- 0:07better known as mental illness across all social media
- 0:09platforms. This is the first time to see my
- 0:11face. You're hearing my lovely voice.
- 0:12I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and it's my platform
- 0:15on social media to raise warnings for NPD.
- 0:18Get more people into therapy like myself.
- 0:19Five years wrong. Six years wrong.

- 0:29Why do you miss the narcissist? Why do you miss the toxic
- 0:33person? Even if they treated you so
- 0:35badly, why can't you get this person out of your mind?
- 0:40So before you hop into today's episode, y'all make sure that
- 0:42you check out the self love brand.

- 0:58because my kids book is getting released next week.
- 1:01Remember, it's not your fault. So yes y'all.
- 1:05So yeah why do you miss the narcissist?
- 1:09Because y'all, it's okay. First of all, let me say this,
- 1:12it's okay to miss the narcissistic person, toxic
- 1:14person that you were with. It is absolutely understandable.
- 1:18It is absolutely okay to miss the person.
- 1:20And it is not okay to take the person back into your life,
- 1:24especially if they've been treating you horribly and they
- 1:25haven't gotten better or they haven't put any type of effort
- 1:28or work in to be better. That's not okay.
- 1:31Let's get that. Let's get that out the way right
- 1:33there. But it's okay to miss the
- 1:37person. But just like think about it
- 1:38this way. Y'all, you spent X amount of
- 1:42time with this person, right? Like you spent the considerable,
- 1:45like it might not be considerable, but you spent a
- 1:48part of your life with this person.
- 1:49You shared a part of your your life, your story with this
- 1:53person. They shared their life, their
- 1:55story with you, most of it. Because some of that story be a
- 1:57lie possibly, but they shared it with you.
- 2:00There was time together and I feel like the longer you with
- 2:02the narcissist person, the more apt you are to miss them.
- 2:05Because like think about it. Like think about it like this
- 2:07job it. From what I the research I've
- 2:10done in a while back, it takes 20, about 28 days to build the
- 2:14habit right or to break a habit. So if you have talked to
- 2:18somebody for 28 straight days, every single day or most of the
- 2:22time during that during that span, you understandably they
- 2:25become a habit. The narcissistic person becomes
- 2:27damn near a habit in your life is in habits.
- 2:30Take at least 28 more, 28 more days to break.
- 2:33So the longer you keep this habit, the longer you are used
- 2:36to doing this, the more likely you are to stay in it.
- 2:39You see what I'm saying? Somebody I talked to a person
- 2:41other days like, I want this. It was a five month
- 2:43relationship. Why did I miss the person I
- 2:44like? Because five months doesn't seem
- 2:46like a long time. But it's at least 150 days.
- 2:50It's at least 150 days of consistently talking to this
- 2:53person, sharing your dreams with this person.
- 2:55Like planning their future with this person.
- 2:57It's 150 days of consistency at least a lot of times in in a lot
- 3:01of times in these spaces and within these dynamics, there's
- 3:04consistency, there's space there.
- 3:06So it makes sense. Stop beating yourself up,
- 3:08missing the person that you spent 150 days with, 300 days
- 3:11with, 3000 days with you. Start getting to the 19910 year
- 3:16range, 3000 days. What kind of habit?
- 3:20If you do anything straight, if you do anything for 3000 days
- 3:23straight, wouldn't it be hard to kick that?
- 3:25Would it be hard to get rid of that?
- 3:27Wouldn't it be hard to get used to not being not doing that?
- 3:30You said 3000 straight days with some person, with somebody you
- 3:35know. I mean if you get to 20 years,
- 3:36that's 20 years, 7000 to 7200 days. 20 years is 7200 days.
- 3:45Y'all it's This is why you missed a person. 2020 years is
- 3:50772 hundred y'all. I've talked to people who've
- 3:54been with them for 40 years, 14,000 days of this person.
- 3:59So yes, it makes sense that you miss the person.
- 4:01Y'all stop beating yourself up for missing somebody that you
- 4:04spent the considerable amount of time with.
- 4:06And again, I know 20-30 forty years is a long time.
- 4:09But again, it also makes sense if it wasn't that long, you see
- 4:12what I'm saying? It also makes sense if it wasn't
- 4:15necessarily that long in this space, you know what I mean?
- 4:19So that's what I say. It's okay to miss the person yo
- 4:21the a person that you spent X amount of time with no matter
- 4:24what they did to you could could those 153,006 thousand 10,000
- 4:31days. Could there have been some bad,
- 4:33horrible times with mixed in? Today, yes, absolutely yes.
- 4:37But that doesn't mean you're going to miss the person any
- 4:38less. The good times and the bad times
- 4:41of going up and down consistently within a toxic
- 4:44relationship space make it you can mess with your mind y'all
- 4:48the longer. Like I said, the more up and
- 4:49down you do in these spaces, the faster you move.
- 4:52The more the more you get addicted to this person, the
- 4:55more it makes sense for you not to go anywhere.
- 4:59The more it makes sense for you to actually stay within the
- 5:01toxic relationship dynamic and you do miss the person.
- 5:04If you miss the person enough, sometimes you go back into the
- 5:07sometimes if you miss the person enough, you'll go back into
- 5:09toxicity. You may.
- 5:11Because the pain of the pain of missing with this person and not
- 5:14being with this person, it hurts so bad it sucks.
- 5:17You mean it's unimaginable pain that you feel when you're
- 5:21dealing with when you're missing this person.
- 5:22You to consistently thinking about this person when you
- 5:24cannot get this person out of your mind.
- 5:26The pain of missing this person that you share their life with,
- 5:29especially if you have kids or you have property or you have
- 5:32money still tied up with this person that you have to think
- 5:34about this person. Yeah, the more time you the more
- 5:37you get used to this person, the more addicted, the more things
- 5:41that are going to remind you of them.
- 5:44They're going to be things around you all the time that's
- 5:47around you that trigger a memory of this person and that's also
- 5:51going to suck. You going to have things that
- 5:54were it smells just like them. I miss them so much.
- 5:58It yeah, it happens so much. Do not beat yourself up over
- 6:02missing somebody that you just like.
- 6:04Don't beat yourself up missing somebody that you just that you
- 6:06spend to consider around the time with.
- 6:07Y'all. It makes sense that you miss the
- 6:09person. Another reason you miss the
- 6:10person because you should not only the If you have, you spend
- 6:12time with this person. You shared dreams with this
- 6:15person. This is the person that you
- 6:18conveyed your deepest, darkest secrets to your your your
- 6:21happiest moments. You might you might have shared
- 6:23some of your happiest moments with this person like y'all.
- 6:26It makes sense, doesn't it? It absolutely makes sense in a
- 6:32lot of these spaces to deal with when you're dealing with a
- 6:34narcissistic person to go back to to not necessarily go back to
- 6:37them, but to miss them. You like say y'all had like me
- 6:42and my wife, Tropic Thunder. That was.
- 6:44That was when we first met. There was a movie that helped us
- 6:46connect. You know what I mean?
- 6:48We're a unit. Kurt.
- 6:49Suck my unit. You ain't.
- 6:51He ain't playing God. What do you say He ain't playing
- 6:57God. He's been judged by.
- 6:59We've got we made jokes about Tropic Thunder so much, so much
- 7:02so that if we broke up or something like that and she
- 7:06watched Tropic Thunder or Robert Downey Junior or somebody Ben
- 7:09Stiller or somebody popped up that will remind her of me,
- 7:12things are going to pop up. Yeah, we sure you know we sure
- 7:15so many you sure so many moments of this person.
- 7:18You have inside jokes like an inside joke and you want to text
- 7:21this person to call them because they would only they would get
- 7:24it. Only they would get it.
- 7:26Even though they were toxic as hell and maybe cheated on you,
- 7:29treated you horribly. Maybe they only the only person
- 7:32who would get this joke is them. You see what I'm saying?
- 7:35But you see how that makes sense.
- 7:37Stop beating yourself up because like you stop beating yourself
- 7:40up in these spaces because the narcissistic person did this.
- 7:43So the narcissistic person said that it makes sense.
- 7:46Y'all that you missed the person.
- 7:48It just does. They they they it's like they
- 7:50plant. They planted a seed within your
- 7:52mind and they they've been watering it for X amount of
- 7:55time. And that seed sometimes the
- 7:57seeds are weeds. It's not necessarily a plant.
- 7:59Plant seeds and weed seeds can look very similar.
- 8:02They planted they, they might have plant planted a little
- 8:04garden in your mind. So it makes absolute sense.
- 8:08Yeah. It brings a lot of clarity to
- 8:10the point that you might actually miss this person.
- 8:12It's it's okay to miss somebody that might have treated you bad.
- 8:16Don't beat yourself up over the fact that you miss somebody.
- 8:18I know people just like, why do I miss them so much And y'all
- 8:20get mad at yourself. You get mad at yourself for
- 8:23missing somebody that treated you badly.
- 8:25It's understandable because they didn't always treat you badly,
- 8:28didn't they? I guarantee you if it, like I
- 8:31said in this space right here, I guarantee you, I can almost
- 8:34guarantee you almost like they put 100% stamp.
- 8:37But I can almost guarantee you that all of the relationships
- 8:40didn't start off in a horrible manner.
- 8:42You know what I'm saying? Your relationship didn't start
- 8:44off in a traumatic fashion when y'all ended up together.
- 8:47Something like that. You know what I mean?
- 8:48There were good times too. Why do you miss the narcissist?
- 8:52Because you missed the good times, You missed their their
- 8:55aroma. You missed their Musk.
- 8:57Whatever scent that they get up. You miss the pheromones, You
- 8:59miss the whatever they whatever scent that they give out the
- 9:02Cologne. You miss the perfume.
- 9:03You miss that. It makes sense.
- 9:05Y'all sorry. If you have kids or something
- 9:09together. You might miss having the whole
- 9:11family together. You have a business together.
- 9:14You might miss your business partner.
- 9:15If you have a YouTube channel or something together, you might
- 9:18miss that. Doing that stuff with that
- 9:19person. Y'all it's understandable.
- 9:21That's why you miss them. Why wouldn't you miss them?
- 9:25Why wouldn't you? But just because you missed
- 9:28them, does it mean that you have to go back to them?
- 9:30Just because you missed them doesn't mean that you have to
- 9:32allow them any type of access to your life.
- 9:34Just because you missed them does not mean they get to come
- 9:37back into your life and treat you any type of way.
- 9:39Just because you missed them does not mean that you break no
- 9:41contact and go back to them. Just because you missed them
- 9:44does not mean that you answer their phone calls or respond to
- 9:47an e-mail. Just because you missed them
- 9:48does not mean you you drop your life, change your lifestyle up
- 9:51for them, their lifestyle that you built without them, and go
- 9:53back to them just because you missed them.
- 9:57It's understandable that you do miss them, but don't let missing
- 10:00them take you down a pathway of being hurt and used and abused
- 10:04and just treated horribly. Again, they probably have not
- 10:08gotten better. Chances are, but the chances are
- 10:11leaning in, the leaning in the direction that they probably
- 10:14have gotten worse over time without you being around.
- 10:17They probably have gotten significantly worse.
- 10:21So you have to empower yourself on this journey.
- 10:22You have to understand, like forgive yourself for missing
- 10:24somebody. I just feel so bad for missing
- 10:26them. Don't.
- 10:29It's okay. It really, really is.
- 10:32Why do why don't you miss them? You see what I'm saying?
- 10:35You don't. You miss the good parts of them,
- 10:37but don't let missing them. The good parts outweigh the bad
- 10:40parts of why you're not with them anymore.
- 10:42Apply more weight to not being with them than you do to the
- 10:45part. The fact that you missed them
- 10:47and you missed the good times. Y'all many ways y'all let me
