- 0:00So is it love bombing from a narcissist?
- 0:02Or is it real love, Real, genuine, authentic love?
- 0:06If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:08I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:11another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:30So is it love bombing or is it real love?
- 0:35Is it authentic? Is is this genuine?
- 0:38What is it? Y'all?
- 0:39Is it what y'all? Love bombing and real love are
- 0:43two separate things. Love bombing can feel and look
- 0:46like real love. It.
- 0:47It's it's like a a good substitute.
- 0:51You know what? You see what I'm saying?
- 0:52It's just like if love is sugar, if real love.
- 0:56If real authentic love is sugar, then love bombing is splendor.
- 1:04They look the same. They might even taste the same.
- 1:07But at A at a cellular molecular level, they're different, you
- 1:12know they look the same. It's a good substitute.
- 1:14It could be a good substitute. Sometimes it feel the same, you
- 1:18know what I mean? But later on the effects take
- 1:20don't take on different paths, you know.
- 1:23It is how it goes. Love bombing is sugar.
- 1:25I mean, love. Love is sugar.
- 1:27Love bombing is splendor, you know, you see what I'm saying?
- 1:30But that's how it goes though, you know?
- 1:32So some of the main differences between the two y'all is that
- 1:37love bombing, that that real genuine love takes time.
- 1:44It really, really does. Real, genuine, authentic love
- 1:48takes time is one of those things that that it is really
- 1:52real. Like love vomit is quick, fast.
- 1:55It's meant love vomit is meant to ensnare somebody really
- 1:59quickly. It is meant, it's meant it's
- 2:01like literally y'all listen to it.
- 2:02It's a bomb. It's a bomb it once it explodes,
- 2:06it goes everywhere. Love bombing is just piling on
- 2:10things to get somebody to fall for them.
- 2:13It's a manipulation tactic. It's to get you to fall for
- 2:16them, to fall head over heels for them.
- 2:18Because a lot of times, to be realistic, a lot of narcissists
- 2:23think that they really do love you.
- 2:24They're they're expressing themselves as if they really do
- 2:27love you. But in the end you see it's just
- 2:30really love bombings. But maybe it started all this
- 2:31genuine, but love bombing is the how they get you, you know?
- 2:35They don't know how to show genuine, authentic love
- 2:37sometimes. So they love bomb you, So love
- 2:39bombing. It looks like.
- 2:41It feels like it looks and feels like real love, but it's quick.
- 2:43Y'all it's. I'm not saying you can't fall in
- 2:45genuine love really fast. But love, real genuine love.
- 2:49True love takes time. Y'all it really just does.
- 2:52It's it's crockpot. You put love in a crockpot.
- 2:56Love bombing is microwavable. Love bombing.
- 2:59You can put it in the microwave, you rip the plastic off.
- 3:01It's 90 seconds. Ready rice, You know what I
- 3:04mean? It's it's ready rice.
- 3:05You put it in the microwave for 90 seconds.
- 3:06It's hot and ready, you know. Ready.
- 3:09Rice. But that's the space, That's how
- 3:12it goes. Look, it takes time.
- 3:14You have to slow yourselves down.
- 3:15That's why I tell people you have to slow down.
- 3:18Slowing down is the way the differentiate between the two
- 3:20slow it down. Love vomit is fast.
- 3:24It's it's it's just overwhelming.
- 3:26It's it's meant to overwhelm your senses.
- 3:28Your sense of touch, smell, taste, hear, sight, everything.
- 3:32All your senses are overwhelmed because you feel like you found
- 3:34the person of your of your dreams.
- 3:37That's how it goes and it's understandable.
- 3:39That's why I tell them it's understandable that you feel
- 3:41this way. And I'm not trying to make some
- 3:43hurt people's feelings or anything like that, but this is
- 3:45what happens. Y'all when you're dealing with a
- 3:46narcissist or tax person, they throw it on quick.
- 3:49Real love takes time. It takes time to develop.
- 3:52It takes time to mature. It's crock pot.
- 3:54You put it in the crock pot, it tastes better later on is you
- 3:57let it Stew. Let it.
- 3:59You let it sit overnight. The microwave is your love,
- 4:03mommy. So slow yourself down.
- 4:05That's one way you can kind of tell right there.
- 4:07Y'all if you slow yourself down in this space right there, you
- 4:10know, like I said, and the next thing in this space is that it's
- 4:15about control. Real love is autonomy.
- 4:19Both of you have individual autonomy over your own lives.
- 4:24You just do get in real, genuine love once it take.
- 4:28It takes time to build up. That person that really loves
- 4:31you let allows you to be you right.
- 4:35That person that actually, genuinely, genuinely cares about
- 4:38you, loves you, allows you the space to be you right.
- 4:43They allow you the time and the space and the effort in order to
- 4:46be yourself. You have autonomy.
- 4:48You can go where you want to go. You can keep the friends that
- 4:50you have. You can keep the family members
- 4:52around. You can go do what you want to
- 4:53do, right? Love bombing is no autonomy like
- 4:57they love when they're love bombing you.
- 4:59Typically that narcissistic person, you know, that
- 5:03narcissistic, toxic person. Whoever it is, when they're love
- 5:06bombing you, they take over your autonomy, they take over your
- 5:10individuality. Like you start to lose yourself.
- 5:13You don't lose yourself in true love.
- 5:15In real love, you find yourself, you find out.
- 5:17You discover parts about yourself you didn't know that
- 5:19you probably might. You might start to like about
- 5:21yourself. Love bombing takes you to a
- 5:24place you never wanted to go. You know.
- 5:26True love takes you on a journey of just self discovery and self
- 5:29development where you learn and you grow, you thrive.
- 5:31Love bombing takes you to the pits.
- 5:33You know what I'm saying? It's like the love love bombing
- 5:36takes you to the off ramp to hell you like oh we going to
- 5:39heaven. And they put the right turn
- 5:41signal along you like wait, that's the hell you like.
- 5:43I know. And they take the turn they take
- 5:45they take the off ramp to hell. They take they take you to a
- 5:48place you never wanted to go. You lose yourself.
- 5:51Love bombing is about control, manipulation, you see.
- 5:54It's about you lose your autonomy.
- 5:55You lose yourself in through genuine, real love, you gain.
- 5:59There's games to make. You see.
- 6:01There's games to make. There's games to create.
- 6:03That's how it happens. That's how it goes right there,
- 6:05just in those spaces, you know, let's still take your time.
- 6:09It takes time. Y'all's crock pot.
- 6:10It's just Stew takes time. That's how you go about doing
- 6:13things right there. You know what I mean?
- 6:15So the next thing right here, y'all, I'm adding chapters now.
- 6:19Y'all real, true love is unconditional.
- 6:24True love is unconditional though.
- 6:26So do I believe in unconditional love?
- 6:29Y'all, I'm a narcissist. I have narcissist.
- 6:30The person. I have the disorder.
- 6:31I feel like there's strains attached to everything to me,
- 6:34that's just to me. Y'all that's you see what I'm
- 6:35saying? But real genuine love from
- 6:38research and from good people say there's no strains attached.
- 6:42It's there's no conditions. I like love bombers.
- 6:46It's conditional. If you refuse this, if you
- 6:50refuse this love, I'm going to take the love away.
- 6:53If you, if you break this condition, the love will be
- 6:56taken away from you. You know, true love.
- 7:00There's no condition. There's no strains attached.
- 7:01Of course there's things that they can do to violate your
- 7:05boundaries and stuff like that. Like if somebody truly loves
- 7:07you, they're not going to cheat on you.
- 7:08See what I'm saying? You shouldn't cheat on them.
- 7:11You say. Like if you cheat on them that
- 7:13that's the the the love should be taken away.
- 7:15You should say that's why my mind works.
- 7:17But true, real love, right? Y'all, no strange attacks.
- 7:22Narcissistic people. A lot of their love is
- 7:24conditional. There's conditional love.
- 7:26It's love bombing as quick as fast.
- 7:28It's not sustainable, you know it's not sustainable.
- 7:31It typically goes away over time, you know.
- 7:35It typically goes away over time.
- 7:37Like once you hit us once you know a person who really loves
- 7:40you will love you. Flaws and all, right, they will
- 7:44love you, flaws and all. They just will.
- 7:47You know. They see your flaws and they
- 7:48might love you anymore. They'll love you even more.
- 7:51A narcissistic person, when they see your flaws, they take the
- 7:55love away. You just broke one of their
- 7:57conditions. Their condition was for you to
- 7:59be perfect, their string, the string that was attached with
- 8:02for you to be perfect and be flawless.
- 8:04I thought you were flawless. So you just broke one of their
- 8:07Cardinals, cardinal rules or whatever.
- 8:09And now they're taking the love away.
- 8:12You see down to see your flaws. And we all have flaws.
- 8:15Y'all this is not me just pointing at the finger at you
- 8:16and like you're a flawed person. You you deserve this.
- 8:19No, this is not me. I'm not saying y'all.
- 8:20I'm not saying it at all. I'm just saying that's how the
- 8:23the mind of a lot of narcissist works right there is that they
- 8:26will point out your flaws and it will put the put the blame on to
- 8:29you. You know it's your fault and
- 8:31they will leave you. A person who really loves you,
- 8:34loves you, flaws and all. They kiss, they kiss, they kiss
- 8:36your bumps and bruises, right? A narcissist points out and it
- 8:39points and laughs at your bumps and bruises.
- 8:41A love bomber? Not just a narcissist, A love
- 8:44bomber points out your bumps and bruises.
- 8:46You know, real true love is sustainable.
- 8:49That's what. So I'm I'm an indie right here.
- 8:51Y'all with ways that you can, you know, set boundaries for
- 8:54yourself and things like that. But real, true, genuine love.
- 8:58Like I said, y'all, it's sustainable.
- 9:00So this is one way you can ask yourself one way to to
- 9:03counteract it is to set boundaries.
- 9:05In the beginning, y'all say no. Because when you say no, like,
- 9:10listen, it's right when you say no to somebody, right?
- 9:13When you say no to a narcissistic person or a love
- 9:15bomber, that's breaking. That's one of those conditions
- 9:18right there. That's breaking a condition so
- 9:20the love will be taken away early on.
- 9:22That's how you can tell early on.
- 9:24I said no, I don't want this. This makes me uncomfortable.
- 9:28Set your boundaries. Take some time for yourself.
- 9:31Y'all time for yourself is a boundary.
- 9:33If you feel like this person is just overwhelming you with love
- 9:36and just y'all on the phone 24 hours a day, y'all seeing each
- 9:39other all day, every day, you don't get a chance to see your
- 9:42friends and family. You don't call had to call them
- 9:43to work because y'all clap your cheeks too much.
- 9:45Like you know, that's cool, fine and dandy, but you should be
- 9:48able to take some time to yourself.
- 9:50If you're not able to take some time for yourself and you just
- 9:53hey, if you tell this person to say, hey, look, I really like
- 9:56you think we think we think you're cool.
- 9:58But I need some time to myself. I need some.
- 9:59I need a day or so to myself. Like, can you respect my time
- 10:02and my space? A love bomber will feel a
- 10:04certain type of way about it. A person who really loves you,
- 10:07who, who's trying to work on his love will respect your choices
- 10:10and respect your boundaries. They will respect your
- 10:12individuality as a person. So being able to take time for
- 10:16yourself and saying no help you in the beginning to tell the to
- 10:20differentiate between is this real love or is it like, is this
- 10:24sustainable? Ask yourself that question right
- 10:26there. Y'all there's another way right
- 10:27there. Is this sustainable?
- 10:31The sustainability of this matters because love bombing is
- 10:34not sustainable. If it's all over the top
- 10:38grandiose things in the beginning, is it sustainable?
- 10:41Maybe they're rich and famous or something like that.
- 10:43Maybe the stuff that they're doing is sustainable.
- 10:45But if not, y'all, y'all, we're going.
- 10:47We went on the 1st the first month we dated every every day
- 10:51we went on the carriage back ride through through Central
- 10:54Park. Now we don't do that anymore.
- 10:56Y'all ask yourself, is this sustainable?
- 10:59And if it's not sustainable maybe eight.
- 11:01Could you move on you know is it too much if you if you if you
- 11:05are able to set the boundary and tell someone to slow down or
- 11:08this makes you uncomfortable. That shows you sustainability
- 11:11right there. If you able to tap the brakes.
- 11:13If you're moving fast because like yeah, real love, like I
- 11:15told you earlier real love does move fast sometimes.
- 11:19Like real it can it can't move fast sometimes.
- 11:21But the way to tell if it's moving fast.
- 11:23If it's real love, it's just the kind of you know you might you.
- 11:26You can tap the brakes. You are a passenger in this
- 11:29relationship vehicle so you can tap.
- 11:31It's a driver's a car. You got a brake.
- 11:33You. You also have a steering wheel
- 11:35and a brake and a pedal on your side of the car as well.
- 11:37So if you're going too fast, you should be able to tap the
- 11:40brakes. Because once you start to tap
- 11:42the brakes and that the person who really loves you notices
- 11:45that you're trying to slow down, they will slow down with you.
- 11:47They will start tapping the brakes too, right?
- 11:50They will start tapping the brakes with you, a narcissistic
- 11:52person. If they see you tapping the
- 11:53brakes, they'll try to slam their damn foot to the ground.
- 11:56They'll put, they'll push the pedal to the floor and try to
- 11:58floor it. You just literally try to floor
- 12:00to try to floor it, to get away from this situation, to try to
- 12:03speed things up. Because the one of the reasons
- 12:06why narcissist wants to move faster, y'all because they think
- 12:09they move slow. You'll see the you will see the
- 12:11real them and you won't like them.
- 12:13You will see the real me and you won't like me.
- 12:16You will see the real version of who I am and you won't care for
- 12:18me anymore. You'll do this and do that and
- 12:20you won't going to be around me anymore.
- 12:22You won't like me. That's the real that's one of
- 12:24the reasons that a narcissistic person will show they ass.
- 12:27Well, like they try to move extremely fast.
- 12:29I show they ass. We'll try to move extremely fast
- 12:31because they don't. A lot of them don't like
- 12:33themselves. A lot of us don't like
- 12:35ourselves. So we don't think we can like
- 12:37you, you know? You don't think we, we don't
- 12:39think you can like us. Because if we don't like
- 12:41ourselves we see all the flaws in ourselves then we think
- 12:44you're going to see him as well. And you know how narcissists are
- 12:47with flaws. You see our if we see your
- 12:49flaws, we take the love away. So we assume that you're going
- 12:52to do the same thing to us. You'll see our flaws and take
- 12:55the love away. So yeah, I hope this brought you
- 12:58some clarity. If it did leave a heart in the
