- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're talking about arguing with a narcissist and
- 0:05how you should watch this video before you the next time you
- 0:09decide to argue with a narcissist or when they try to
- 0:11pick a fight with you. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:13Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:15narcissist and welcome to another episode of The
- 0:17Narcissist Code. So welcome back, welcome back,
- 0:36welcome back folks. Yes, yes, yes.
- 0:38Before you argue with a narcissist, think about watch
- 0:42this video. Y'all think these are just some
- 0:44things that you need to think about before you even respond to
- 0:48a narcissist because you know, one thing you need to absolutely
- 0:51know about narcissists is because sometimes they just want
- 0:56to argue. There's no winning because they
- 1:00want to argue, they want to fuss, they want to fight.
- 1:02This is the goal. The goal is to argue, fuss and
- 1:05fight with you. That's literally it.
- 1:08It's literally the goal is to argue, fuss and fight with you.
- 1:14So I hope that I hope that y'all understand it right there
- 1:16because that's literally the goal.
- 1:19Like let's fuss and fight and argue because this it
- 1:23accomplishes a lot for them. Y'all do know that right?
- 1:26It accomplishes a lot for them like because they sometimes they
- 1:29can have a bad day at work and they can just come home.
- 1:32But just like, you know what, I want to argue.
- 1:35I need to blow off some steam. So let's meet.
- 1:37Let me start a fight over something minute.
- 1:40Let me pick a let me grab a fight out of thin air.
- 1:44Let me pick a fight with you. Let me try to get a reaction
- 1:46from you because that's all they want.
- 1:49They want to yell, scream, fuss and fight because it let's them
- 1:51know that they're in control or something that they have some
- 1:53control over their life. They do.
- 1:56They just we can fight with you because it proves to them that
- 1:58they are in control of something other than, you know, the, the
- 2:02the fact that they can breathe. You know, they go to work, get
- 2:05chastised by their boss. They go to the job they don't
- 2:07like, they get, you know, they got parents or whatever.
- 2:10They don't, they don't really talk to they don't, they don't
- 2:12like their friends. You know, they don't have a lot
- 2:14going on for them in life. So they don't have a lot of
- 2:16control over things. But guess what?
- 2:18They can control or they think they can control you, you.
- 2:22So sometimes they will pick a fight out of nowhere just to get
- 2:26a reaction from you because they like it.
- 2:30They love the reactions that you give them.
- 2:32It empowers them to do a lot of other stuff.
- 2:35Yeah, I'm just telling you. And the more you react, the more
- 2:37that they will keep arguing, the more energy it's kind of like
- 2:40you're throwing. You're throwing fuel, fuel on
- 2:43the fire when you fight back sometimes.
- 2:46Because ask yourself, like, ask yourself that question right
- 2:48there. Like, what's what's the goal
- 2:49here? What am I trying trying to
- 2:51achieve by going back and forth for this person?
- 2:54I know, Yeah, I know pride you have, you have pride.
- 2:57You have an ego as well. But ask yourself, is it worth
- 3:01going over top with this person? Because they want to drive, they
- 3:03want to pull it out of you. They want to pull the they want
- 3:07to pull the anger out of you because it empowers them, right?
- 3:11The anger empowers them to keep doing the same thing over and
- 3:14over again. It will like it will keep doing
- 3:17the same thing. They will keep doing the same
- 3:18thing over and over again because it empowers them.
- 3:20It allows them to feel some type of control.
- 3:22Sometimes it allows them to feel alive.
- 3:24I'm bored. I'm just, they know a lot of
- 3:27narcissists suffer from chronic boredom.
- 3:29So I'm bored. Let me start a fight.
- 3:32I'm upset. Let me start.
- 3:34You know, I'm bored. I lost control.
- 3:35I, I don't have what I want. I'm lonely, I'm sad.
- 3:38Let me start a fight. So they will argue with you on
- 3:41purpose. So that's something you need to
- 3:44think about before you argue with a narcissist.
- 3:46And another thing you need to think about is that like, yeah,
- 3:49they have they, you know, ask yourself, what have you shared
- 3:53with this person? Because they, there's no hope
- 3:56when you arguing with a narcissist, typically there are
- 3:59no holds barred. Anything that you share with
- 4:02them is the anything that you share with them is free game.
- 4:06All of your trauma, everything you've been through, anything
- 4:09your deepest darkest secrets will now be hurled at at will be
- 4:13hurled at you as an insult. They will they will bring up the
- 4:17deepest darkest stuff that you ever told her.
- 4:19Any type of trauma, any you know any type of trauma, any type of
- 4:24like dark times in your life, any secrets, any time you share,
- 4:28you know share the secret about your friend to them.
- 4:32They'll they'll, they'll tell a friend, they'll expose you to
- 4:34your friends or whatever you share it.
- 4:36You share sharing secrets or sharing information with them.
- 4:39They will do that nothing. No, there's no holes barred,
- 4:42y'all, They want to win at all costs.
- 4:45They want to win at all costs. You just ask yourself, you know,
- 4:48what's the goal here? What's the plan here?
- 4:50Because what have I shared with this person?
- 4:51Because there's no holds barred. They're going to use it against
- 4:54you. And sometimes they will use they
- 4:56will say the most horrible stuff to you.
- 4:57They will do the most horrible things to you and y'all will
- 5:00take them back. You'll take them back.
- 5:02You'll be back with them and, and just being realistic.
- 5:04And it's not me trying to call you a bad person or anything
- 5:06like that. They look at you as the enabler
- 5:09of their own of their behaviours.
- 5:10So it just incentivizes them to do it again.
- 5:13Oh, I can talk to you any type of way and you'll take me back.
- 5:18So why would they treat you better?
- 5:19You know, a lot of people are like, how do I make them treat
- 5:21me better? How do I, how do I make them
- 5:23treat me better? How do I get them to stop saying
- 5:25horrible things to me? When they say horrible things to
- 5:27to you, hold them accountable and don't go back to them.
- 5:30I know that's the simplest. It's me putting it.
- 5:33I know I made it sound like it's an easy thing to do and it's not
- 5:35always that easy, but it's something you should, you should
- 5:37consider. Absolutely.
- 5:39That's something you should absolutely consider because if
- 5:42you don't, they're just going to take advantage of you.
- 5:44They're going to take advantage of you right over top of you and
- 5:47just treat you horribly and just say mean things to you.
- 5:49So ask yourself before you argue with them, like what if I shared
- 5:52with this person and are they going to expose anything that
- 5:54I've shared with them? Because like you share things
- 5:56with your partner in confidence because you trust your partner
- 5:59originally. But once you realize you're
- 6:02dealing with a narcissist, you'll learn to keep stuff to
- 6:04yourself, like things that you can't like things that you want.
- 6:06If you want, if you don't want anybody else to know it, don't
- 6:09tell your narcissistic partner or ex or whoever your
- 6:12narcissistic friend. It could be a friend too, y'all,
- 6:14this could be a friend or a parent, Co worker, whoever it
- 6:17is, if you don't want other people to know, don't share with
- 6:20them because they're going to expose.
- 6:21They're going to expose the hell out of you.
- 6:23They will absolutely will, you know.
- 6:25So it just gets into that space right there.
- 6:27So if there's a question you have to ask yourself before you
- 6:29argue with them, like they're going to expose me, they're
- 6:32going to hurt my feelings, they're going to say the worst
- 6:34things to me. So consider that as well.
- 6:37And one more thing you should know about before you argue with
- 6:41a narcissist is that they have a game plan.
- 6:44Some of them come into the argument knowing what they're
- 6:47going to say to you already. It's all, it's pre planned.
- 6:50You know, it's a pre, it's a, it's, it's premeditated
- 6:53arguments. They already know what they're
- 6:55going to say. They already have a game plan of
- 6:58what they're going to say, how they want the argument to go.
- 7:01You know, how they want, what direction they want things to go
- 7:03in. They already have that plan laid
- 7:06out in plain sight for everybody.
- 7:09So they want you to do it not for everybody.
- 7:11They already have their plan laid out in their minds of what
- 7:13they're going to say to you. If you say this, I'm going to
- 7:16say that. If you say this, I'm going to
- 7:18say that they already have a game plan, a goal.
- 7:21They have a goal for the argument.
- 7:24They already have a goal. They already have it in their
- 7:26mind what they're trying to accomplish.
- 7:28When y'all are arguing and fussing and fighting.
- 7:31They already have it in their minds of what they're what
- 7:33they're trying to do. So that's something for you to
- 7:36consider right there before you act before you, you know, before
- 7:39you react to them, before you argue with them that they
- 7:42already have a plan of action. And y'all know y'all, you get a
- 7:45lot of y'all have dealt with the, the scheming narcissist,
- 7:48right? You've dealt with the
- 7:50narcissistic schemer. They already have a plan of
- 7:53action on how they want things to go.
- 7:54They already know what they're going to say to you.
- 7:56They already know what their goal of the argument is.
- 7:58You know, because the goal of an argument with a lot of
- 8:00narcissists is some of them want a reaction from you, right?
- 8:04They have a plan already in mind.
- 8:05It's like, OK, I'm going to start an argument.
- 8:07I'm going to they're going to say this, I'm going to say this
- 8:11and it's going to give me a reason to leave.
- 8:13It's going to give me an excuse to break up with them, an excuse
- 8:16to go out here and clap some other cheeks.
- 8:18It's going to be give me an excuse to leave the house, to
- 8:21turn my phone off in anger to go do what I want to do.
- 8:24Some of them are already plea, plea, pre planned arguments.
- 8:29They absolutely are. So like they will.
- 8:31Yeah, I'm telling you, when they're pulling things out of
- 8:33thin air, you know, when they're pulling this stuff out of thin
- 8:37air, ask yourself, what the hell did that come from?
- 8:39Why are you, Why are we, why are we fussing over this?
- 8:42It's not that serious. They will take something so
- 8:45small and so minute and blow it up into something huge because
- 8:48it's their plan of action. You know, they'll intentionally
- 8:51come home late. You, you have a plan.
- 8:53Like you have a plan, right? And he's like, hey, please don't
- 8:56be late tonight. Like tonight of all nights,
- 8:58please don't be late. We have to, we have to leave the
- 9:00house at this time right here. We have to get out of here.
- 9:03We have to get out of here at this time, right here.
- 9:05They will intentionally show up five minutes late or 10 minutes
- 9:08late on purpose to mess with you, to get a reaction from you
- 9:12so you can, you'll start a fussing fight with them and they
- 9:15have a plan of action so they can not have to go to that
- 9:17event. So they can not, they can go do
- 9:19what they want to do. They can stay home.
- 9:20They can refuse to leave the house.
- 9:22They already they do a lot of this stuff on purpose.
- 9:24So that's one thing you need to know is that a lot of this stuff
- 9:27that they do is on purpose. There's a reason behind a lot of
- 9:30the things that they do. It might not be a reason that
- 9:33you like, but it but it's a reason nonetheless.
- 9:36It might not be a reason that you understand, but it's a
- 9:39reason nonetheless that they're going to keep doing this type of
- 9:41stuff because at the end of the day, it benefits them to act
- 9:44like this. It benefits them to be like
- 9:46this. They enjoy, and some narcissists
- 9:49enjoy being narcissistic. I'm not saying there's some
- 9:51narcissistic people enjoy having a personality disorder, you
- 9:54know, but I'm just saying that some of them enjoy being
- 9:57detached and having a lack of empathy, you know, so it allows
- 10:00them to say and do mean ass things from you, you know,
- 10:04because a lot of times what they the reason behind their
- 10:06arguments is they want a reaction from you.
- 10:08They already have a a thought in mind to get a certain type of
- 10:11reaction from you. So when you react, they got you.
- 10:15And a lot of times they want to react, get you to react so they
- 10:17can put it to put you on camera so they can record you and then
- 10:20then they can damn near blackmail you for if you do
- 10:23something else like I don't don't forget.
- 10:24I get you on camera yelling and screaming at me, talking about
- 10:26my mom, talking about my dad. Don't you ever forget I got you
- 10:29because they will blackmail the hell out of you if you react on
- 10:32camera or if you send them mean text messages.
- 10:35You know of the you know say it if they send you mean text
- 10:39messages. So I hope this video bought
- 10:40y'all some clarity out. Hope it brought you some
- 10:42understanding as well into the mind of a a toxic narcissistic
- 10:45person. Not all narcissists are the same
- 10:48and just because you said something mean to your
- 10:50narcissistic partner or you bought something up from their
- 10:53past doesn't mean that you're a narcissist.
- 10:54Reactive abuse is a thing. Like I just ended what I said,
- 10:58when they try to get you to react, get you to react and you
- 11:00say something to them out the way they want that they want
- 11:03reactive abuse. They want you to react to the
- 11:05stuff they're saying and they want you to say mean things to
- 11:08them so they can record you or they can have an excuse to
- 11:10behave a certain type of way. They can have an excuse to
- 11:14excuse, excuse to act a certain type of way towards you.
