Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:01Today we're going to be talking about how narcissist make you
- 0:05feel like you are the problem, how they make you feel like you
- 0:09are always the issue or your reactions are the issue.
- 0:13If you knew here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:14I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:16another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:35So welcome back. Welcome back, welcome back
- 0:37folks. Yes, some toxic toxic, some
- 0:41toxic Narcissus. Well, not some.
- 0:43This is going to be a lot of most toxic narcissistic people
- 0:47want you to feel like you are the problem.
- 0:51That's just factual. They want you.
- 0:53They want it out. One of the reasons, one of the
- 0:56main reasons why they want you to feel like you're the problem
- 0:58is because that's the easiest way to avoid accountability.
- 1:02How do you avoid accountability? Make the other person feel like
- 1:06they are at at fault. Make the other person here in
- 1:10this issue here that is dealing with me, make them feel like
- 1:13they themselves are at fault. That's just the way it goes
- 1:16right there. That's the easy way to go about
- 1:20doing it right there. Like if I can convince you that
- 1:24you are the problem, then I win, you lose, I win.
- 1:28It's about wins and losses. If I can convince you that you
- 1:32are in fact problematic or you're, you know, I win.
- 1:36So how do they do this? In what ways can a narcissist
- 1:40make it seem like you are the problem?
- 1:42The main way. The main way is your reactions,
- 1:48how you react. It's crazy isn't it?
- 1:51Like you get a lot of covert and sometimes malignant overt
- 1:54narcissist that talk to you in a calm manner when you are
- 1:59screaming and you are yelling and you are losing your mind
- 2:02because you're angry as hell because you're hurt, right?
- 2:06There's a lot of toxic, narcissistic people that do that
- 2:09right there. They while you are yelling and
- 2:11screaming and they are recording you.
- 2:13Some of them will record you right in your face.
- 2:15Some of them will, you know, have a like a damn body Cam or
- 2:19James Bond microphone on. But they'll record your
- 2:21reactions or your voice to make it seem like you are
- 2:24problematic. Yeah, it always, somehow, always
- 2:28seems to happen that they seem to always get your reaction
- 2:32right. Not what led up to it, not what
- 2:35led, not how we got here, but how you're acting.
- 2:39So that's one main way that they can make you seem like you had a
- 2:42problem by catching you in the act of reacting to something
- 2:47that they have done to you. So that's why when I when I'm
- 2:50pre, when I, it sounds like I'm preaching like past the hammock
- 2:52when I'm preaching, when I preach to you about controlling
- 2:56your emotions and controlling your reactions.
- 3:00This is why brother, young brother and young sister.
- 3:03It's because if you don't, you going to get painted as the
- 3:06abuser. You, you, you are going to going
- 3:10to get painted as the aggressor. You will be looked at as the
- 3:16antagonist. You will be viewed as
- 3:19antagonistic where your partner, your toxic abusive partner will
- 3:23be viewed as the protagonist and the victim.
- 3:27Bam, I'll preach. You want to preach, preach your
- 3:30hammock, pass the hammock. But that's what happens, y'all,
- 3:33there's, there's literally, that's literally what happens so
- 3:36many times in these relationship spaces because they keep you.
- 3:39It's like they catch you in the act.
- 3:41They catch you in the act of reacting to something that they
- 3:44have done to you and they ruin your, they trying to ruin your
- 3:46damn life to make it feel, make it seem like you are the problem
- 3:50here. It happened so damn much.
- 3:53And that's why I try to, I try to convey this to so many people
- 3:57that you are not like I said, you are not the problem y'all.
- 4:00It's how you, how you act or how you react to this person that
- 4:03becomes problematic. Like they make it, they paint
- 4:07you as the problem and it's hard y'all.
- 4:09It's hard to argue against evidence like that.
- 4:12Like you got a video recording of you yelling and screaming and
- 4:15throwing stuff at them. It's hard as hell to come back
- 4:18from that. So it's easier to it's well, I'm
- 4:20going to say it's easier. It's situational.
- 4:22Everybody's situation going to be different.
- 4:24It could be easier to control your reactions upfront as
- 4:28opposed to doing it later on. So you have to empower yourself
- 4:33in this space right here. You do to control your reactions
- 4:36because once they catch you in the act, they got you.
- 4:39I mean, some people are not going to believe them.
- 4:40Some people know you and won't believe them won't won't care.
- 4:43But there are some people who will like they can put like, I
- 4:45can be abusive, right? I can be abusive.
- 4:48Catch your reaction on camera and post it.
- 4:51And guess what? Millions of people going to look
- 4:53at you like they're abusive. People don't even know you, but
- 4:55they'll find you. They'll find you.
- 4:58Look at that abusive woman right there.
- 4:59Look at that abusive man right there.
- 5:00They going to get you. So controlling those reactions
- 5:02is a superpower because that's not a narcissist just as much as
- 5:05controlling your reactions is a superpower that's just used for
- 5:08good, getting, catching your reactions.
- 5:11It's a superpower that narcissists have that they use
- 5:13for bad. They use it for evil, you know,
- 5:16So that's why I always try to, I preach controlling your
- 5:18reaction. I preach being at Zen.
- 5:21I preach, you know, being calm, cool and collected even under
- 5:25the worst, the worst stress. You have to y'all.
- 5:28It's something you have to learn how to do if you're dealing with
- 5:31toxic narcissistic people. Well, Lee, that's not fair.
- 5:33Why we got to control our reactions.
- 5:34You don't have to know what I'm saying.
- 5:37It could it would behoove you too, because it it allows you to
- 5:40not be painted as this aggressive, you know, horrible
- 5:43person, because this is what narcissistic people like to do.
- 5:45They love to catch your reaction, to catch how you
- 5:47reacted and their, their lack of reaction to me that always, you
- 5:52know, to me, that's always kind of part of the, the space right
- 5:57there, right. That's always kind of the space
- 5:59or the problem right there is what narcissistic people like to
- 6:03do. They like to catch you in the
- 6:05act of reacting because that's how they bust you.
- 6:08That's how they get you, right? So you have to empower yourself
- 6:12because if you don't, you just lose, y'all.
- 6:13You really do just lose. But I will also say this when
- 6:16you're dealing with toxic, narcissistic people, I will say
- 6:18this as well, that another way that they can catch you if they
- 6:22just lie. Yeah, they will lie in order to
- 6:24paint you as the aggressor, in order to paint you as the
- 6:27antagonist. They just lie.
- 6:29You know, catching your catching your reactions is one thing, but
- 6:32just flat out lying is a whole another.
- 6:34They will flat out lie they asses off to you to catch you,
- 6:39right? They would just blame me, lie,
- 6:40look you in your face and be like, yeah, I'm lying to the
- 6:44world about who you are and they will continuously catch you like
- 6:47that. So that's what I'm just telling
- 6:49you're dealing with. If you're dealing with a toxic
- 6:50narcissistic person, this is kind of the road that you take,
- 6:53this kind of Rd. that you go down because they would just lie
- 6:55and smear campaign the hell out of you.
- 6:58Narcissists love this smear campaign and that's the best
- 7:01way. That's one of the best ways to
- 7:03paint you as the to make themselves look like the victim
- 7:06and to make you look like you were at fault, make you look
- 7:09like you are too blamed for what's going on in this
- 7:11situation. They just lie their asses off,
- 7:15start spreading rumors, start lying through their damn teeth
- 7:19about who you are. They misrepresent your
- 7:22character. They misrepresent the situation.
- 7:24They misrepresent every damn thing so and I hate when I when
- 7:29people have to deal with it. I hate when people have to deal
- 7:31with that. It's just you have to be, you
- 7:33have to empower yourselves to just keep moving forward because
- 7:36if you don't, you get ran over top buff.
- 7:38You really do. You get ran over top buff, you
- 7:41get used and abused and you get manipulated.
- 7:46You get used and abused, you get manipulated and all that other
- 7:48good stuff. So I, I would just behoove you,
- 7:51like I said, if they the smear campaign, the smear campaign is
- 7:56a whole different animal. Y'all, A lot of people ask me,
- 7:58how do you defeat the smear campaign?
- 8:00A lot of times you can just ignore it because the smear
- 8:02campaign, it, it can be used as kind of a life filter, right?
- 8:06Like if somebody is if somebody is smear campaigning you, right
- 8:10and other people are believing it without even asking you,
- 8:13without questioning the you know, the validity of the
- 8:15situation, then they kind of filter themselves out of your
- 8:18life, don't they? They filter themselves away from
- 8:22you in these situations. They smear campaign the hell out
- 8:25of you. And if people leave you, if
- 8:27people decide to cut you off based on the lies that somebody
- 8:29else tell, are they worth having in your life?
- 8:32Some people might be they might be a brother or sister.
- 8:34Somebody is you know, it might be a best friend.
- 8:35Or if it's your best friend, are they really your best friend?
- 8:39If they believe you're lying ass partner about something about
- 8:42believe you're lying ass partner when they say something about
- 8:45you instead of coming to you directly to ask you because
- 8:48that's how they do it, y'all, They want to make you seem like
- 8:50you're the issue. They want to make you seem like
- 8:53you are the problem right here. It it really is.
- 8:56So they want to make you look like the problem.
- 8:59Like, and I'll say this right here, y'all, and this is the
- 9:01last way I'll go over here. OK, Ain't gonna ain't gonna
- 9:03y'all know. I don't like to drag these
- 9:04videos out in great detail one another way that narcissists
- 9:10like would do it. They would like to to make you
- 9:12seem like you're the problem. If they would trigger you on
- 9:14purpose, they will trigger you on purpose to react in front of
- 9:17other people. You know, like I said, they can
- 9:20catch you on camera reacting in in private behind the scenes.
- 9:23They can smear campaign you, but some of them will absolutely try
- 9:26to set you off in front of other people so you look like the
- 9:30aggressor, so you look abusive. And one of their favorite
- 9:33tactics other than other than smear campaigning you is dog
- 9:37whistles. They dog whistle or inside.
- 9:42I call inside triggers kind of like inside jokes.
- 9:45Inside triggers or dog whistles are awaited.
- 9:47Narcissistic people covertly set you off.
- 9:51The only you understand it like you're the only person that gets
- 9:55the you're you're you're the only person that understands
- 9:57that what I just said is not a joke.
- 10:00It's a direct insult. You know, it's something
- 10:03derogatory towards you. And if my dog whistle enough and
- 10:07you react, you know, the dog whistles are the whistles that
- 10:09you blow it. Only dogs get here because
- 10:10they're they're at a certain frequency.
- 10:13So if I blow that whistle and you start acting crazy, you look
- 10:18like I said you started. You started going crazy and
- 10:20yelling and screaming. Now I got you.
- 10:22Now you absolutely look abusive. Now you absolutely look like the
- 10:27abuser in this situation. So now I got you, and now I have
- 10:30proof that I got you. Now I have proof of the
- 10:34situation. You know what I mean?
- 10:36Now I have discernible evidence that you are abusive.
- 10:39Hey guys, look, I told you, look, look what I deal with.
- 10:43I told you that she was crazy. I told you guys, look, the old
- 10:48ball and chain is swinging the nunchucks and trying to hurt me.
- 10:52Y'all see what I deal with behind the scenes.
- 10:54Y'all see how she's acting in front of y'all imagine what
- 10:57she's like behind the scenes in private and they look at you and
- 11:01wink. Yeah, I gotcha.
- 11:03Then what I'm telling y'all, Controlling your reactions is a
- 11:06superpower. It really is.
- 11:09It's a power that you can develop.
- 11:10It's like a it's it's it's a muscle that you have to build
- 11:13over time. It's like doing curls and
- 11:15building that muscle, building up that muscle, building up that
- 11:18no reaction muscle, no reaction one, no reaction two reverse it.
- 11:23No reaction three drops at 4 speed.
- 11:27Yeah, you have to build it up. Take a deep before when they say
- 11:30something, take a deep breath before responding to them.
- 11:33Just at least give, give yourself that give a give
- 11:35yourself at least a deep breath before you respond to him.
- 11:38Because if you respond to him in kind, I'm just telling you, you
- 11:41going to look abusive. You going to look arrest.
- 11:43You going to look, you going to look the part of a horrible
- 11:45person. And I don't want that for you.
- 11:49I absolutely don't want that for you.
- 11:51So hope this video brought you some clarity.
- 11:54Hope it brought you some peace. Hope it brought you some power
- 11:57to understand how important controlling your reactions is,
- 12:00because controlling your reactions can help.
- 12:02Yeah. Is it, is it foolproof?
- 12:03No, some people are going to believe the narcissists anyway.
- 12:06Narcissists have a lot of blind supporters and flying muggers.
- 12:08Some people are going to believe them regardless of what you say
- 12:10and do, that you have to eat that, you know.
- 12:13Some people are not worth defending yourself too, because
- 12:16they're going to believe the narcissist regardless of what
- 12:18you say and what you do. But you are in control.
- 12:22You have the power. Make sure you check out my my
