Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're going to be answering the question, was any
- 0:05of it real with a narcissist? Or was it all fake from the
- 0:09beginning? Was it all a ploy to manipulate
- 0:12you, get into your life and break your heart?
- 0:14If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:16I'm a diagnosed narcissist and welcome to another episode of
- 0:18The Narcissist Go. Welcome back folks.
- 0:39Yes, yes, yes, narcissistic people.
- 0:42Y'all get hyped to my theme music.
- 0:44Don't worry, look, I'll just be bouncing in the background.
- 0:46Y'all don't even see it. But yes, that's one of the
- 0:48things, the main questions that I do get, y'all, was any of it
- 0:51real? You know, was was it all fake
- 0:54from the beginning? Was it a ploy?
- 0:56Help me leave, please tell us and I'm going to tell you right
- 1:00after I do a shameless plug for my kids book.
- 1:04Check out my kids book. Read it by myself and my wife,
- 1:07my wife and myself. I just said that backwards.
- 1:08Her name, her name is even first on it.
- 1:11Scott, remember it's not your fault.
- 1:12It's available on Amazon. It is a kids book to it is a
- 1:15conversation starter to have those some of those tough
- 1:17conversations with your kids about toxic relationship
- 1:19dynamics, telling them the truth, being honest, loving
- 1:22yourself, all the other good stuff.
- 1:23Y'all was available on Amazon. Scott, remember, it's not your
- 1:26fault. Yes, yeah.
- 1:27But narcissistic people, let's get into it.
- 1:31Toxic people. Like, was any of it real?
- 1:34And that's one of the things I, yeah, that's a question I get
- 1:36from so many people because I, I know at the, at the crux of
- 1:39everything, at the bottom line of every single thing, most
- 1:43people just want to know that they mattered.
- 1:47And I get it. I absolutely get it.
- 1:49Most people in these situations just want to know that they
- 1:52mattered to someone and that that all their time wasn't
- 1:56wasted with this person. And I, like I said, I completely
- 1:59understand that and I'm here to tell you that no, no.
- 2:04So some, like all, there are some narcissists out there who
- 2:08from the very beginning of the relationship, their intent is to
- 2:12be manipulative, dishonest, hurtful, all of the other stuff.
- 2:16Absolutely, yes, there's some narcissistic abusive people out
- 2:19there who have their hearts and minds set on just being damn
- 2:24near evil. People like those will be more
- 2:26along the lines of like your sociopaths, your psychopaths or
- 2:29whatever. Like not, not everybody's going
- 2:31to be the same in this situation.
- 2:32No, not even not all psychopaths or sociopaths are going to from
- 2:35the beginning. Just like you have something I
- 2:37want and I'm going to get it from you.
- 2:39No, not all of them are going to do that.
- 2:42Right? But are there some out there
- 2:44from the very beginning? It's just a ploy to get
- 2:46something from you. You know, you might have some
- 2:48money, you might be you might be an exceptional need beautiful
- 2:52person. You might, you know, have you,
- 2:54you might have connections that they need.
- 2:57Some people will absolutely use you for whatever you have.
- 3:00You know, so that is that can be true.
- 3:02There are some people out there who would absolutely use you.
- 3:05Let's be real. It could be fake from the
- 3:07beginning. Let's be honest, like just keep
- 3:09it Yeah, there. It could absolutely be fake from
- 3:11the very beginning with some of these abusive narcissistic
- 3:14people, right. But on the other hand of thing,
- 3:17there are some narcissists out there.
- 3:19And I was talking to there's another content creator named
- 3:22the Bat Wolf. He's he's a content creator.
- 3:25He's another self aware narcissist.
- 3:27I actually made-up with him when I was in Houston, TX a couple
- 3:28weeks ago. We had this conversation like to
- 3:31me, it's not always fake from the beginning.
- 3:34To me, if I find somebody that I really like that I really want
- 3:37to be with, I'm love bombing them because I want them to feel
- 3:40loved. I'm love bombing them because I
- 3:43want them to be, I want to be around them.
- 3:45I'm love bombing them because I want to be in their presence.
- 3:49This is why I'm love bombing them.
- 3:51Like I'm not love bombing them from just trying to be
- 3:53manipulative from the beginning. Like I'm going to manipulate
- 3:56you. You know what I mean?
- 3:56I'm not, that's not my goal right here is to be manipulative
- 3:59in that space. My goal is to love bomb you
- 4:02because that's all I know. You know, I want to, I want to
- 4:06get you to love me as I want to get you to love me as fast as
- 4:11humanly possible because it, for me, it's a benefit to having you
- 4:16love me because I get this, I get validation, I get this
- 4:19supply and I get you right. So from the beginning, I, my
- 4:23goal is to get you. My goal is to be enthralled.
- 4:27My goal is to because I feel good about myself.
- 4:30I want you to feel good about yourself.
- 4:32You see what I'm saying? Because I feel great about me
- 4:35and I feel great because you make me feel great.
- 4:38It's not just because I'm walking up every damn line.
- 4:39I'm feeling great about myself. No, being around you makes me
- 4:42feel great. I love this feeling that I get
- 4:45around you. So I want to reciprocate that.
- 4:47I want you to love the feeling that you get that you, the
- 4:50feeling that I get from being around you.
- 4:52I want you to get the same feeling for being around me.
- 4:55I've had to close my eyes and work the words out.
- 4:56Sometimes they'd be, they'd be jumbled up in my mind.
- 4:58They come out, they come out in my mouth.
- 5:00They come out jumbled up in my mouth.
- 5:03But this happens to so many people, right?
- 5:06It really, really, truly does happen.
- 5:08And I tell so many people, it's just like I just from the
- 5:12beginning, there are some nurses who really, I think really do
- 5:15care about you. And let me I keep have I have to
- 5:18get this I have to get this disclaimer every time.
- 5:22Just because I am making this video saying that some
- 5:24narcissists care and it is it could be real with some
- 5:27narcissists does not mean that you should give that person
- 5:30another chance. It absolutely does not mean
- 5:32like, well, Lee told me, no, Lee did not tell you to go back.
- 5:34Lee didn't say give another chance.
- 5:35Lee is just trying to help you get Lee is trying to help you
- 5:38understand and possibly get the closure that that narcissistic
- 5:41person didn't give you to make you feel like you didn't waste
- 5:44your time with this person. Sometimes like that back to the
- 5:48back to your regularly scheduled program.
- 5:51This is how it happens right here, y'all, There are so many
- 5:54narcissistic people out there that they want you to feel good
- 5:57because I feel good, you know, and we throw ourselves into the
- 5:59relationship like you see, scroll across the bottom of the
- 6:01screen is courses.mentalillness.net.
- 6:04You can find my course called Understanding the Seven Stages
- 6:07of a Narcissistic relationship where I go deeper into detail
- 6:10about that, right? I go deeper into detail about
- 6:13the love by me face. But narcissist wants you to want
- 6:15to make you feel good because you make us feel good, right?
- 6:18So we get down to the nitty gritty of it.
- 6:20Once the love bombing ends, I start questioning every single
- 6:25thing about you. That narcissistic person starts
- 6:28questioning every single thing about the relationship down
- 6:30there. Like is this real?
- 6:32Is this something that I actually want?
- 6:34You know, is this somebody I actually want to be with?
- 6:36You know, can it, is this going to work out?
- 6:39Like what is this situation going to be like?
- 6:41They start questioning themselves like is, you know, is
- 6:43there somebody they start questioning themselves?
- 6:45Like is there somebody out there that that fits me better?
- 6:50What's going on here? So some of them will absolutely
- 6:53start to ask themselves those questions.
- 6:55I started to ask those questions right there, like, is there
- 6:58somebody out there that fits me better?
- 6:59If there is, is there that? And because they start to ask
- 7:02themselves their questions. So guess what happens to them?
- 7:05They start falling out of love with you.
- 7:07They start disconnecting from you because now they're started
- 7:10questioning everything about you believe.
- 7:12Why did they do that? Because they saw your flaws.
- 7:15They saw that you were not perfect in the beginning.
- 7:16They looked at you as perfect. You're a perfect human being.
- 7:19But we all know perfection doesn't exist.
- 7:21Unless you are a believer and you believe in the the almighty,
- 7:24a perfect human doesn't exist. So you.
- 7:27Yeah. And I, what I mean by flaws is
- 7:29they just, you could have just said the word no to them.
- 7:31You set a boundary. No, you laughed.
- 7:34Weird. Whatever it is, you're not
- 7:35perfect. It's not.
- 7:38When I say flaws, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing When I say
- 7:42you are. When I say flaws, it doesn't
- 7:43mean that you are a bad person or something like that has
- 7:47happened along those lines, right?
- 7:49It just means that this person doesn't see you the same
- 7:52anymore. And once they Start Stop seeing
- 7:53you the same, they start treating you badly because now
- 7:56it's, it's not, it's never going to be the same.
- 7:58Like I see you differently. Like you're a different person
- 8:00to me because of what's going on.
- 8:03You're a different person to me because of how things are
- 8:06balanced out and whatnot. You're just a different person
- 8:08overall to me. And they hate it.
- 8:11They really do hate it, you know what I mean?
- 8:13They really, really do hate it. So then they started treating
- 8:15you differently. They started disconnecting from
- 8:16you and they start making you feel like you're worthless.
- 8:19So when they, when at first they started to make you feel like
- 8:22you were priceless, like you were in like you were priceless.
- 8:24They, they, they couldn't put a price on you.
- 8:26You were just in you just had so much value, so much worth.
- 8:29But now they stripped you of all your worth and all your value.
- 8:32Now you're feeling bad about the situation.
- 8:34Now you're questioning every single thing that comes next or
- 8:36whatever, whatever is going on in your space.
- 8:39Now everything becomes like you. You like, is this real?
- 8:41Was that real? Was then what can I do next?
- 8:42Like is saying what's going to go on?
- 8:44You're asking yourself all these questions and it's becoming more
- 8:47and more confusing towards you because that's what that's what
- 8:49ends up happening in these spaces.
- 8:51You know, they, like I said, so it wasn't real.
- 8:54Yeah, it was real in the beginning, but then it's still
- 8:56real now. Like they're, it's just their
- 8:58feelings have switched. It's like their feelings have
- 8:59switched off. But I don't think it's the
- 9:01feelings have switched off. When my love bombing ends, it's
- 9:04not like the feelings just completely turn off.
- 9:08We're trying to actively bury them like we're, it's kind of
- 9:12like being buried alive. Imagine being like, I'm not
- 9:14trying to be like trying to be bleak or grim, but imagine being
- 9:18buried alive. You're not just like and you
- 9:21like, imagine just standing in a hole while somebody's throwing
- 9:23dirt on you trying to bury you alive.
- 9:26Are you going to sit there and let them throw the dirt on you
- 9:27or you going to fight to stay alive?
- 9:29You're going to fight to stay alive.
- 9:30You're going to be crawling. You'll be crawling teeth tooth
- 9:32and nail to try to get out of that hole.
- 9:34That's what our emotions for you are trying to do.
- 9:36They're fighting to stay alive. So in or we we're trying to bury
- 9:40them by treating you badly. But the emotions that we have
- 9:42for you originally are fighting to stay alive, right as they
- 9:46fight to stay alive. We're battling that and we have
- 9:48we we are fighting in our own minds.
- 9:50Are we making the right decision treating this person like this?
- 9:53You know, do I just you know, are we making the right decision
- 9:55trying to find a new supplies? There's somebody out there.
- 9:58You know, I know originally I told myself that there that
- 10:00there was somebody out there that's better for me, but is
- 10:02that true? Is there anybody out there
- 10:03that's going to be better for me?
- 10:04You know, am I, am I going to be alone for us in my life if I
- 10:06leave this person? So This is why even though they
- 10:09might start to disconnect from you and treat you badly, This is
- 10:11why a lot of times they don't just outright leave you because
- 10:14they don't have anybody else right now.
- 10:15You know, some of them, if they have somebody else, they might
- 10:18outright leave you, some of them.
- 10:19But a lot of narcissistic people in this situation don't just
- 10:22outright leave you. They'll, they'll try to find
- 10:24somebody else, right? They'll before they leave,
- 10:27they'll try to secure a new supplier, new partner before
- 10:31they leave. You know what I mean?
- 10:32I know on your side of things, it was real for you.
- 10:34That's why I'm just telling y'all.
- 10:35Y'all didn't. Yeah.
- 10:36I feel like you didn't waste time regardless of how the
- 10:38relationship went. I don't think you wasted time in
- 10:40this relationship. And I was just like, I know
- 10:43people just in this situation because it's.
- 10:44Yeah. Or there's some creators out
- 10:46there who would just tell you straight up, none of it was
- 10:48real. It was all fake from the
- 10:49beginning. There's some creators that will
- 10:52say that, right? There are absolutely some that
- 10:55will say, hey, look, it was fake from the beginning.
- 10:57This happened, that happened. But I can't do that.
- 11:00You know what I mean? Because I believe, like I said,
- 11:02I've cared about people. You know, it might have went,
- 11:04went awry. It might went, it might have
- 11:06went, it might have went into a different direction.
- 11:09But it wasn't bad. You said it wasn't out.
- 11:12It wasn't fake. But for me, it's hard for me to
- 11:15tell a person who's been with somebody for 30 years just, hey,
- 11:17look, your whole relationship was fake.
- 11:19Get over it. Move on.
- 11:20He'll break the trauma pond. You wait.
- 11:23What if it was real and they just like they gave you
- 11:27everything that they could give you?
- 11:28You know, it doesn't just like reframing it doesn't change the
- 11:31physical facts. You know, reframing your
- 11:34situation, reframing your mindset doesn't mean that the
- 11:36situation changed. It happened, right?
- 11:39It's just changing your emotional connection to it,
- 11:41changing your emotional reaction to it.
- 11:43That's what reframing does. I didn't waste time.
- 11:46I spent time now I, I spent time learning how to not to be
- 11:49treated. You know what I'm saying?
- 11:51That's what like reframing the experience.
- 11:52Like you who, who created the light bulb.
- 11:54The time is Edison, Thomas Edison created the light bulb
- 11:58and they said he failed. Like I said, he he failed to
- 12:00make a light bulb 1000 times before he made it before he got
- 12:03it got it correct, right. He said, they said, how does it
- 12:06feel failing 1000 times before you got one right?
- 12:08Why'd you not give up? He's like, well, I didn't fail
- 12:111000 times. I I thought I've spent 1000
- 12:13times learning how not to make a light bulb.
- 12:15It should be one time to get it right.
- 12:17So in these spaces right here, you have to reframe.
- 12:19You try to reframe your experience.
- 12:20I know it's yeah, I'm not trying to minimize your abuse.
- 12:22I'm not trying to minimize or invalidate you.
- 12:24I promise you I'm not. I'm just trying to give you a
- 12:26different way of looking at things so that you can heal,
- 12:29that you can grow, and so that you can possibly experience the
- 12:32happiness that you absolutely do deserve, right?
- 12:35Because you do deserve it. Let's be real.
- 12:36You do deserve happiness. And but you have to believe that
- 12:39for yourself. Like that's something that you
- 12:41absolutely, you have to believe. You have to want that helps you
- 12:45moving forward. You know what I mean?
- 12:47Because like I said, I do believe a lot of it was real.
- 12:49It's like they gave what if they gave you all that they had?
- 12:52And I'm not trying to just like in I'm not trying to justify any
- 12:55type of abusive behaviors. It's like God, is that you?
- 12:58Is that God in the corner over there?
- 13:00Wait a minute. Well, I'm I'm I'm highly favored
- 13:11right now. So Oh, I feel it.
- 13:14I feel y'all feel that. Y'all feel that this that can't
- 13:17be a coincidence. It was as real as you wanted to
- 13:23be out. Let's keep it hot and ready.
- 13:24It's like you are literally worthy.
- 13:29You ain't. Yeah, you got.
- 13:30Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was.
- 13:31It got to be sick. It got horrible, it got bad.
- 13:34But when you get to that point, y'all that it just in your mind,
- 13:37that's who they're going to be. You gave it your all.
- 13:40It was real for you, you know, for them.
- 13:42They're trying to minimize and make it seem like they never
- 13:43cared about you because that's the only way that they can get
- 13:45over you is to just try to make you feel like you're a piece of
- 13:48shit is to try to make you feel like you're hurting.
- 13:50You're like you wasn't worthy of their love.
- 13:51That's why they treated you the way that they did.
- 13:53That's the only way they can reconcile in their mind that
- 13:55they are a horrible person. This is to say, you deserved it.
- 13:58You didn't deserve it. The abuse was on them.
- 14:02The healing is on you. You know what I'm saying?
- 14:04Yeah, Some of it. Yeah.
- 14:05It was real. It's as real as you want it to
- 14:07be. You didn't spend 30 years with
- 14:08somebody. You didn't spend 30 years.
- 14:10You didn't waste 30 years of your life.
- 14:12You sometimes reframe your experience.
