Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we're going to be talking about why narcissists are always
- 0:06wanting more from you. More, more, more.
- 0:09If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:10I'm a self aware narcissist and welcome to another episode of
- 0:13the Narcissist Code. So boom, welcome back folks,
- 0:32welcome back, welcome back. Yes, yes, yes, more, more, more.
- 0:35Give me more, more, more narcissistic people.
- 0:38Toxic people are always wanting more, just like I want more
- 0:42people to check out joining my support group called the Mental
- 0:44healers. You know you can find a link and
- 0:47everything for me, my one on ones everything coaching
- 0:50everything at mentalillness.net. Check it out.
- 0:54But yes, more more more as though it's funny.
- 0:57This is how the mind of a lot of narcissistic toxic people work
- 1:01out. They are always, they will never
- 1:04ever be fully satisfied with what is going on.
- 1:06They will never ever be fully satisfied with what is happening
- 1:09in their lives. This is just almost damn near a
- 1:12statement of fact for most narcissists, right?
- 1:16Diagnosed or not, most narcissists for me, just my
- 1:20opinion, won't be fully happy. So This is why this is what
- 1:25happens to so many people. Like you get so confused.
- 1:27You get so lost in the sauce of dealing with toxic narcissistic
- 1:30people that you understand. You saw this sound to see and
- 1:33understand. They're like narcissistic
- 1:35people. Nothing you do for them will
- 1:37ever be enough for them. Like you would do something.
- 1:40You've been over backwards. You've been over forwards.
- 1:42You do everything that they require of you or even more.
- 1:45You go. Like you will go above and
- 1:48beyond the Call of Duty for a narcissist, right?
- 1:52And they it still won't be enough for them.
- 1:56Like you literally absolutely will be, can be going over it
- 2:00like literally above and beyond the Call of Duty.
- 2:04Like losing it, like losing your mind, sacrificing your time,
- 2:07effort, energy, giving up your family, friends, every single
- 2:11thing you can imagine to make this person happy.
- 2:14And they still will have their hand out, asking you for more.
- 2:17Have their hand out, have their hands open, always asking you to
- 2:21give them more. Because what you're giving to
- 2:24them right now, they don't feel. They don't feel like it's
- 2:27enough. Because nothing can make
- 2:29narcissists fully happy. I know y'all hear me give this
- 2:33analogy before and I don't even know where it's at anymore, my
- 2:36little cup. But trying to make a narcissist
- 2:40happy y'all is trying to is literally trying to like feel.
- 2:44Imagine trying to fill this up with water.
- 2:48Y'all see the the holes in this Imagine trying to fill this
- 2:52little pencil cup, this pencil holder with water.
- 2:55Imagine the difficulty, the difficulty that that would be
- 2:59the the level of difficulty that would be.
- 3:01It's impossible. You cannot do it.
- 3:04So imagine pouring. You keep pouring like you get
- 3:07you don't try anyway because you love it.
- 3:08You love that pencil holder. You love that pencil cup, right?
- 3:11You love it. You want more of it, you need
- 3:13it. So you're doing so much forward,
- 3:15right? You go above and beyond the Call
- 3:17of Duty to try to make that person.
- 3:20They try to make this person happy and it doesn't work.
- 3:23They might be happy in the moment.
- 3:24They might seem satisfied at the moment, or sometimes they might
- 3:27not even seem satisfied or happy in the moment.
- 3:29Their face won't change. They won't be a pretty, they
- 3:31won't show appreciation because they a lot of times when you
- 3:34going above and beyond for narcissists, they feel entitled
- 3:38to it. They feel entitled to your time,
- 3:40effort and energy. They feel extremely entitled to
- 3:44it. I promise you they do.
- 3:46This is what happens when you're dealing with an abusive person,
- 3:50like a president, abusive person.
- 3:51They had, they come from a debt that has a, that has a lack of
- 3:55empathy, a lack of compassion, a lack they you, you dealing with
- 3:59an abusive person. They come from a lack.
- 4:02So once they lack, right when they when they come in from the
- 4:04lack, once they start doing this type of stuff and saying this
- 4:06type of stuff, you start to understand like, damn, this
- 4:10ain't good. This ain't going to work out for
- 4:12me. This isn't going to bode well
- 4:14for me, right? So it messes with you, it making
- 4:18mess you up. I can do a number on your mind.
- 4:20You're trying to go above me out for this person.
- 4:23You know, that's why they're saying like if you did on
- 4:25somebody that's coming from a lack, you start to understand
- 4:28quickly, like overtime or maybe overtime, they're trying to make
- 4:32this person happy is a bait. You're going to waste a lot of
- 4:35time, effort and energy. It's like, it's like, and it's
- 4:38like a damn. Yeah, it's, it's, it's a
- 4:40thankless job. It's like the jobs that go, the
- 4:44jobs that people do behind the scenes, like cleaning the
- 4:47sewers, fixing pipes, fixing burst pipes on the ground, you
- 4:51know, fixing buildings, replacing the air conditioner.
- 4:55It's a thankless job. Like you, just because we are
- 4:57humans out here, we just expected to be done.
- 5:00Narcissists feel like they're entitled to everything that you
- 5:02do for them. So sometimes even if you go
- 5:05above and beyond, they still might not show any type of
- 5:08happiness. They still might not feign any
- 5:11type of happiness towards you. They still might pretend like
- 5:14they what you have done for them does not matter.
- 5:17And I know I like say, imagine the frustration that you're
- 5:20going to feel when it happens to you.
- 5:22Imagine that because they're going to like I said, it's going
- 5:25to happen. You're going to be like, you can
- 5:27go above and beyond And when they're not happy when I said
- 5:31when you go above and beyond and they're still not happy or
- 5:35satisfied with what what you're doing for them, you're going to
- 5:38be you'll be mad as hell. You'll be mad at yourself.
- 5:40You'll be mad at them for being ungrateful, but you're also
- 5:42going to be mad at yourself because.
- 5:44This is going to be part of the journey.
- 5:45This is going to be part of the journey, part of the.
- 5:46Dynamic that you're going to be experiencing and I know I told
- 5:49you it's going to be so extremely frustrating for you to
- 5:54keep pouring because this is what happens sometimes they make
- 5:58you feel like you did a good job but you couldn't get better.
- 6:01You can cook their favorite meal, right?
- 6:03You can cook a narcissist's favorite meal, but you didn't
- 6:06put enough salt on it. You can buy them their favorite
- 6:09video game, but it's, you know, they you buy you buy for PS4
- 6:12instead of PS5. You buy for Xbox instead of you
- 6:16buy for the Xbox instead of PlayStation.
- 6:18You made a little mistake. They don't care.
- 6:21You see what I'm saying? Like you going to give a lot of
- 6:24this is what this is what I see happen to so many people right
- 6:28here out that you sacrifice for people that are not willing to
- 6:33sacrifice for you. Like the reciprocation for these
- 6:38relationships just is not there. Like you won't get out of it
- 6:42what you put in. I said I'm going to start saying
- 6:44this in a lot of these videos because you will not get out of
- 6:47this what you put in. Like as a narcissist myself, as
- 6:51a diagnosed narcissist, me being happy is a fleeting thing.
- 6:55I'm trying for like because I've been in therapy so long, I've
- 6:57been working on myself so long. I'm I'm more in tune with my
- 7:00emotional state that I feel better now right than what I
- 7:05used to feel. I feel a lot better now than
- 7:08what I used to feel and that allows me the different a space
- 7:12to kind of grow in a space to kind of feel and whatnot.
- 7:15So I feel a lot better right now than what I used to feel.
- 7:19But it's still, you know, it's still happiness comes and goes.
- 7:23It's very, it comes and goes very fast.
- 7:24So I'm always trying to find something else to make me happy.
- 7:27I'm always trying to find something else to fulfill this
- 7:30need or to fill this gap or whatever it is in my life.
- 7:33I'm always trying to find a way to do more for myself.
- 7:36I'm probably trying to find a way to get more out of myself.
- 7:38But most narcissists are not where I'm at right now, y'all?
- 7:41Instead of trying to find some of like a way to get something
- 7:43out more out of themselves, they try to find a way to get more
- 7:46out of you. And then if you're not giving
- 7:48them enough, they try to stoke the fear in you that they're
- 7:51going to go get it, give it to somebody else.
- 7:54They're going to go cheat on you because you didn't give them
- 7:55what they wanted. They're going to go leave this
- 7:57relationship and do something else with somebody else.
- 7:59Like they're going to stoke the fear within you to mess with
- 8:03your mind. They just absolutely are.
- 8:05This is the mindset. This is the ever changing
- 8:08dynamic of an abusive person. This is where it goes.
- 8:12So when you're dealing with a toxic narcissistic person, just
- 8:15understand that nothing I need this and they got to hear this.
- 8:18Nothing that you ever do for this person will be enough for
- 8:21them. You know, and I thought you said
- 8:24I'm not telling you like say I'm not telling you to leave your
- 8:27relationship, y'all. That's a choice that you have to
- 8:29make, right? I'm telling you to understand
- 8:32that what you like, like it's kind of like radical acceptance
- 8:36without the ramen said in her book.
- 8:38You have to accept the fact that if you're going to stay in here
- 8:40in this relationship, that everything that you do will
- 8:44never measure up to how you think you should.
- 8:47Like everything that you do for this person is going to be kind
- 8:50of graded on a curve and the curve is going down and not up.
- 8:54You see what I'm saying? They're graded.
- 8:55They're they're graded on the reverse curve.
- 8:58They're graded. The curve is going down, not up.
- 9:00You know, people graded on the curve, you get a 65, you
- 9:04actually get a 65, but they grade on the curve, you got an
- 9:0680. This is the exact opposite.
- 9:09You played a 95%, you get a 65, you get A50.
- 9:13If you're OK with that, Do you see what I'm saying?
- 9:18It's just like a lot of times you have to learn how to give
- 9:20more to yourself in this relationship than what you're
- 9:22giving to this other person. And I know that's hard and it's
- 9:25difficult for so many people who've been, you know who, who
- 9:28might have been, right? Like this might be against your
- 9:30religious belief. This might be against your
- 9:32religious belief. This might be against how you
- 9:36feel, how you were raised and whatnot.
- 9:37This might be against going against so much of what you feel
- 9:40internally that is just different, like you don't feel
- 9:43comfortable doing this. And that's understandable coming
- 9:45from in my mind, right? I get that.
- 9:47I understand that there's not that might not be comfortable
- 9:49for you in this space to be dealing with, to try to
- 9:51understand and to try to try to grasp.
- 9:53I get that. But most narcissists are not
- 9:55going to get that. They're going to be there just
- 9:58like, hey, I need this from you. Give me more or I'm going to
- 10:02leave you. Give me more or I'm going to
- 10:04cheat on you. Give me more or I'm going to do
- 10:06this and I'm going to do that. Give me more, more, more.
- 10:09And about to sing. It sound like about to sing a
- 10:10song. Don't give me more, more, more.
- 10:12I'm gonna leave your ass. That's the mentality of
- 10:16narcissistic people. That's the dynamic that you
- 10:18might face dealing with an abusive person.
- 10:20So this is something you have to consider moving forward, Y'all?
- 10:23It really, really is. Just understand that no matter
- 10:25how much you pour in today, in today, in today, cut with holes
- 10:29in it. It's going to empty out sooner
- 10:31or later. The more you pour, the more it's
- 10:34going to run out fast. It's going to run out faster.
- 10:35The more you fill it up, the faster it runs out.
- 10:37Sometimes you pour so much into it, you never know.
- 10:39You, you pour so much into it, it makes the hole bigger, so
- 10:42it's all coming out faster. You pour, so you pour so much
- 10:45into the cup so fast. Sometimes it makes the hole
- 10:47bigger. And if you're it, it, it
- 10:50depletes faster. Now I just need y'all to know
- 10:53that it's not your fault that the cup is being depleted
- 10:56faster. That's not on you.
- 10:58Don't take accountability. Don't take blame for somebody
- 11:00else not being happy with the stuff that you're doing because
- 11:03they can't be fulfilled, they can't be fully fulfilled and
- 11:05whatnot. Y'all, that's not on you, that's
- 11:07on them. Been with y'all.
