Transcript
- 0:00What is going on beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're going to be talking about 5 possible red flags that
- 0:06you might be dealing with a narcissist or toxic person when
- 0:09you're getting to know someone. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:12Lee Hammock. I'm a self aware narcissist.
- 0:14Then welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:33So boom, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back folks.
- 0:36So I don't know if you can tell I have a new camera.
- 0:39This is my first video shooting with my new camera.
- 0:41It's supposed to be 4K, so we'll see how it goes.
- 0:44We'll see how it goes. Is a new little Sony handycam
- 0:47like I used to have back in the day.
- 0:48Just a better version of it. But yes, Yep, Yep, Yep. 5
- 0:53narcissistic, toxic. Possible red flags, y'all, and
- 0:57doing any of these things right here doesn't automatically mean
- 1:00that you're dealing with a narcissist, y'all.
- 1:01This is just like y'all, It's supposed.
- 1:04It's supposed to make you supposed to make the red flags
- 1:07go up. You see what I'm saying?
- 1:08It's supposed to be these, these right here.
- 1:11You know what I mean? So the very first one, this,
- 1:13this is in no particular order, y'all.
- 1:14This is just how I see it. This is just me talking to you
- 1:18about it, you know what I mean? So the very first one is that
- 1:21they are focused on their exes. Yeah, I'm telling you, I don't.
- 1:27Yeah. Well, Lee, what if they're Co
- 1:29parenting? And yeah, if they are focused on
- 1:31their exes, it's a red flag to me.
- 1:35You mean it doesn't have to be to you, but to me this is a
- 1:37possible red flag because they're hyper focused on their
- 1:40exes like in this. Not just in a bad way.
- 1:44You know, a lot of people would just say if they only if they
- 1:48say all my exes are crazy, should you be worried about it?
- 1:50No, to me, they can also just speak highly, just consistently
- 1:55highly of their exes. Like if it gets to the point
- 1:59where it's, it's too much, you know what I mean?
- 2:01Like they can speak extremely highly of their ex, but their ex
- 2:05is no longer in the picture. You see what I'm saying?
- 2:07That's a, that could be a form of manipulation as well, or it
- 2:09could be mean that they are still stuck on their ex, right?
- 2:14Like if they say all my ex's are crazy, of course that's red
- 2:17flaggy, right? But it also if they say, oh, my
- 2:20ex was an amazing person and I just missed them and I just,
- 2:24they were great. They were, they were good and
- 2:26great at every single thing that you could possibly be good or
- 2:29great at. Like I'm just just amazed by
- 2:32this person. I miss this person, blah, blah,
- 2:34blah, Boo Boo Boo BBB, you know what I mean?
- 2:36That's red flaggy to me. It might not be to you to me and
- 2:41also y'all, I don't have the the mic like the this is a there's a
- 2:44new mic on this has a mounted mic.
- 2:47So let me know how what y'all think about the sound quality as
- 2:49well. Y'all and I can possibly get a
- 2:50possibly get a new mic to attach it and shout out to everybody
- 2:53who does like the little super stickers super chats or whatever
- 2:56they'll y'all help this get the camera.
- 2:58So thank y'all so much appreciate y'all, but yes,
- 3:02everybody who joins the channel memberships and does my support
- 3:05groups as well. Thank you so much.
- 3:07But yes, if they're focused on their exes, like I know I
- 3:11understand if you Co parented with them, you have to talk
- 3:13about them every once in a while to describe your relationship.
- 3:15But if they're just talking trash about them all the time
- 3:18for no reason, you're like you, you never even met the ex, but
- 3:21they're still talking trash about them, right?
- 3:23They're still hyper focused on bashing them or making them seem
- 3:26like their ex is the bad person. That's red flaggy to me.
- 3:30You know, to me, this red flaggy might not be to you again, but
- 3:33to me it's super red flaggy. Yeah, So watch out for that
- 3:38right there, y'all. Like, if they just keep continue
- 3:40to bash their exes or talk good about their exes when they're
- 3:43not around and things like that, Too much, too much is red
- 3:46flaggy. Red flaggy.
- 3:49You know what I'm saying? Because talking good about,
- 3:51well, Lee, What? What?
- 3:52How? Lee?
- 3:53How the hell is talking good about somebody a red flag?
- 3:56I'm glad you asked because think about like this.
- 3:59If I'm talking good about somebody consistently around you
- 4:02that you've never met, right, Either I ruined that
- 4:04relationship, right? And I treated this person badly,
- 4:08or I'm talking good about the last person to get you to do
- 4:13something I want you to do to get you to change.
- 4:15This is a form of manipulation, right?
- 4:17Like I'm just talking, I'm speaking highly of my exes to
- 4:20get you to change something about yourself or to get you to
- 4:23step outside your comfort zone and do something that I want you
- 4:26to do. That happens all the time too.
- 4:28So that's something you have to consider right there, y'all?
- 4:30That's a part of it. You know what I mean?
- 4:33The second red flag is too good to be true like yeah, this is I
- 4:38mean this is so simple right? This is the this is the simplest
- 4:41form ever right here. Y'all too good to be true.
- 4:44Like if it seems too good to be true, a lot of times it is.
- 4:46You know what I mean? If this person seemed like they
- 4:49just floated like if this person seemed like they were made in
- 4:51that lab for you like they were made in a lab for you, that
- 4:56might be super. That might be a huge red flag
- 4:58right there also in the rain. That might be a super red flag
- 5:02right there. Like this person like every
- 5:04single thing about this person is amazing.
- 5:06Like they pretty much if you have a dating profile, they
- 5:10pretty much fit every single thing on your dating profile,
- 5:13especially if you met on the dating app.
- 5:15If y'all met on the dating app, then that could be it right
- 5:18there as well. You see what I'm saying Like
- 5:19that could be part of a manipulative person to be too
- 5:22good to be true. Like they just move.
- 5:25They're the perfect age, perfect height, perfect weight, perfect
- 5:28whatever you've been looking for, your dream of person is
- 5:31right in front of you. Just take your out.
- 5:33I'm not saying it's impossible to be good.
- 5:36I'm just saying just listen to your intuition because a lot of
- 5:40times your intuition, your intuition is there to protect
- 5:41you. I just did a video about
- 5:42intuition yesterday. If it feels too good to be true,
- 5:45a lot of times it is, right. A lot of times it is.
- 5:48It's just, just just watch how you feel about this person.
- 5:52Watch, watch that. Watch the, you know, if your
- 5:53stomach starts bubbling when they're around, you get like the
- 5:55bubble guts or you know what I mean?
- 5:58Just just just watch. Look, I'm not saying just just
- 6:02watch it right there. This is a red flag that a lot of
- 6:05people, I mean, you hear you hear people talk about that
- 6:06right there, y'all. So that one's just short and
- 6:08sweet, straight to the point right there.
- 6:11The third one I'll talk about right now is that they lie to
- 6:13you, y'all. This is not y'all.
- 6:14This should not, this should go without saying.
- 6:16If they lie to you, that's what my big red y'all know.
- 6:21I used to have the big red flag. If they lie, yeah.
- 6:23If they are, if they lie to you, if they lie to you, if they lied
- 6:30to you, you might even throw throw the whole person away if
- 6:37they you could listen to me right here, y'all.
- 6:40If they are willing to lie to you up front, if they're willing
- 6:43to lie to you when they're getting to know you, what makes
- 6:46you think this person is going to change later on?
- 6:48You know what I mean? I'm not saying it to be me.
- 6:51I'm just, I'm just saying like, if they're willing to lie to you
- 6:54up front, what makes you think that they're going to change who
- 6:57they are later on? You know, you discovered a lie.
- 7:01Like they didn't willfully tell you that they were lying to you.
- 7:03You had to go out of your way to discover the fact that they were
- 7:06lying to you. What are you telling yourself in
- 7:08that situation, in that scenario right there to be like, you know
- 7:11what? I'm still gonna give this person
- 7:13a chance. What are you saying to yourself
- 7:15in that situation, that scenario right there?
- 7:17You know, I know you lied to me, but you're still the one for me,
- 7:20you know, because I know what the narcissist is going to say,
- 7:22right? I know the possible narcissist
- 7:24or toxic person, I know what they're going to say.
- 7:25They're going to say, well, I lied to you because I really
- 7:27like you. I didn't tell you I was married
- 7:30because I knew you would leave me alone.
- 7:33Of course, of course. Well, I didn't tell you that I
- 7:38was, you know, dating somebody because.
- 7:43Because Oh yeah, that's why I just got the Self Love Journal.
- 7:46They just messaged me about it. Sorry y'all.
- 7:48Thanks. Shout out to shout out to
- 7:49whoever said that. Yeah, your name is first name is
- 7:52H, last name is D. So yeah, thanks.
- 7:54Shout out to you. HD just got the Self Love
- 7:57Journal on Amazon. But of course they're going to
- 8:00say this type of stuff to y'all because it benefits them in some
- 8:04way to say this to you. It just does.
- 8:06It's one of those things that's going to work for them.
- 8:08They're going to lie to you upfront a lot of times because
- 8:12it benefits them in some way, shape or form.
- 8:14They're going to keep lying to you.
- 8:16If you forgive one lie, they'll they think you'll forgive
- 8:19another lie. Well, we sleep in separate
- 8:21bedrooms. We're we're, we're not we I'm
- 8:23still married, but we sleep in separate bedrooms.
- 8:24Yeah. That's the biggest damn lie
- 8:26right there. Is it possible that they could
- 8:28be still married or in a relationship with somebody
- 8:31raising kids together and they sleep in separate bedrooms?
- 8:33Yes, I've heard of that before, but a lot of times they sleep in
- 8:36the seven bedrooms after they don't clap cheeks.
- 8:39They, when they're slid into the other bedroom slept together and
- 8:43then they sleep in seven bedrooms like we sleep in seven
- 8:45bedrooms, but it's we only together for the kids.
- 8:48I'm on my way out. I'm filing for divorce next
- 8:50week. What are you telling yourself in
- 8:51this situation right here? If they lie to you early on,
- 8:55they will lie to you later on. And if they tell you little
- 8:57lies, they will, they will, they will become big lies.
- 9:01They plant little lies in the beginning and the little lies
- 9:05grow into big lies. So then they plant them and they
- 9:08water them. They plant the, the little lying
- 9:11seeds early on and they water them throughout the relationship
- 9:14and they turn into big lying ass plants.
- 9:17You know me, this happens too. So I'm just telling you right
- 9:21now, in these situations, what are you telling yourself to be
- 9:23like? You know what?
- 9:24This is the one for me. I'm gonna give this person a
- 9:25chance. This is it.
- 9:26This is it. I'm, I'm gonna forgive these
- 9:27lies. Stop giving people the benefit
- 9:30of the doubt because they're cute.
- 9:32Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt because they're
- 9:34attractive. Stop giving them the benefit of
- 9:36the doubt because they have money.
- 9:37Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt because they make you
- 9:39laugh. Liar like comedians lie all the
- 9:42damn time. Handsome, beautiful people,
- 9:44conventionally attractive people lie all the damn time.
- 9:46People with money damn sure will lie to your ass.
- 9:49You know what I'm saying? So if they lie to you, that's a
- 9:52huge I say I pulled my red flag. I dropped, I dropped a couple of
- 9:54red flags on the ground. They'll lie to you.
- 9:56They'll keep doing the same things over and over again.
- 9:58The next thing I will talk about y'all, is you have too much in
- 10:02common. Now this doesn't seem like a red
- 10:05flag Lee. How the hell does having too
- 10:07much in common a red flag? Bear with me right here y'all,
- 10:10if you have too much in common Le, it's red flaggy to me right
- 10:16too much in common. That mean that could mean that
- 10:20they're mirroring you If y'all? Like I said, like I said
- 10:23earlier, if it's too good to be true, you have too much in
- 10:25common. This is red flaggy for you.
- 10:28You see what I'm saying? Like especially if you're
- 10:30talking first, if you feel like you're sharing your likes and
- 10:33dislikes first and then all of a sudden they just happen to like
- 10:36and dislike the same thing. This is me trying to flag you
- 10:44down like an air traffic controller.
- 10:48No, they they don't have two. Don't they come in for a landing
- 10:54over here, safe landing over here, safe landing over here.
- 10:58You see what I'm saying? Is it possible to have a lot of
- 11:01a lot of things in common? Yes.
- 11:03But if they have the same things in common with you only after
- 11:07telling you, only after you mentioned it, you see what I'm
- 11:15saying? That's the mindset right there.
- 11:17So you have to be very, very careful in this situation
- 11:19because they will get to you. They will manipulate the hell
- 11:22out of you. They will lie to you.
- 11:23They will pretend to like the same thing that you like in
- 11:27order to get some cheeks from you.
- 11:28They will absolutely do that in order to sleep with you, in
- 11:30order to have a baby by you, in order to get you back.
- 11:32Yes, they will mirror you. If you have too much in common,
- 11:36there could be a red flag or somebody that's mirroring you or
- 11:38just lying about who they are. You see what I'm saying?
- 11:43And the last thing I'll go over y'all, it's not it's not talked
- 11:45about a lot. And I promise you I'm not trying
- 11:47to offend anybody, but their religious belief or lack thereof
- 11:52could be a red flag. Now let me say this right here
- 11:56because like there's nothing wrong with being a religious
- 11:59person, right? I'm a religious person.
- 12:02I'm more spiritual than religious now because of how the
- 12:04the world has been twisted up with certain religions and would
- 12:07not be out their religious belief especially in a in a
- 12:10dating profile. I tell people if they have their
- 12:13religion sometimes in dating profile don't match with them
- 12:17because if they have their religion up earth they could be
- 12:20just using that to seem like a good person.
- 12:22Fake religious ass people. The religion is fake.
- 12:26They just pretend to be a Christian.
- 12:28They pretend to be a Muslim. They pretend to be a Buddhist.
- 12:32They pretend to be spiritual in order to get you Christian.
- 12:37They they'll tell you they'll have Christian in their dating
- 12:39bio. But then you get on the first
- 12:41date and you find that they're, they're, you find out that
- 12:43they're still married. Oh, we see beside the rooms.
- 12:46Oh, they, they tell you all five of these, all five of these red
- 12:48flags on the on the, on the same date only lied to you because I
- 12:53ain't really liked you. And we match.
- 12:54We had a line in common and I know you wouldn't believe it.
- 12:58And my ex is kind of crazy. We see you the same day and I
- 13:01like the same things you like. Come on now, y'all come on up.
- 13:05Yeah, we got in this situation right here.
- 13:06We got to wake up. We have to wake up because they
- 13:10will absolutely do this over and over again.
- 13:12The fake religious people blow my damn mind.
- 13:15They claim to be religious, but they live unreligiously,
- 13:18unreligiously. They're not religious.
- 13:21They fake it. They just put it in their dating
- 13:23profile. They just say they are to
- 13:25manipulate you with one of my old friends.
- 13:27Boy, he, he, he will. He claimed to be a Muslim.
- 13:31He would be fasting and everything.
- 13:33But his life, the way the life that he lived was not Muslim.
- 13:38That man doing Ramadan, be out here just doing the crazy.
- 13:41Like, I thought it was Ramadan. Oh, yeah.
- 13:43But you can do certain things doing Ramadan.
- 13:45If you what? What?
- 13:45Really. Like, he would go out here and
- 13:48he would be fasting, but he'd be cheating.
- 13:52What are you doing? You mean he got here fasting,
- 13:55but he'd be doing all kinds of craziness.
- 13:58Not a good person. They fake religious definitely
- 14:00having on the dating apps definitely put it out there up
- 14:03front to make it seem like they that they are somebody that they
- 14:06are not. So it falls on to you in these
- 14:08situations to just be truthful with who you are and discern.
- 14:12Like use discernment to just say, hey, that's a red flag.
- 14:15You can end the date early if they lie to you, find out that
- 14:18they're that they're lying to you.
- 14:19You can end the day early, you can ask to be excused.
- 14:22You can damn dine a dash if you have to, but come back and pay
- 14:25if you don't dine a dash and walk on the tab or whatever, you
- 14:28know what I mean? I want to say they only did this
- 14:30video to help wake y'all up to some of the to some of the red
- 14:32flags and whatnot that you could be experiencing that could be
- 14:34going on out here in this real world.
- 14:36So anyways, y'all so hope y'all enjoyed the red flags.
