54
  I don't need no help. My look, it's going to sink but
• 9:57
  it's going to come back up. Why?
• 9:58
  Boom float. They going to back down to the
• 10:01
  depths with the Titanic, you know what I'm saying?
• 10:03
  They rather go down up to the depths and be down there with
• 10:05
  the Titanic than to be over there.
• 10:07
  Like to deal with anybody else, but that's part of it There.
• 10:10
  Y'all that's part of dealing with a toxic narcissistic
• 10:13
  person. This, this, the dynamic.
• 10:16
  They don't handle stress well at all.
• 10:18
  And you if you dealt with the narcissists, you understand
• 10:21
  this. When they're stressed, typically
• 10:23
  you want to get out of their way.
• 10:24
  Y'all you want to avoid them. I want to do a longer video
• 10:26
  about surviving with the narcissists, but like you have
• 10:28
  to avoid them. Read their energy, stay out of
• 10:30
  their way. You can if you want to ask
• 10:33
  what's wrong, ask what's wrong. But don't expect the general
• 10:35
  answer. Y'all, if you want to ask what's
• 10:37
  wrong, did you just get that out the way?
• 10:38
  Because sometimes they'll sometimes they'll chastise you
• 10:41
  for not asking what's wrong, but then they'll also chastise you
• 10:45
  for asking what's wrong. So it's like you're damned if
• 10:47
  you do and you're damned if you don't.
• 10:48
  Sometimes. So choose the choose the damned
• 10:53
  that benefits you the most. In these situations.
• 10:54
  Choose the damned that keeps you the safes.
• 10:56
  Choose the damned. It allows you to the the most
• 10:59
  mental reprieve, the most mental space.
• 11:01
  Because a lot of narcissists, like said most narcissists do
• 11:03
  not handle stress well. Y'all and they're going to make
• 11:05
  everybody. It's going to make it
• 11:06
  everybody's issue. Make it everybody's problem,
• 11:08
  your problem, the kids problem, y'all, everybody's problem
• 11:12
  around them. You're going to feel that.
• 11:13
  You're going to have to understand that space.
• 11:14
  Y'all it is, That's part of it. But anyways, y'all take
• 11:18
  opportunity and y'all if you haven't already make sure you
