What Really Happens When a Narcissist Ends Up Alone? · The Mental Healness Podcast

• 0:00
  So what happens to narcissist when they end up alone?
• 0:04
  What happens to them if they end up by themselves?
• 0:08
  When it's all said and done, the answer might surprise you.
• 0:12
  Y'all, if you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
• 0:19
  I'm a diagnosed narcissist myself and let's hop right into
• 0:22
  it y'all. Seriously, Narcissistic people
• 0:27
  need narcissistic supply to survive.
• 0:29
  I think most of most if not everybody can agree to that,
• 0:32
  right? I think most people just
• 0:34
  understand that narcissists as a whole need external validation
• 0:38
  to keep it moving, to pump it, to keep it pumping, right?
• 0:41
  I think everybody can agree with that.
• 0:43
  But what some people don't realize is that some narcissists
• 0:48
  are perfectly fine being by themselves.
• 0:51
  So what inspired this video is a comment that I actually received
• 0:56
  on one of my new videos, one of my latest videos where somebody
• 0:59
  asked this question and then somebody else responded to it
• 1:02
  saying that Sam Vagnon says that some narcissists are perfectly
• 1:06
  fine if they end up by themselves because they give
• 1:10
  themselves the excuse that no one else deserves to be with
• 1:14
  them, that no one is worthy of them.
• 1:18
  Like I went through my whole entire, I went through my whole
• 1:22
  entire life just to find out that no one else is worthy of
• 1:27
  me. No one else is worthy of being
• 1:29
  around me or living life with me or collaborating with me or
• 1:33
  giving me that sweet, sweet narcissistic supply.
• 1:37
  Now I know what you're wondering.
• 1:40
  Like, well, Lee, if they need validation to survive, how do
• 1:44
  they get how do they get validation if they by
• 1:46
  themselves? That's a good question.
• 1:48
  That's what I had to start with. So I wonder, yeah, I was like,
• 1:51
  OK, if they end up by themselves and they need external
• 1:55
  validation, what the hell did they do?
• 1:57
  What the hell would a narcissist do?
• 1:59
  So I had to put on my narcissist hat, right?
• 2:01
  I ain't, I ain't got nothing. I had to, I had to put on my
• 2:05
  narcissist hat, right? And go into narcissist, my
• 2:08
  narcissistic mindset. I was like, if what Sam Vacnan
• 2:12
  said is true, where some narcissists are perfectly fine
• 2:15
  being by themselves because they justify it.
• 2:18
  They justify the fact that no one else deserves to be around
• 2:21
  them. Everybody else is unqualified.
• 2:24
  If that is true, then I get validation from debt.
• 2:29
  So I do think that some narcissistic people might be
• 2:33
  able to self self validate through the rejection from other
• 2:38
  people. I just thought about that.
• 2:40
  Y'all didn't write this thing. I didn't write that thing.
• 2:42
  I just thought about that. I was like, wow, I like some.
• 2:45
  I had to take my narcissist hat off y'all.
• 2:47
  If I keep it on too long, I start getting toxic.
• 2:50
  Yeah, I'm just kidding. No, but seriously, I think
• 2:53
  there's some narcissist. What are y'all thoughts dropping
• 2:55
  the comment section. But I think there's some
• 2:56
  narcissist could validate their loneliness and then them being
• 3:01
  alone through what I just what I was just stating.
• 3:05
  I think they could validate it through.
• 3:08
  I'm just too good for everybody else.
• 3:11
  Of course it's a lie, right? Of course it's manipulation.
• 3:15
  But who is the target of this manipulation if it's not me?
• 3:19
  So I'm manipulating myself now, you know what I'm saying?
• 3:22
  So I'm, I'm the victim of my own manipulation.
• 3:25
  What the hell? What sense does that make it in
• 3:27
  that in that situation right there?
• 3:29
  So I myself and the victim of my own manipulation.
• 3:33
  Think about it. I think that's Jay.
• 3:36
  I haven't watched very many of Sam Vachtman's videos, but I
• 3:40
  thought that was true. I thought that was fascinating.
• 3:41
  I was like, wow, that's a fascinating thought right there.
• 3:45
  So shout out to him right there. But I said I didn't watch the
• 3:47
  video, but I just give, I'm giving my own thoughts about it.
• 3:50
  I'm just thinking about, it's like if I end up alone, yes, I
• 3:54
  can validate me. I can validate myself because
• 3:59
  I'm too good for everybody else. Even if I'm a bum, even if I
• 4:04
  live by myself, even if I'm broke and unsuccessful, guess
• 4:08
  what? I'm still too good for
• 4:11
  everybody. And I know that look, I know as
• 4:16
  someone who's not a narcissist, that sounds, that can sound
• 4:20
  utterly ridiculous to you. You like Lee, that's the
• 4:23
  dumbest. That's the dumbest stuff I think
• 4:25
  I've ever heard in my life. What the hell are you talking
• 4:28
  about? Like you're a bum, you're
• 4:31
  uneducated, you have no like your quality of life is very
• 4:35
  low, but somehow you're still too good for everybody else.
• 4:39
  Yes, I think when you hear about narcissist, they they just they
• 4:44
  think about they like this. Y'all when you are talking
• 4:47
  thinking about narcissist or you're learning about
• 4:48
  narcissist, one of the first things that I learned about is
• 4:53
  delusions of grandeur, right? That not only just the delusions
• 4:57
  of grandeur, but like the entitlement that comes along
• 5:00
  with being a narcissist. Like I'm, I'm a narcissist, I'm
• 5:03
  uneducated, but I'm also entitled as well.
• 5:07
  I know it sounds like a ridiculous thing to say out
• 5:11
  loud, but this is how the mind of a lot of narcissists work
• 5:15
  right here. Y'all seriously Like, this is
• 5:18
  how we think. This is how we process.
• 5:19
  This is how we justify our behaviors and what we are doing.
• 5:24
  This is how we this is how we make sense of the things that
• 5:28
  have we have done and what not. This is how we make sense of the
• 5:31
  toxicity. This is how we make sense of the
• 5:33
  lies. This is how we make sense of the
• 5:35
  manipulative behaviors that we exhibit.
• 5:37
  This is how we make sense of it all.
• 5:39
  This is how we justify it right here by our own selfish
• 5:43
  entitlement and delusions. I'm too good for everybody else,
• 5:47
  hence why I'm by myself. That's crazy.
• 5:52
  I want to yeah, y'all been following me for a long time.
• 5:56
  Y'all understand? I'll be having these.
• 5:57
  I'll be having these breakthroughs sometimes while
• 5:59
  I'll be doing a video. I'll be like, wait a minute, I,
• 6:03
  I didn't think of that. I just did.
• 6:05
  And I've. I've been doing this for too
• 6:08
  long. I've been doing this for five
• 6:09
  years now. And this is, yeah, this is not
• 6:13
  the longest job I've had about to say.
• 6:15
  This is like the longest career job I've ever had.
• 6:17
  But it's not just yet. I think next year will probably
• 6:19
  be, it'll probably surpass Harris Teeter distribution
• 6:23
  Center and whatnot. But yeah, y'all, that's crazy
• 6:26
  when I think about that. So some narcissists will
• 6:29
  absolutely be OK with ending up alone.
• 6:32
  And I think they can self validate.
• 6:34
  But on the other side of things, on the flip side of things, this
• 6:38
  doesn't apply for everybody. Y'all notice I use the word some
• 6:42
  SOME, some narcissist can do that self validation through the
• 6:48
  delusions of grandeur and stuff like that.
• 6:51
  Others cannot. I think if a narcissist, if most
• 6:55
  narcissists end up alone, they could try that self
• 6:59
  justification like I'm too good for everybody.
• 7:01
  They can try that. But in the end, is that what
• 7:04
  actually is going down? Is that what actually is going
• 7:07
  to happen? Right.
• 7:09
  They can try that, but they'd be lying to themselves.
• 7:12
  And not every lie to yourself is going to not everybody's going
• 7:15
  to believe when you lie. Even when you're lying to
• 7:17
  yourself, you're not always going to believe that.
• 7:20
  So I think the narcissist that ends up alone, that doesn't have
• 7:23
  a partner, that doesn't have a new supply that runs auto
• 7:26
  supply, I think they some people just literally go crazy.
• 7:30
  I think some of them would literally go crazy in today's
• 7:33
  day and age. Of course.
• 7:35
  Are there different ways to get supplied?
• 7:37
  Yeah, they can get online and pretend to be somebody else like
• 7:41
  they you can see these trolls online.
• 7:44
  You get the trolling narcissist, the trolling in cell
• 7:46
  narcissistic person, right. That on they pretend to be
• 7:50
  somebody else online. You can do it like that.
• 7:53
  You can manipulate people like that.
• 7:54
  I actually saw a story on a on Ray William Johnson's page very,
• 7:58
  very recently where he was talking about like he did a
• 8:01
  story on a, on a, an older guy who was I think he was married
• 8:04
  getting he got divorced and he was by himself.
• 8:06
  He started pretending to be like a 20 year old gamer and we had
• 8:10
  girls knocking on the door like pretty much like you had girls
• 8:13
  chasing after him and stuff like that.
• 8:14
  He was still getting supply even though he was alone.
• 8:19
  Like he was a lonely older man, probably narcissistic because
• 8:22
  the only manipulating people, but he was like literally a
• 8:25
  lonely older man and online pretended to be a young dude
• 8:29
  creating this false character, creating a false identity, being
• 8:33
  someone that he absolutely was not.
• 8:34
  And he was getting narcissistic supply from it 'cause he had
• 8:37
  young girls, like not little girls were like they were adults
• 8:40
  sending him pictures and videos and mail, mailing them a pair of
• 8:45
  their panties. He was like, yeah, he was going,
• 8:47
  he was going off with it. He was literally going off with
• 8:50
  this type of stuff. And I was like, damn, like damn,
• 8:52
  he's doing all that. Yes, he was doing all of that.
• 8:55
  He absolutely was. He was doing all of this stuff
• 8:57
  and kept it moving. Like this is who he was.
• 8:59
  This is who he had become. Like he enjoyed this type of
• 9:02
  stuff and did. In the end he ended up going
• 9:05
  crazy and unalibing somebody when his I guess when his
• 9:08
  girlfriend his fake online girlfriend had broke up with
• 9:12
  him, he end up on alive in her new fake boyfriend or whatever.
• 9:16
  He ended up in jail for it. But you see it the type the link
• 9:18
  that they will go for. So for the narcissist, they end
• 9:21
  up alone and they can't self validate.
• 9:24
  They will try to find a way because you know not, I know
• 9:28
  y'all see some of my skits on my other channels and whatnot,
• 9:30
  right? Where a narcissist or broken
• 9:33
  homeless or whatever, OK, somebody unhoused and don't have
• 9:36
  much to offer. But that's not true for every
• 9:37
  narcissist. You got some rich, powerful,
• 9:39
  famous political narcissist ones in charge, ones that run huge
• 9:43
  social media accounts and things like that.
• 9:45
  We have that. That absolutely exists, right?
• 9:49
  So they have other ways, like they might end up alone, but
• 9:52
  they have ways of getting narcissistic supply through
• 9:55
  their finances, through their gifts, through their luxury
• 9:57
  lifestyles and things like that. And can they?
• 9:59
  You see a lot of these old ass narcissistic men walk around in
• 10:04
  their 80s with a 20 year old. I'm not saying I'm just saying
• 10:10
  it's weird. But that's the way the cookie
• 10:13
  crumbles sometimes. You know, that's the way it goes
• 10:14
  in this life and how things are, just how it's literally looking
• 10:19
  right now. But yeah, not every narcissist
• 10:21
  can self validate. And like for the ones they
• 10:23
  can't, I feel like if somebody does end up with them, if
• 10:27
  somebody does end up in their path or they, they become
• 10:29
  obsessed with somebody like these older, older narcissistic
• 10:33
  people, they can become obsessed with people.
• 10:36
  They can just lie to themselves that you are giving me supply.
• 10:39
  Like I can go out to the diner everyday and have a young
• 10:42
  waitress that smiles at me and I can get supply like that.
• 10:46
  Even though she's just smiling because it's her job.
• 10:48
  I take that as like she might be attracted to me.
• 10:50
  She might like me. You see how that is?
• 10:52
  You see, I'm lying to myself to get that narcissistic supply.
• 10:56
  So I think that the ones, some narcissists absolutely do end up
• 11:00
  alone, right? And some of them have the
• 11:03
  ability to self validate through their delusions, of course.
• 11:06
  Is that is that permanent? Can they do it forever?
• 11:09
  I'm not certain. But some of them absolutely have
• 11:11
  the ability to do that, whereas others I don't think they can.
• 11:16
  And if you're with a narcissist that it's impossible for them to
• 11:19
  self validate, they can become old bitter, evil ass people in
• 11:25
  the end. Old, bitter and evil, which is a
• 11:30
  rough combination. If you're if you're in the
• 11:31
  receiving end of that, I feel bad for you because they can
• 11:34
  become old bitter, nasty ass people.
• 11:37
  Y'all nasty, nasty people. The nastiest.
• 11:42
