- 0:00What is going on, beautiful folks?
- 0:02Today we're going to be talking about how narcissists behave,
- 0:05how they act, how they react when you need them the most,
- 0:09when you need them to be there for you.
- 0:10How did they act? Do they show up?
- 0:13Did they disappear? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:15Lee Hammock. I'm a self aware narcissist and
- 0:17welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:37Bam. Welcome back, folks.
- 0:38Welcome back. Welcome back, welcome back.
- 0:40That's the question of the hour, the question of the year, the
- 0:42question of the century, isn't it?
- 0:44How did these pesky narcissistic people act When you need them
- 0:50the most? When you just need a a shoulder
- 0:52to cry on? When you need like I said, you
- 0:54need some money. When you need a place to stay,
- 0:57when you need a loan. When you need just something you
- 1:00need to just to talk to somebody when you need them the most.
- 1:03When you lost your a family member, a friend, a animal, a
- 1:07pet, whoever you lost, when you lost your sanity or you just
- 1:10want to vent, how do they act? What do you think?
- 1:14User involvement. Let's give the subscriber
- 1:17involvement today. How do you what do you think?
- 1:19What do you think that they do? How do you think a narcissist
- 1:22will react, will act when you need them the most?
- 1:27The original, the original title of this video was going to be
- 1:31why they abandon you when you need them the most.
- 1:34That was going to be the original title.
- 1:36But when I was about to say it out loud, I switched it up to
- 1:39how they act, how they react when you need them.
- 1:41That happens. It just does, y'all.
- 1:44It just, it's this space that so many people fall into.
- 1:47It's this space that so many creators and something that
- 1:49created so many people, so many victims and thrivers and
- 1:51survivors and narcissistic abuse fall into.
- 1:53Just like, hey, look, how do you think a narcissist is going to
- 1:57behave when you need them the most?
- 1:58How do you think they're going to act?
- 1:59Most of them are going to lose their gag, lose their damn minds
- 2:02y'all, and just abandoned you when you when you need them.
- 2:05They just are so not now. I said the reason I I changed it
- 2:08from abandoned because not all of them are going to abandon
- 2:11you. Not all of not all narcissists
- 2:12are going to abandon you when you need them the most.
- 2:15I'm not abandoning narcissists. I know a lot of narcissists that
- 2:18some of them will absolutely be there for you.
- 2:20But there's a caveat to it. I'm going to get to that later.
- 2:22But a lot of narcissists will absolutely dip on your ass when
- 2:26you need them. That's the way it goes, isn't
- 2:28it? They will absolutely peace out
- 2:31on you. They will absolutely dip out on
- 2:33you. They will absolutely just say
- 2:34goodbye, see you later, see you later, alligator when you need
- 2:38them the most. Like seriously, that's the way
- 2:42it goes. I feel like that's the mindset,
- 2:43that's the mentality. This is the space that so many
- 2:45people fall into. Like narcissistic people do
- 2:48that. Like they abandon you because
- 2:50look, they don't have a narcissist.
- 2:51I feel like have limited emotional capacity.
- 2:54See they, they don't have, we don't have a lot of room for
- 2:56other people's emotions. We don't have a lot of room for
- 2:59how other people are going to feel.
- 3:00We don't have a lot of room for how other people are going to
- 3:03react and treat us and do it and do this and do that.
- 3:05We don't have a lot of room for that type of stuff, right.
- 3:07So in these situations, we abandoned you, we disappeared.
- 3:09We shut the door. When you, when you're in there
- 3:11crying and boohoo crying or you need to shoulder the crown and
- 3:13the ear that you listen to, we dip on you.
- 3:16We, we don't want to deal with you.
- 3:17Your emotions in this situation, in this, in this space become an
- 3:21absolute inconvenience to us. They just are.
- 3:25I'm not saying you as a human being are an inconvenience.
- 3:28You, you, like you are not an inconvenience as a human being.
- 3:31But to a narcissist, in this moment, in this time, in this
- 3:34space, you might very well be y'all.
- 3:37You might become an inconvenience to them and how we
- 3:40feel and how we're like, how we're going about doing things.
- 3:43This might be the space that you're in.
- 3:45It really, really might be. So this is something you have to
- 3:48consider. This is something, this is the
- 3:49space that so many people might fall into, like you might fall
- 3:53into the space of dealing with an abusive narcissist where
- 3:55they're going to treat you like crap because they, like I said,
- 3:58they don't have the capacity to help you.
- 4:01They don't have the capacity to be there for you even if they
- 4:03wanted to. There might be a little voice in
- 4:05the narcissist's head saying, hey, look, Lee, your wife needs
- 4:09you right now. She's hurting.
- 4:10She just lost her her She just lost her mom Lee, yours kids
- 4:17need you. They just failed a test and they
- 4:19just feel like failures. They're crying, they're behoo
- 4:21crying. They didn't get they didn't get
- 4:23into the college they wanted to get into.
- 4:25You need to be there for them go be there for them.
- 4:28That voice is going on in my head, but then you know there's
- 4:30a louder voice that says hell no, We got our own problems.
- 4:33What about me? What about us?
- 4:35What about how we're feeling? What about how we how we're
- 4:37doing right here? What about this type of stuff
- 4:39going on right here? What about this?
- 4:40What about that? That's the space right there.
- 4:42Y'all, it really is. This is the space that so many
- 4:46people fall into. It really, really is.
- 4:48It's this this unique dynamic, this unique space, this unique,
- 4:52this like they don't want to be there for you because they, they
- 4:55the voice is louder. The narcissistic voice, the
- 4:57self-serving voice, the voice that is telling you that your
- 4:59partner's been an inconvenience to you.
- 5:01That voice is louder than the other voice.
- 5:05It just is. I'm just people like damn.
- 5:06But that's kind of crazy. Yeah, yeah, it can get crazy.
- 5:08It can't get wild. That voice is just being louder.
- 5:10It's being obnoxious. It's it's doing this.
- 5:13It's doing that. This is what happens, you know,
- 5:16so I share that. I share that with you to say
- 5:18this. So many people fall into these
- 5:20spaces, so many people fall into these doubt that these dynamics.
- 5:23So many people do this and do that.
- 5:25I promise you, this is what happens to so many people.
- 5:28You get into it, you fall into it or you, I understand you die,
- 5:31but like you fall into this space with this narcissist or
- 5:34this abusive person and you just can't depend on them to be there
- 5:36for you. It's like you have to depend on
- 5:37your support system. If you still have one, if you
- 5:40even if you haven't been completely isolated, you might
- 5:43very well have a small support system for you right there.
- 5:46You might very well have a few people that can be there for you
- 5:49because you haven't isolated yourself away from everybody.
- 5:51There might still be some people voice to listen to you or
- 5:54shoulder to cry on and whatnot. They still they still might
- 5:56exist for you right now, but a lot of they're not going to be
- 5:59there for you. Y'all understand that?
- 6:01I think a lot of people know that a lot of people get that
- 6:03they're not going to be there for you.
- 6:04They don't have the capacity to be there for you.
- 6:07They just don't like again, even if they wanted to, they just
- 6:10don't have that capacity and as people are like, well, damn, but
- 6:12that sucks. Yeah, it does suck, y'all.
- 6:14It sucks having this mindset like something might be
- 6:16something in my mind might be telling me I need something
- 6:21might be telling me that I need to be there for you, but I
- 6:25can't. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:27I still can't. Something in me is just like,
- 6:28Nope, you don't you, you need you need to keep moving on.
- 6:32You need to do something for yourself.
- 6:33What about me? The selfish, narcissistic part
- 6:35of me takes over, right? It just does.
- 6:38It takes over and it makes me makes me so.
- 6:40Destructive. It makes me not want to care
- 6:41about the person, makes me not want to be there for the person
- 6:43or with the person, right? This happens so.
- 6:46But again, there are some narcissists like I said in the
- 6:51beginning. Like I said in the beginning,
- 6:52give me one second. Oh, that's good.
- 6:58That's a good Diagon drill. Like I said in the beginning,
- 7:03there are some narcissists. They will absolutely be there
- 7:05for you. But there's always a catch,
- 7:07right? They will be there for you.
- 7:09They'll hug you, they'll be there.
- 7:11They'll do everything you need. They'll be at your beck and
- 7:13call. They'll be like, hey, you need
- 7:15some soup, You need some cheering up soup.
- 7:17You need your cheeks clap. What do you need?
- 7:19Here, I got you. But guess what they're doing?
- 7:22They're building up like it's like they're storing this for
- 7:25later on. They're going to use this later
- 7:28on to say, hey, look, you can't ever say I wasn't there for you.
- 7:33You can't ever say I've never been there for you because guess
- 7:36what? I look what I'm doing right now.
- 7:38I'm there for you right now, Artna.
- 7:40I'm here for you right now, Anna.
- 7:42So you can't say I'm never here with you.
- 7:46You can't say I've never been here with you.
- 7:48You can't say I've never been here for you.
- 7:50You can't say that because I'm going to.
- 7:53I can put on my hat. You remember.
- 7:55You remember the pet. You remember my dog died.
- 7:57I was there for you. You like damn is your dog too?
- 8:02But I wasn't the one crying, was I?
- 8:05You know, I wasn't the one crying, was I?
- 8:07You were the one crying. So you should be happy that I
- 8:10was there for you. I didn't have to be there for
- 8:11you, blah, blah, blah. Boo, Boo, Boo.
- 8:13They'll say that type of stuff right, right there.
- 8:15You mean this is what they'll do.
- 8:17This is what they'll do. They'll use this as leverage
- 8:20later on to get what they want from you.
- 8:23They use this as leverage later on to say what they want to to
- 8:27you. They use this as leverage that
- 8:28later on to get forgiven for something that they horrible.
- 8:32They use this as leverage later on to get forgiven for something
- 8:35horrible that they've done to you or that they've put you
- 8:37through. It's let it ends up being used
- 8:40against you later on. Like no good deed goes
- 8:42unpunished, right? No good deed goes unpunished.
- 8:47This is what happens, y'all? No good deed goes unpunished.
- 8:50They will use it against you. They will beg and plead.
- 8:53They'll just like see you ungrateful.
- 8:56If you hold them accountable for something later on, they'll just
- 8:59say you're ungrateful. You remember I was there for you
- 9:01when I, when I fished, when the goldfish jumped out, the our
- 9:04goldfish grew legs and ran away. I was there for you, wasn't I?
- 9:09Wasn't I? Wow, you forgot.
- 9:11It was so easy How we forget when I was there for you.
- 9:14You can't be here for me. You can't forgive me for one
- 9:17little cheat. You can't forgive me for getting
- 9:20pregnant by this other person. You can't forgive me for getting
- 9:22this other person pregnant. Wow, I see how it is.
- 9:27Wow, you must have never gave a damn about me, huh?
- 9:30You see how that works right there?
- 9:31That's the mentality. You see what I'm saying?
- 9:34That's the mentality that it really is.
- 9:40I'm just recovering. That's the mentality.
- 9:44They use that as leverage against you.
- 9:46Later on. They just say, hey, look, you
- 9:47cannot ever say I was not here for you because look at me.
- 9:50What am I doing right now? This is me actively being here
- 9:53for you, isn't it? I'm being here for you, Art, not
- 9:56I'm here. I'm active in your life.
- 9:58I they use it against you, So it's just like you have to kind
- 10:01of be careful about letting this person be there for you, which
- 10:04is dumb as hell. I know it's dumb.
- 10:07I know it sounds dumb. I know it's ignorant as as crap.
- 10:10Y'all, I know it's sorry, I know, I just know it is.
- 10:14I know it's what it gives you this space right there.
- 10:16Y'all it just it it really is. It falls into the dynamic.
- 10:21It falls into that category where you this type of stuff
- 10:25does start to happen. It does start to get ridiculous
- 10:28and you know, it can't wreck your life.
- 10:30It can't ruin your life and whatnot.
- 10:31I'm going to slip up and said came out, use a forbidden,
- 10:36forbidden word there. Y'all sorry and I'm not trying
- 10:39to disrespect anybody, but this is the space that so many people
