- 0:05about wasting your time. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:11Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist and
- 0:13welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:32Boom. Welcome back folks, welcome
- 0:34back, welcome back. Yes, yes, yes.
- 0:35They don't care. Y'all, let's keep it hot and
- 0:38ready like a Little Caesar's pizza.
- 0:39They do not care about wasting your damn time.
- 0:45They don't. Well Lee, why don't they care?
- 0:48Lee? Why don't they care about
- 0:49wasting our time? Are are they not wasting their
- 0:52own time as well? No, they are not wasting their
- 0:56time because their needs are being met Whatever they want
- 1:00from you, they're getting from you, which is why they stay
- 1:02around you, which is why they to keep you in a relationship like
- 1:06or keep you in a relationship, not just even a committed
- 1:07relationship. Why they keep you in a committed
- 1:10situation ship why they keep you at the friends with benefit
- 1:13status. Yeah, you will be in the friends
- 1:15with benefit status with a narcissist for years years.
- 1:20Y'all be doing everything. Y'all have everything going on
- 1:23except commitment. You'll be committed, but they
- 1:26won't and you notice that they when you notice that they're not
- 1:30being committed directly to you, they'll tell you we're not in a
- 1:32relationship together. But when you try to move out, I
- 1:34mean when you try to do your own thing, they harp, scream, cry,
- 1:38squawk, do every damn thing from the bottom, from the bottom, top
- 1:43of the book. Do everything out of the book of
- 1:45narcissism. They don't care.
- 1:48Sorry y'all got caught up. You said my throat just gave out
- 1:50right there. My throat just like you know
- 1:51what, Lee? No, we're not going to talk.
- 1:56But yeah, they do not care about wasting your time.
- 1:59You might be feel like you wasting your time.
- 2:01Like if you feel like, and a lot of people fall into the sunk
- 2:04cost fallacy or the sunken cost fallacy where you feel like
- 2:08you've invested so much time, effort, energy and money into it
- 2:11where you might as well give them another chance, right?
- 2:13You might as well stay, right? You might as well talk to them,
- 2:16right? That's how you feel.
- 2:18That's how a lot of people feel. You're like well might as well
- 2:21just I already got 10 years in it, might as well give them
- 2:24another year. No, you got 10 years in it.
- 2:27They've shown you who they are. Bounce.
- 2:30You can't get the time back anyway.
- 2:32Most times you can't get the money back unless you got a
- 2:34signed contract or a promissory note from them.
- 2:37You mean you can't get it back anyway?
- 2:41So don't don't fall into the sunk cost fallacy just thinking
- 2:43that well I might as well throw more into it since I already put
- 2:46so much into it. There's so many people who fall
- 2:48into that dynamic and give up their power.
- 2:51Like when you give your power up to a narcissist, they win 100%
- 2:55of the time. When you give them everything
- 2:56that they want and you're not getting anything in return other
- 3:00than some temporary companionship, some sex, every
- 3:03once in a while, they win it. Narcissist thing in terms of
- 3:07wins and losses, I'm winning. If I'm getting everything that I
- 3:12want from you and you're you getting the bare minimum for me,
- 3:15our relationship on my side of things is very low effort, then
- 3:20I'm winning. You see what I'm saying?
- 3:23I'm winning. I'm achieving some type of
- 3:25victory because you in this situation, you are chasing after
- 3:29me like you want me. You want the you want, You want
- 3:33the victory for me. This is what you want, right?
- 3:36This is the mentality of narcissists.
- 3:37This is the mentality of toxic people.
- 3:39This is the mentality of abusers, abusers, abusers,
- 3:42abusers right here. They do.
- 3:44This is the type of stuff they do.
- 3:46And I, I tell it to people all the time, if you feel like
- 3:50you're wasting time in a relationship, but you have kids,
- 3:52but you have this together, it's OK for you to decide to choose
- 3:56you. It's OK for you to decide to
- 3:58just do what you want to do and escape the toxicity, escape the
- 4:01abuse. It's OK.
- 4:03Y'all, So many people fall into the into the situation where you
- 4:06feel like, well, it's not OK, Lee, I'm sad.
- 4:08I get that too. I understand beings.
- 4:11I understand that you're sad. I understand that your feelings
- 4:13are hurt. I understand that you feel like
- 4:14your heart is broken. I get all of that, right?
- 4:17I understand all of that. I get it, but in these
- 4:20situations right here, you have to understand that it's OK to
- 4:24choose you. You're not wasting time.
- 4:27You're not wasting any more time.
- 4:28I don't feel like it's for me. I don't feel like you're wasting
- 4:31your time anyway because I this is my mindset right here.
- 4:35It's not a loss if you learn from it because if you get into
- 4:38the mindset that all this time has been wasted, I gave this
- 4:42person 20 years and I got nothing to show for.
- 4:44I'm sad as hell that's going that's going to lead you into
- 4:47the depressive state. It's not a loss if you learn
- 4:51from it. I personally, this is my own
- 4:53perspective, don't think that it was all fake with a narcissist.
- 4:57If you feel like thinking they believing that it was all fake
- 5:00helps you heal faster, then hey by all means take that road
- 5:04right there. But for me as a diagnose
- 5:06narcissist myself, I don't think it was all fake from the
- 5:09beginning. There might be some good moments
- 5:11in there, there might be some good times in there.
- 5:13They just can't. What if they, what if they loved
- 5:14you to their full capability and it's just not enough for you?
- 5:19What if they gave you everything, everything that they
- 5:21had and it just wasn't enough? You see what I'm saying?
- 5:25That's how you can reframe it. Because if you think you're
- 5:27wasting time, that can lead you into depression and that can
- 5:30lead you directly back into the sunk cause fallacy.
- 5:33Well, I already gave them 20 years.
- 5:35Might as well give them 20 more. What's two more years?
- 5:38What's 10 more years? You see what I'm saying?
- 5:40At least I won't be alone. Will you fall into that?
- 5:42At least I won't be alone category.
- 5:44Yo, you're going to be so damn sad at the end of it.
- 5:49At least I wasn't alone. Imagine being on your deathbed
- 5:52and just think, at least I wasn't alone.
- 5:56Grandma or Grandpa, were you happy?
- 6:05No, baby, but I wasn't alone. Imagine that being your last
- 6:10words. You go to heaven.
- 6:13At least I wasn't alone. You something.
- 6:16That fear of being alone keep so many people stuck.
- 6:19Their fear of being. Their fear of being alone keep
- 6:20so many people down and out. Their fear of being alone keep
- 6:23so many people down and out. Their fear of being alone keep
- 6:26so many people trapped in this relationship dynamic.
- 6:29It's OK to be alone. I feel like when you, when you
- 6:31get rid of that fear of being alone, you can win, You can
- 6:35start to achieve that victory that you want, the victory that
- 6:38you're imagining anyway. You can start to achieve that
- 6:41right there because that's what you want, right?
- 6:44This is what that's what the goal, the goal is.
- 6:45Isn't happiness the goal like fulfillment, the goal?
- 6:48If you're not happy or fulfilled, what's the goal here?
- 6:51What's the point? What are we doing?
- 6:52What are we, what are we doing here?
- 6:53B. What are we doing here if we're
- 6:56not happy or fulfilled? What's the goal here?
- 6:58What's the, what's the game plan here?
- 7:00What are we doing right here if neither one of us are happy or
- 7:03fulfilled? What's the actual game plan
- 7:05here? Are we just going to exist into
- 7:08obscurity? And if we just fall off and just
- 7:10disappear, is that what's going to happen?
- 7:13You see what I'm saying? Like they don't care about like
- 7:16as long as their needs are being met, as long as they have some
- 7:18type of access to you. Narcissistic people will keep
- 7:21you around y'all. They absolutely will.
- 7:23They will keep you around until they until they feel like they
- 7:26exhaust all of your resources. Not just financial, not just not
- 7:30just financial, not just housing, all of your emotional
- 7:34resources. They will keep you around until
- 7:36they exhaust you of all your emotional resources as well.
- 7:40They until they can no longer get any type of narcissistic
- 7:43supply from you. And then guess what happens?
- 7:45You gave it your all. You keep trying harder and
- 7:47harder and harder and guess what happens?
- 7:49They end up leaving your ass. They leave you high and dry
- 7:51after 20 years, after 26 years, you know you should have left
- 7:54ten years ago, but you give them 10 MO and then they leave you
- 7:58and then you lead you to a further depression.
- 8:00And this is not me trying to just insist that you pack your
- 8:03stuff up and bounce. This is not me trying to insist
- 8:05that. This is me just saying, hey,
- 8:07look, think about it this way. Think about it this way.
- 8:10Look into the future. Like look into the future.
- 8:13You see what I'm saying? Look into that crystal ball and
- 8:14just think like, am I like grandma, Grandpa, were you
- 8:18happy? I wasn't alone.
- 8:21Just imagine that being your. Imagine that being your future
- 8:23right there. I wasn't.
- 8:24At least I wasn't alone. There's no way to live, y'all.
- 8:27Yeah, I do a lot of these videos.
- 8:29I do so many videos because I want y'all to be fulfilled.
- 8:31I do. I want y'all to be fulfilled.
- 8:33I want you to live happy lives because I'm being like, right
- 8:35now, having narcissistic personality disorder, I'm more
- 8:38fulfilled than ever. You know what I mean?
- 8:39Because I'm helping so many people that that fulfills me.
- 8:41I'm helping so many people, reconnecting with so many people
- 8:45from my past, my friends and stuff like that, and rebuilding
- 8:47old relationships that I might have fallen by the wayside.
- 8:50Yeah, I'm doing so many good things right here, y'all.
- 8:52I'm being fulfilled. I want y'all to experience that
- 8:54fulfillment. If a narcissist can be
- 8:56fulfilled, why can't you? And self fulfillment is what
- 9:01comes first. What does self fulfillment look
- 9:03like for you? What does self love look like
- 9:06for you? What does self empowerment look
- 9:08like for you? What does that look like for
- 9:10you? Use what I'm saying, what does
- 9:12your future hold? If you're happy, if you're
- 9:14extremely happy, if you content 10 years in the future, what 10
- 9:19years in the future? What does happiness look like
- 9:21for you? They buy out there y'all 10
- 9:26years into the future. What does happiness look like
- 9:28for you? A year.
- 9:28Let's say I ain't go 10 years. Let's go a year, six months and
- 9:31let's just say the narcissistic person in your life has not
- 9:35changed. That's the that's the that's the
- 9:36criteria right there. That's the only criteria.
- 9:38They haven't changed. They're still the exact same
- 9:40person or they've gotten a little bit worse.
- 9:42They haven't gotten any better. They've gotten worse.
- 9:45What's 6 months look like for you?
- 9:47A year, 2 years? And I'm not trying to make you
- 9:49sleep like it's easy to leave y'all.
- 9:51That's not what I'm trying to do.
- 9:53I'm just trying to let y'all know.
- 9:54They're like, if you're unhappy now, you're going to be unhappy
- 9:56in the in the future. You know, you can be unhappy
- 9:59with them. You can find that self love
- 10:00within yourself. And I tell you to leave, but
- 10:02finally let love within yourself and then making a conscientious
- 10:05decision whether to leave in a stand is the best thing for you.
- 10:08Hey, follow me. Do it like that because as long
- 10:10as they're getting their needs met, they're going to, they're
- 10:13going to be there in what, some way, shape or form they can
- 10:15leave you. The crazy thing about it is they
- 10:18can leave you, right? They can leave you for somebody
- 10:21else and still feel they can leave you for somebody else and
- 10:25still feel like they can come back to you at any time.
- 10:28They still can feel like they have some type of access to you.
- 10:30That's the mindset. That's the mentality of
- 10:32narcissistic abuse of people right there.
- 10:34I can leave you for somebody else and I can still somehow,
- 10:37some way, shape or form get access to you.
- 10:39That's the space they they, that's the space that they're
- 10:41going to be in, you know? So that's something that's just
- 10:43something to consider right there when you're making your
- 10:45next move, y'all. Anyway, y'all make sure you
