- 0:28absolutely. Do not owe that narcissistic
- 0:32person in your life any day if you decide that it's time to end
- 0:37that relationship space. Because ask yourself this
- 0:40question right here. Y'all What have they done for
- 0:43you to make you feel like you actually owe them something?
- 0:47What have they done for you? To make you feel like okay, I
- 0:52owe this person something. You don't owe them loyalty
- 0:54because typically, they don't give you loyalty.
- 0:56You don't owe them honor. You don't owe them.
- 0:58They out money. Whatever the situation is,
- 1:00y'all, if you decide to leave that narcissistic person in your
- 1:04life, you don't owe them anything.
- 1:06You can watch you. You.
- 1:07If you decide that it's over time to end it, you can end it.
- 1:10So many narcissistic people condition you to think that you
- 1:14like you owe us something. Hey, you can fix us.
- 1:18You can help us. If you leave me, I'll
- 1:21disintegrate into nothingness. They make it feel like they
- 1:24can't live without you sometimes.
- 1:25Y'all. Oh, I can't do.
- 1:27I can't do this without you. Right here.
- 1:28Like you going to leave me. You going to abandon me like
- 1:31everybody else does. You going to leave, leave me
- 1:33here by myself to my own vices. You know, I'm, you know, I need
- 1:35help. Wow.
- 1:36You never cared about me. You never loved me.
- 1:39You've been faking it this whole time.
- 1:40Wow. I knew you.
- 1:41I knew you were fake. I knew it.
- 1:43I knew the whole time. Blah blah blah Boo Boo Boo BBB.
- 1:45Y'all. Understand exactly what I'm
- 1:47saying. You don't.
- 1:48When you get to that point, when you realize though, okay, it's
- 1:50time to go. Because that's how they A lot of
- 1:52times that's outside of the trauma bond and part of the part
- 1:56of the trauma bond. Sometimes they convinced you
- 1:58that you can't leave because you owe them something like y'all
- 2:01been together for so long. You owe them another.
- 2:04You owe them a second or third or 4th, 15th chance.
- 2:07To to make things right. You owe them time to change.
- 2:11You owe them your body. You owe them your money, your
- 2:13spirit. They make you feel like you are
- 2:15obligated to give them these things just because they exist
- 2:19in your life. Not because they've earned it,
- 2:21but because they they they exist in your life.
- 2:25So the next time, like I said, if you get into your head like
- 2:27okay, it's time for me to leave. I'm I got to peel out.
- 2:30I got to choose me. I got to do what's best for me.
- 2:33Don't feel guilty. Y'all a lot of time.
- 2:35I know it's easy for me to say. But a lot of times, that
- 2:38narcissistic person wants to make you feel guilty.
- 2:40You owe the kid. Then if you if, if you feel like
- 2:43you don't owe them anything, they'll make you sound like you
- 2:46owe the kids. Or you owe the family members.
- 2:48You owe the church. You owe somebody something that
- 2:51keeps you bound to them. You owe God.
- 2:53No, no, no. You owe.
- 2:54You owe God. Not only do you owe me.
- 2:57You owe God, God said. You got to give me another
- 3:00chance. God said you got to work, you
- 3:02got to press through this, this tumultuous time right here.
- 3:05God said you got to let me clap them cheeks one more time so I
- 3:09can maybe get you pregnant. God said this.
- 3:11God said you go. God said you don't need to break
- 3:13the family up now. You don't owe them anything.
- 3:16That's why I I try to convince people this, to tell people this
- 3:19all the time. But it's it's it's easy to say
- 3:22and harder to prove because you have to ask yourself.
- 3:25Why do you feel like you owe this person another chance?
- 3:29Why do you feel like you owe this person more time?
- 3:32Is it peer pressure? Is it religious pressure?
- 3:35Is it toxic? Narcissistic pressure?
- 3:37Toxic pressure? Toxic narcissistic pressure is a
- 3:40real thing that I just made-up off the top of my head.
- 3:42Toxic, narcissistic pressure. Y'all you're gonna hear me do a
- 3:45video. Narcissistic pressure here
- 3:47pretty soon. Y'all gonna hear me do a video
- 3:52here pretty soon. Toxic narcissistic pressure.
- 3:55Y'all see me filming outside. I'm going to change locations
- 3:56here in a few seconds. Y'all I'm just filming outside
- 3:59right now. But like, yeah, if they put it
- 4:01into your head or you like if you get the inkling like okay,
- 4:05I'm done with this relationship dynamic.
- 4:07I'm done with this space because y'all sometimes the narcissistic
- 4:10person in your life isn't a it isn't a romantic partner.
- 4:14It could be your parent, you know?
- 4:16If it's your parent in this situation, you don't owe y'all
- 4:19your parents if your parents are toxic narcissistic people.
- 4:23The hell yeah. They're going to make you feel.
- 4:24They're going to make you feel like you owe them your life
- 4:26because they gave birth to you. They raise you, They put time,
- 4:29effort, energy into raising you. So you owe them something for
- 4:33your for you being here on this planet.
- 4:35But you don't owe your parents anything.
- 4:37Y'all you're not. Narcissistic parents might make
- 4:40you feel like you owed them your life and you owed them a life
- 4:42debt because they bought you onto this planet.
- 4:45They might have toxic they might have been abusive to you,
- 4:48neglectful to you, but hey. I'm your parent.
- 4:50You got it. You owe me your life.
- 4:52You owe me your loyalty. You owe me your respect.
- 4:54You owe me your money to take care of me.
- 4:57You owe me this. You owe me that.
- 4:58Toxic, narcissistic parents or some of the worst people, worst
- 5:01narcissistic people. To make you feel like you owe
- 5:03them something when you absolutely don't.
- 5:05And it's like, say it's easy to say, but it's hard to process
- 5:09that you don't owe your parents anything.
- 5:10Y'all. You don't even owe your parents
- 5:12respect. Like as an adult, when you get
- 5:13older, your parents have to earn your respect too.
- 5:17It's not we. We are all adults now.
- 5:19Because you gave birth to me. You raised me.
- 5:21Doesn't mean I owe you anything right now.
- 5:23I can owe you respect if you earn it.
- 5:25They have to. Yeah, they have to earn it.
- 5:27And it's crazy to hear that your parents have to earn something
- 5:30from you. Is it?
- 5:31I know some people like, believe.
- 5:32That's ignorant. Parent.
- 5:33The Bible says this. The Bible says that.
- 5:35I'm just telling you, they'll make you feel like they'll
- 5:38biblically make you feel toxic. Parents, if you're super
- 5:41religious or hyperreligious or whatever, religious, the
- 5:44domination you decide to follow. They'll use that to keep you in
- 5:47there. You owe God to give me another
- 5:49chance. You owe it to God.
- 5:50You owe it to this religion. You owe it to the church.
- 5:52The same dynamic applies sometimes y'all even outside of
- 5:55toxic relationship. Intimate, toxic, intimate
- 5:57relationships. Your toxic parents make you feel
- 6:00like you owe them something as well.
- 6:02Not just your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife,
- 6:04midnight, you know, just click one night stand.
- 6:07You know, use what I'm saying. You don't owe them anything.
- 6:10Y'all. But not only do toxic,
- 6:11narcissistic parents and. Intimate partners do this, make
- 6:16you feel like you owe them something.
- 6:17Toxic family members can do the same thing.
- 6:19Your toxic friends can make you feel like you can make you feel
- 6:22the same way, make you seem like you can't cut me off.
- 6:25You can't leave me alone because you owe me something.
- 6:28Your friends can do the same type of stuff.
- 6:29Y'all toxic friends. Your BFF, Your bestie might be
- 6:33toxic and say I had a toxic best friend that I had to cut off
- 6:37this year. Y'all dude went behind my back
- 6:39trying to spread rumors about me because my social media platform
- 6:42was growing. Start lying on me saying call
- 6:45kinds weirdness. And it made me feel like I owed
- 6:47him another chance of friendship.
- 6:48Because we had been friends for five years.
- 6:50For 5 1/2 years, man, we've been friends too long, man.
- 6:53No, no. Yeah, we've been friends too
- 6:55long for you to treat me this way.
- 6:57Ask yourself that Y'all. When they give you an excuse as
- 6:59to why you can't cut them off, you don't have to give them.
- 7:03Give them an excuse back because you've already made your mind
- 7:05up. But like he said, like he just
- 7:08said, sometimes you can have your own rebuttal inside of your
- 7:11mind. We've been friends too long for
- 7:12you to cut me off. No.
- 7:14We've been friends too long for you to treat me this way and act
- 7:16this way. Bam.
- 7:17Got you cut off. You see what I'm saying?
- 7:19I he may try to make you feel like I owe him friendship or
- 7:21another chance of friendship because we had longevity, You
- 7:24know what I mean? Same situation applies.
- 7:26Or y'all. Not just friends, not just enemy
- 7:28partners, not just parents. Your toxic ass workplace, your
- 7:32toxic ass boss or your toxic ass employer can make you feel like
- 7:36you owe them. So yeah, you can't quit.
- 7:38You can't quit. You go.
- 7:39You owe us a six year notice. I know.
- 7:43That is normally a twoweek notice.
- 7:45You can't give us six months. You see what I'm saying?
- 7:48They make you feel like you owe them your loyalty.
- 7:51Your schools y'all toxic, toxic environments make you feel like
- 7:55you owe them your loyalty because you went there.
- 7:57Your toxic school, your toxic workplace make you feel like you
- 8:00owe them. Hey, you've been here five years
- 8:02and you don't leave us without a pay raise.
- 8:06Jobs love, Bob. Look, y'all jobs can love bomb
- 8:09you, just like intimate partners can.
- 8:12Your job can love bomb the hell out of you, just like an
- 8:14intimate partner can. Absolutely, they absolutely can.
- 8:17Y'all as I tell people like your job.
- 8:19Your toxic job can love bomb the hell out of you too.
- 8:22Absolutely. And then they can make you feel
- 8:25like because they gave you a job, because they gave you an
- 8:27opportunity. Your toxic boss gave you an
- 8:30opportunity with no one else did.
- 8:31You owe me your loyalty. But like the saying, flip it on
- 8:37them. Y'all.
- 8:38They would get rid of you. Think about it.
- 8:41In the dynamic right there, y'all they would get rid of you
- 8:44and you don't owe. And like I said, it would get
- 8:47like the narcissistic person would get rid of you and tell
- 8:50you that they don't owe you anything.
- 8:52So why can't you do the same thing for them?
- 8:54Why can't you do the same thing for yourself?
- 8:56You see what I'm saying? Why do you have to be loyal to
- 8:58somebody who isn't loyal to you? You see what I'm saying?
- 9:00Respect is earned, y'all. It's just not something that's
- 9:03giving out Willy nilly. Love is also earned.
- 9:06I just feel like it's not something that should be giving
- 9:09out Willy nilly. This how it just goes, though.
- 9:12Y'all. You don't owe the narcissistic
- 9:14person in your life anything. Anything, if anything.
- 9:19You owe you. You owe your kids.
- 9:22You owe yourself your emotional health.
- 9:23You owe your physical health. You owe yourself a chance at a
- 9:27healthy parenting dynamic, a healthy life, a better job.
- 9:32You see what I'm saying? Healthy emotional growth.
- 9:34Because you have to cut your toxic parents off or talk to
- 9:36them less. Or whatever.
- 9:39When I tell you to cut everybody completely off, y'all, you know
- 9:40what I'm saying. You can choose to talk to people
- 9:42left. You can.
- 9:42You can set boundaries. That's because they won't.
- 9:45Only they don't only try to convince you that you owe them
- 9:48something. If you decide to cut them off,
- 9:50they'll make it seem like you owe them something If you have
- 9:52to, try to set boundaries on them.
- 9:53Just a boundary. If you try to set a boundary on
- 9:56them, they'll make it sound like you owe them your damn life.
- 9:58Like how? How?
- 9:59Owe you a blood debt. Because we friends.
- 10:02How how do you owe you a life debt?
- 10:03Because we we slept together a couple times.
- 10:05We got we got because we got married a long time ago.
