Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, Beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're talking about how do narcissists get their supply?
- 0:07If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:09I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:11another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:30So welcome back, folks. Welcome back, Welcome back.
- 0:32Yes, yes, yes. How do narcissistic people get
- 0:37their supply? I know a lot of people see the
- 0:40word narcissistic supply. That's everywhere.
- 0:43It's probably one of the most searched terms, one of the most
- 0:46sought after terms in the like in the world of narcissistic
- 0:50abuse, toxic abuse, narcissism or whatever.
- 0:52So if you don't know what narcissistic supply is it, it
- 0:55really is just validation. It's a narcissistic person's
- 0:59need for validation, for their need to matter and whatnot is
- 1:03their need to damn near be alive.
- 1:06It keeps, it keeps narcissistic people alive.
- 1:08It's like a battery. It's like a a energy source
- 1:11pretty much for narcissistic people.
- 1:13Now the way it's funny to me but not to somebody.
- 1:17It's funny to me but not to other narcissists that that see
- 1:20it. But the way a lot of people talk
- 1:21about narcissists, they make it seem like narcissists are like
- 1:24vampires feeding on the necks of empaths.
- 1:27You know because people they typing about comment section,
- 1:30they'll be like narcissists have to feed.
- 1:32They get supply like they're, you know, like they're like a a
- 1:36fruit bat or a bat or something like that, just lapping up the
- 1:40the supply blood of a narcissist, of a of an empath or
- 1:43somebody around them. But to me, that's funny how
- 1:47people talk about it, but, you know, I can see how other people
- 1:50would take it as as disrespectful and whatnot, but
- 1:53how do they get that? How do they get that validation?
- 1:57How do they get that? How do they get it?
- 1:59Where does it come from? And whatnot.
- 2:01So it really, it really just depends to me, just to me, as a
- 2:05diagnosed nurses, there are different forms of supply.
- 2:09There are. I mean supply could be
- 2:14recognition, Supply could be fame, it could be supply could
- 2:18be infamy. Supply doesn't have to be good
- 2:20stuff, it could be bad stuff too.
- 2:21Y'all, as long as a narcissistic person feels like they matter
- 2:25and they're leaving some type, some type of legacy around.
- 2:27Supply could be some bad stuff. Supply could be infamy.
- 2:30Supply. Supply could be committing a
- 2:32crime. Supply could be financial.
- 2:34Supply could be getting validation for how they look.
- 2:37Supply could be, you know, just having somebody around.
- 2:39Just proof that I'm proof that I matter by having kids that you
- 2:43can. The kids can be supplied, the
- 2:45job can be supplied. I know people typically refer to
- 2:49supply as being a person, but it doesn't have to be a person, you
- 2:51know? It can be.
- 2:52The new supply could be a job. The new supply could be a hobby.
- 2:55The new supply could be, you know, a career choice or
- 3:00something along those lines. It doesn't necessarily have to
- 3:03be a person, but how do they go about doing it?
- 3:06Some narcissists get supply through, You know, some
- 3:10narcissists get their supply by being mean.
- 3:15You mean sometimes they take it, they take the supply, They don't
- 3:19earn it. They take it.
- 3:21You know when I said earlier some narcissistic people get
- 3:24their supply through bad deeds, through, you know, criminalistic
- 3:28behaviors, through acting up, through being bad people,
- 3:33through scamming, through being a con artist and things of that
- 3:37nature. If y'all you know this, not this
- 3:40channel, is not to get political.
- 3:42But there are a whole bunch of political narcissists around
- 3:44like politicians that are narcissistic people.
- 3:49You you see them popping up when they get committed or they get
- 3:51convicted of crimes when they get impeached or they get not
- 3:54impeached, but when they get, what do you call it indicted and
- 3:59things like that. Like, you see your boy Menendez,
- 4:03the Democrat dude, and then you just see Santos, the Republican
- 4:06dude, like Santos boy. But you see he get his Santos
- 4:12guy, his supply from just being on TV.
- 4:14He definitely was lying. He knew he was lying.
- 4:16He knew he knew he was lying to the world.
- 4:18That's why he had that little sly smile on his face.
- 4:21Anytime he'd be on TV, he's like, well, I lied and I got
- 4:23hurt. So what are you going to do
- 4:24about it? I'm not.
- 4:25I'm not resigning. So it's right there.
- 4:27If it's not, they get political, Don't hop in the conversation
- 4:29and being like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 4:31The Democrats, the public, this is not, they get political.
- 4:34This is just to show you an example of it, how some people
- 4:36can use bad things to get supply.
- 4:39The dude getting gold bars from Egypt or whatever, allegedly.
- 4:42And then you got other good over here just lying his ass off on
- 4:45his resume and lying about achievements and accomplishments
- 4:48to get to plot, to smile on TV, to be in the notoriety.
- 4:52You know when you see people say there's no such no such thing as
- 4:57bad press, Any attention is good attention.
- 5:01That's narcissist. They talk about narcissistic
- 5:02people because like if you're getting bad attention and you
- 5:04like it, you crave it. That's narcissism.
- 5:07That's narcissistic right there, especially if it's a person.
- 5:09A company is different. There can be, there can be
- 5:11company narcissism around, but but people are going to be
- 5:14different in that space right there.
- 5:16You know, because like you get a a person like that who goes
- 5:19after infamy regardless through any means necessary.
- 5:22You get people who commit these mass, you know, unallivings that
- 5:27want to live in infamy, they want their name to be
- 5:30remembered. You know, they go do something
- 5:32to at a school and they because they want to be remembered and
- 5:35things like that, that's supply for them.
- 5:36That's weird, that type of toxic dynamic, but that's supply.
- 5:40They get it through by taking it.
- 5:43They get supply through force, you know, they force it.
- 5:47So supply can be through force, You know, they really absolutely
- 5:52can take their supply through forcing it, through stealing,
- 5:54through, through manipulation, through, you know, being
- 5:57conniving, being gaslighting, manipulating, lying.
- 6:01You know they get supplied through love bombing you and
- 6:04tricking you. Some narcissistic people don't
- 6:06do good things to get supply out.
- 6:08They can do bad things. They can lie and manipulate
- 6:10their way to the top and then become, you know, the whole time
- 6:15they're getting supply, even if they get in trouble for you
- 6:17know, the trouble sometimes is, is the supply.
- 6:20You see, thank you. Whatever supply they're after,
- 6:23fame, infamy, money, whatever it is, love, whatever it is,
- 6:28emotional connection, legacy, legacy supply, whatever it is,
- 6:32they can get it. They can get that through bad
- 6:33deeds as well. Y'all.
- 6:34They don't have to be good. They don't have to go through
- 6:36good deeds to do that type of stuff.
- 6:38But on the other side of things, some narcissists get their
- 6:40supply through doing good stuff, through good doing, through
- 6:45doing good deeds, through just being conventionally attractive.
- 6:49You know, you can be, sometimes you don't even have to work hard
- 6:51to get supply. You can just be conventionally
- 6:53attractive. You can be just be, you know
- 6:55what? You can just be have a nice
- 6:58body, have a nice face. You know, whatever it is.
- 7:02You can get supply through being attractive people.
- 7:05Oh, you look so you're so you're so beautiful look at you, you
- 7:08know, that's supply, you know, that's narcissistic supply right
- 7:12there. That's validation.
- 7:14You see people can give you money for looking good, you know
- 7:17in the in that space right there.
- 7:18So you like you can get a financial supply and adoration,
- 7:22the adoration supply right there in that space just from being
- 7:25born a certain type, being born with a certain type of look.
- 7:27They you didn't have to work, you didn't have to work hard to
- 7:30get your genetics maybe on a cellular level.
- 7:33You had to work hard to get your genetic code like the way it is
- 7:36to look good. But you didn't have to work hard
- 7:38as an adult a lot of times. I mean I know eating right and
- 7:41working hard, working out is not easy to do.
- 7:43So I understand that space. But yeah, other you were born
- 7:46with this look you know what I mean With the genetics you have.
- 7:48You know you don't have to work hard to get that.
- 7:50You know, some people get supply through being charismatic,
- 7:56through being funny, you know, and I say when I say charismatic
- 8:00and funny, people automatically think it's just like, oh, that's
- 8:03good, a good form of supply. No being charismatic and funny.
- 8:05You can poke fun at people. You can juggle on people, You
- 8:07can make other people laugh at some another person person's
- 8:11expense and that's bad to that person.
- 8:13But you're still getting supply from that.
- 8:15You know, you can be charismatic and funny in a good way and
- 8:17still get supply, but sometimes you can be charismatic, funny
- 8:21and and evil, you know, and still get supply from that.
- 8:25That that's just the way it works sometimes.
- 8:27A lot of times in these spaces, like there's no, there's no end
- 8:33or just one way that narcissists, narcissists get
- 8:36supply out. It can be supplied in different
- 8:38forms, in different formats and things of that nature.
- 8:41So you just got to be wary and be on the lookout for the type
- 8:44of stuff because they will go through any means possible to
- 8:46get their supply. You know, like I said, they they
- 8:48they just do all this type of stuff like that.
- 8:50Like sometimes they can just be charming to get supply, just be
- 8:54charming, just be being nice. Y'all can get supply.
- 8:57Oh, you're such a nice person. You have so you so well
- 8:59mattered. You have such good manners.
- 9:01That's getting supplied. That's getting validation.
- 9:04If you consistently doing that, you know, it's just different
- 9:07ways to go about doing it. Like you can get, you can get
- 9:10supply through just having money.
- 9:12Yeah, some people don't have to work hard to get money again.
- 9:14Sometimes you get you get bored with what they call it a silver
- 9:18or gold or platinum spoon in your mouth.
- 9:20So you didn't have to work hard to get money.
- 9:22So you already got money. You just use your money to get
- 9:25supply. And sometimes again y'all you
- 9:27can do that in a bad way. You can use your money to get
- 9:29people hurt. You use your money.
- 9:31You use your money to get to control people.
- 9:34You can use your your, your position of power to control
- 9:37people, which is because you have money.
- 9:39Sometimes you do have to work for you know, that happens right
- 9:43there all the time. Like control is a form of supply
- 9:47as well. So if you are that, you know you
- 9:49can get supply through being the head of a company, through being
- 9:52the head of a household. This is it doesn't have to be
- 9:53head of a company to get that control supply, You'd be just
- 9:56head of a household. You can just control your your
- 10:00family members, your family dynamic, you can control them
- 10:02going in and outside the house, you can control them doing that
- 10:04type of stuff right there. It that's control as well.
- 10:08That's a controlling form of supply too.
- 10:09Y'all so that it goes. It kind of crosses that line
- 10:12into that space right there, where that's a form of supply
- 10:16too. So narcissistic people there,
- 10:19it's it's unlimited ways to get supply.
- 10:22But if you think about it, supply is validation.
- 10:25And I'll end the video with this right here in order to get a
- 10:28narcissistic person to leave you alone a lot of the time it
- 10:31doesn't work all the time. Figure out what type of supply
- 10:36that they are getting from you and cut that off.
- 10:40I might do a longer video about this.
- 10:41You made it this far. You want me to do a longer video
- 10:43on cutting off the supply? Just put a little hand raised
- 10:47emoji in or just do a hand in the comment section.
- 10:50Let me know if you want me to do a longer video.
- 10:52But yeah, because they, like I said, just cut whatever supply
- 10:55that they're getting from you, be it adoration, be it control,
- 10:58financial, whatever it is, whatever form of supply that
- 11:01they're getting from you, figure out a way to cut that off or
- 11:04remove that. And that can help you
- 11:06breakthrough that space right there.
- 11:07You know, they can help you get through that dynamic right
- 11:09there. They can help you get this
- 11:10person possibly to leave you alone.
- 11:12Like I said, it's not a guarantee.
- 11:15It's not a guarantee, but but it's possible.
