- 0:01What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:03Today we're going to be talking about what is important to a
- 0:07narcissist, What's important to the narcissist in your life or
- 0:09past life or whatever. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:12Lee Hammock. I'm a self aware narcissist and
- 0:14welcome to another episode of the Narcissist Cover.
- 0:34Welcome back folks. Welcome back.
- 0:35Welcome back my beautiful folks. Yes, what on earth is important
- 0:40to that narcissistic toxic person in your life?
- 0:43Now I know what you're going to say lately.
- 0:45Hop directly into the video. Do not try to tell us about the
- 0:48support group. We don't care.
- 0:50Just don't try to tell us to join a support group.
- 0:52I don't care how much how helpful it is.
- 0:54I don't care how many other survivors that are in there
- 0:56getting help. We don't care.
- 0:58But if you do care right here. But seriously, narcissistic
- 1:03people, what's important a narcissist show.
- 1:04I say this all the time. No2 narcissists are alike.
- 1:07So some narcissists are going to value one thing while others
- 1:10value something differently, right?
- 1:12This is going to be true across the board.
- 1:14No2 narcissists are going to be the same.
- 1:18It just doesn't work that way. The mind of a lot of the mind of
- 1:21a narcissist, the mind of a types of person is going to it's
- 1:24it's a slippery slope. Yeah, it can be a very slippery
- 1:28slope in these situations, but I could say this for most
- 1:30narcissists. Most narcissists or toxic person
- 1:34are going to value their reputation above everything
- 1:38else. Like, I'm just going to keep it
- 1:39hot and ready like a Little Caesar's pizza for you right
- 1:42here. Most narcissists are going to
- 1:44absolutely value their value, their reputation above almost
- 1:50any damn thing. They they just are.
- 1:53Their reputation is important to them.
- 1:55It's Yeah. And this is not me trying to
- 1:57make it seem like you as a human being or not an important
- 2:00person. This is not me trying to make it
- 2:01seem like, well, you made me sound like they don't.
- 2:02I don't matter at all. I'm not saying that.
- 2:07Yeah, that is not me saying that.
- 2:09But I what I am saying is that most narcissistic people in
- 2:13these situations tend to just value direct.
- 2:15They like they want to be looked at.
- 2:17They want to be revered, right? They want people to look at them
- 2:21in a way that makes them feel good about themselves.
- 2:24Because how do narcissists get supply?
- 2:26How do they get validation? By having a good reputation A
- 2:29lot of times. Like if I have a good
- 2:31reputation, that means I look good in front of other people,
- 2:33right? As long as my reputation is
- 2:35good, I look good in front of other people.
- 2:38As long as this type of stuff is going on, I look good in front
- 2:40of other people, right? As long as I have these things
- 2:43going for me, as long as my reputation precedes me.
- 2:46Y'all heard that before your reputation precedes you, make
- 2:49sure it's worth following. Yeah.
- 2:51Value the narcissist, value the reputation.
- 2:53Because as long as I have a good reputation, I can get
- 2:56narcissistic supply. I can get validation from other
- 2:59people. I can get this, I can get that.
- 3:00That happens all the time. So as long as they can do this,
- 3:04as long as they can say that they are going to keep doing the
- 3:07same thing over and over again because why?
- 3:09Well, Lee, why don't you just treat people better?
- 3:11Yeah, they can. A lot of times they don't have
- 3:13to. Let's keep it real.
- 3:14Let's keep it real. A lot of times they don't have
- 3:16to treat people better to get to have a have a good reputation
- 3:19because not everybody knows what's going on.
- 3:22Not everybody knows their severity or what's going on.
- 3:25Like not everybody knows what like everything that's going on
- 3:29in their life right through what they went through,
- 4:12what they survived. There are a lot of different
- 4:15reasons why. And I understand that.
- 4:16It's not me trying to say, well, just your fault.
- 4:18No, I'm saying there are a lot of different reasons why you
- 4:21don't tell people what you're going through.
- 4:23A lot of people don't understand what you're going through.
- 4:24A lot of people end up blaming themselves.
- 4:26Some people just, you know, the narcissist is the the provider
- 4:28in the household. If you expose them, they get
- 4:30kicked out of the military or fired from their job or, you
- 4:32know, go to jail. How are you going to support the
- 4:35household? You see what I'm saying?
- 4:35There's so many different reasons why reputation is so
- 4:38important to narcissists. So they're going to protect it
- 4:40at all costs. They just will.
- 4:43So if I in in any situations right here, I want to see y'all
- 4:47win, you know, and that's why we're telling people like I want
- 4:49to see you win. So this one just let you know
- 4:52that their reputation is important.
- 4:53If you can ruin that reputation, if you can ruin a narcissist
- 4:57reputation, they could have like they might try to hurt you, like
- 5:00you have power over them. So if you can, if, if you can
- 5:04ruin their reputation, they look at you as you had, like you have
- 5:08the balance of power, like you might not think you do, but they
- 5:12look at you like you're powerful because you know who I am.
- 5:16You can ruin my life by telling people what I've done, by
- 5:20exposing what I've done. That's why they that's why they
- 5:23look at you in a certain type of way.
- 5:24That's why I try to keep you down.
- 5:25That's why I try to keep some type of control over you because
- 5:28they benefit from it at the at the end of the day, they can
- 5:31benefit from it. They're like, OK, I feel good
- 5:33about this. I feel good about that.
- 5:35I have this going for me. So they benefit from it in a
- 5:38unique way. So they they feel good.
- 5:40Like I said, they don't think I said in these spaces, they think
- 5:44that they're going to be fine. So that's why I just let
- 5:46everybody know like their reputation is absolutely
- 5:49extremely important to them. So I'll say this, I will say
- 5:52this as well, but another thing that's important to them is
- 5:55money is money. It just absolutely is.
- 6:00I know, I know people were like, but damn, Lee, I thought you
- 6:02were going to say the kids or the family.
- 6:04Kids are important to narcissists to a certain extent.
- 6:08Not every narcissist is going to care about their kids the same
- 6:10way. There are some narcissists who
- 6:12care about their kids 0% while there are others who only care
- 6:16about their kids. And they I said they only care
- 6:18about their kids because guess what?
- 6:20They see their kids as an extension, extension of
- 6:22themselves. Therefore, I see my kids as a
- 6:25way back up my reputation. You know what I'm saying?
- 6:28My kids, me being a good parent or given the illusion that I'm a
- 6:32good parent helps me, helps me, like, protect my reputation.
- 6:36So kids are on the list, but they just kind of mixed into the
- 6:39reputation tab. Well, it's like you on a
- 6:41computer. Like what tab or what tab are
- 6:44the kids under? Oh, reputation.
- 6:46What tab is the wife or the husband under?
- 6:48Reputation. You know what I'm saying?
- 6:50There it goes right there. But money is important.
- 6:52Yeah. Money money money give me money,
- 6:55give me that money. Money is important to
- 6:57narcissist. Y'all If you don't follow my if
- 7:01you don't follow my other channel, my Lee actions channel
- 7:04right here on YouTube. Check it out.
- 7:06I just did a reaction to a video where a woman a voicemail.
- 7:11I did a reaction to a voicemail where she was saying that her
- 7:14narcissistic partner baby daddy he's like makes probably makes
- 7:18over $100,000 a year but he had to pay $382.00 a month for child
- 7:22support. He's not really involved in the
- 7:24kids life but guess what happened when he got the three
- 7:26their first $382 deduction. Try to file for full custody
- 7:30because money is important. Seeing seeing this kid probably
- 7:33once a month once at like twice a month.
- 7:35But now you want full custody because $382 is important to
- 7:38him. You see what I'm saying?
- 7:40Do they really want custody? Probably not.
- 7:42But they think that they can scare you because they know you
- 7:45care about the kid. They know you care about the
- 7:47kid. So they feel like they can use
- 7:48the kid as leverage in this situation to control you.
- 7:51This is what happens. They use their kids as pawns.
- 7:54And I know it sounds evil because damn, here it is.
- 7:56It is evil. There's a lot of there's an evil
- 7:59taste in the mouth of a narcissist.
- 8:00A lot of times that's why I'm like, they use their kids as
- 8:03leverage. They want the, you know, the
- 8:05kids are extensions of the reputation, but money can be
- 8:08under the reputation tab as well.
- 8:09Money is important because money gets status, money gets control.
- 8:13You know, in a lot of different situations, money can get you
- 8:15access to power and fame and women and men or whatever money
- 8:19get money is important to a lot of narcissists.
- 8:22Not every single narcissist is getting y'all.
- 8:23And so not every narcissist is going to care about money
- 8:25because you have you have, I mean, they care about money, but
- 8:28not to the same extent. You're not going to be as as
- 8:30important to every narcissist to the same extent.
- 8:35So think about it from this perspective right here.
- 8:37A lot of narcissists, right, get into the mindset, get into the
- 8:42dynamic, get into the space where that you have the you have
- 8:46the broke bummy narcissist, right?
- 8:47You know, they don't have any, they don't have any money, they
- 8:51don't work, they don't care about working.
- 8:53They think you're going to take care of them, right?
- 8:55So their, their attachment to money, their relationship to
- 8:58money is going to be different. They just feel like their money
- 9:00is still important to them. They just feel like they're
- 9:02entitled to everybody else's. I don't have my own.
- 9:06I don't have my own money, but I feel like I'm entitled to yours,
- 9:09which is a crazy mindset to have regardless of what you think,
- 9:13you know, But money is absolutely important to
- 9:16narcissists. It just is.
- 9:18It really, really is, you know, money is because money can allow
- 9:21them to, you know, Chase. I think a lot of times, and this
- 9:26is just not for narcissists, a lot of times people associate
- 9:30money with success and success with happiness.
- 9:34So narcissists think the pursuit of money and a good reputation
- 9:37and these stuff are here. The things that are important to
- 9:39them, the pursuit of the things that are important to them are
- 9:41going to somehow make them happy.
- 9:44Like somehow it's going to make us happy internally, but it
- 9:46doesn't, you know? So when we get the money, when
- 9:49we get the success, when we get the fame, when we get the good
- 9:51reputation and we're still not happy, we lash out.
- 9:56When narcissists get everything that they're looking for in life
- 9:59and they're not happy, they lash out.
- 10:01It's frustrating. Let's keep it high, you know
- 10:04what I mean? I used to think that like having
- 10:06a, a good social media, a good social media following, like how
- 10:08if I, if I get popular on social media, I'll be happy, I'll be
- 10:11happier. It'll make, it'll fulfill my
- 10:13dream, you know, fulfill my destiny, right?
- 10:15But then, you know, four years later, because I've been doing
- 10:18social media, I've been doing social media full time on this
- 10:21thing like this for four years, right?
- 10:24So four years in, over 3 million people later, it changes up.
- 10:33Four people in 3,000,000 followers later, I'm still don't
- 10:36have that happiness and fulfillment.
- 10:38But I've been working on myself. Y'all know?
- 10:39I've been in therapy for six years.
- 10:40I've been 7 for seven years. So I've been working myself.
- 10:42I know how to, I know how to pivot, I know how to adjust.
- 10:45Not every narcissist can say the same thing.
- 10:47They don't know how to pivot, they don't know how to adjust.
- 10:49So they're get stuck in it. They pretty much get stuck in
- 10:51the mud and whatnot, You know, they pursue this, this, this,
- 10:55this stuff, the things that are they pursue the things that are
- 10:58important to them because they think the things, achieving
- 11:01these things will make them happy.
- 11:03You know what I mean? They think achieving these
- 11:04things will somehow make them happy or somehow fulfill their
- 11:09goals and dreams and things of that nature.
- 11:11That's what that that's where the mind of a narcissist goes
- 11:14right there, y'all. It really is it.
- 11:15That's what the mindset attaches to.
- 11:18So that's what I'm just trying to let you know.
- 11:20Like I'd be want y'all to win, Like I don't know, I don't know
- 11:23everybody else, but Lee hammock want you to win.
- 11:24Lee hammock will be rooting for you.
- 11:26But this is where the mind of this.
- 11:28What a lot of people get confused at right here is that
- 11:31you feel like because I didn't list their their wife or the
- 11:34husband on here, you feel like you're questioning your own
- 11:37worth. They the way like they're
- 11:41they're narcissist value system is just going to be different.
- 11:44I'm not saying that they don't care about you at all, but on a
- 11:47level of importance, if if caring about you and treating
- 11:50you well serves them in some way, then they're going to do
- 11:53that. It's important to them to look
- 11:55good. So to caring for you in public,
- 11:57doting on you in public, being nice to you in public, that's
- 12:00what I'm saying. It serves a purpose.
- 12:01Everything that's important to a narcissist serves a purpose for
- 12:04them. The job, the status, the money,
- 12:07the looks, my hair, my teeth, whatever it is, they feel like
- 12:10it has to serve a purpose for us.
- 12:14So that's the type, the type of space that a lot of us fall into
- 12:17right there. We are just trying, you know
- 12:20what I mean, out here, trying and trying to maintain our
- 12:22sanity, maintain our composure and just maintain a life in
- 12:26general because we like narcissists, like to be real,
- 12:28narcissists are absolutely struggling.
- 12:30We are struggling out here. And this is not me trying to get
- 12:32you to feel sorry for narcissists.
- 12:33There, Oh, Lee, there. I knew it.
- 12:35I knew sooner or later Lee was going to switch up on us and try
- 12:38to get us to feel sorry for him. We we had we, we were rooted for
- 12:43you Lee. We are all rooting for you.
- 12:46Y'all can still root for me. I'm still a good person.
- 12:48Y'all still out here working and being as nice as I possibly can
