- 0:11If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:12I'm a self aware narcissist and welcome to another episode of
- 0:15The Narcissist Code. Welcome back folks.
- 0:35I'll be jamming behind the scenes when the theme music is
- 0:38going on. Just so y'all know I might post
- 0:40that the B roll one day, but yes Oh yeah yeah yes yes yes.
- 0:46So is love bombing fake from the beginning?
- 0:49Before we hop deep into today's episode, y'all if y'all looking
- 0:51for one-on-one coaching support groups, all my information you

- 0:59So check out mental illness.net for all of your mental illness
- 1:02needs. But yeah, so I get this question
- 1:07a lot right here. Y'all is love bombing this just
- 1:09tactic from the beginning. Is it all fake?
- 1:12Is it just a ploy from the very, very beginning of a relationship
- 1:16from narcissists? I'm going to say this right
- 1:17here. Let me start off with by saying
- 1:19this. It can be.
- 1:21It absolutely is one of those things that can be a tactic from
- 1:25the very beginning to get you to fall for them, to get you to be
- 1:28with them, to get you into a relationship space with them.
- 1:31It absolutely can be a tactic of manipulation.
- 1:36It can be planned from the beginning.
- 1:38They can target you and whatnot. They can't absolutely see you at
- 1:42the mall, see you somewhere in black need that I'm a lie to
- 1:46that I'm a manipulate that I'm a gas like that, you know, so can
- 1:51they do that? Yes, Those are the just super
- 1:53insidious narcissist, right? They can't be manipulative.
- 1:57They only are looking to serve their own needs and wants and so
- 2:00try to serve their own purposes, right.
- 2:04But there are in fact a contingent of narcissist and
- 2:08toxic people out there that are looking for people to be with.
- 2:13There are narcissists out there that are looking to try to fall
- 2:16in love. There are narcissists out there
- 2:18that are looking to try to find people to be with, try to find
- 2:20people that love them and care about them and try to actually
- 2:23give their heart to people. But it almost always goes to
- 2:29hell because the cycle of narcissistic abuse dictates that
- 2:33right after the love bombing phase comes devaluation.
- 2:37Now I have a course called the Understanding the Seven Stages
- 2:40of a Narcissistic Relationship. That between the love bombing
- 2:44and devaluation stages, I have a stage called fracturing.
- 2:48Well, the love bombing stops it go it goes into detail about why
- 2:53the love bombing stops as well. I say you can find all of that
- 2:56information right here at courses.mentalillness.net for
- 2:59the course. But there are some narcissists
- 3:02like for for me, it was an, an unconscious behavior.
- 3:06When, when my relationships exploded, it just was, it was an
- 3:10unconscious behavior like I would find somebody Now are
- 3:14there, are there women out there that I was just like, OK, I like
- 3:16this one. I like this person right here.
- 3:18I, I, I, I see this person to serve one need.
- 3:22Yes, there are women out there. That's how my mind viewed this
- 3:25person right. But when I was in love with
- 3:29somebody, when I seen somebody that I actually wanted to truly
- 3:32be with and try with, I would love bombing this person because
- 3:35I wanted this person for real. I would give this person my all,
- 3:40you know, I would just throw my throw my whole heart and soul
- 3:44into this relationship. I would give this person all of
- 3:47my time, effort, energy, affection, a little bit of
- 3:50money. I did have, you know, me.
- 3:51I would give them everything that I had of me because I
- 3:53wanted this person to feel the same way about me that I felt or
- 3:58feel about them. I absolutely did.
- 4:01So that's one of the things that that consistently happened right
- 4:04there was that I felt good in those situations.
- 4:07I felt good in those circumstances.
- 4:08I wanted, you see what I'm saying?
- 4:10I wanted that right there. So I would, I was actually
- 4:13feeling a certain type of way about these people.
- 4:14I, I wanted that person to be with me.
- 4:17So I would treat this person like I wanted them to be with
- 4:20me. Like cuz they, they made me feel
- 4:21good. I wanted to, to make them feel
- 4:22good, but something would always happen, the fracturing stage
- 4:28that made me look at them differently.
- 4:30And a lot of times what makes you, what makes a narcissist
- 4:32look at you differently? It's because the you, you're
- 4:34getting too emotionally close to them.
- 4:37Like narcissistic people seem like they want emotional
- 4:42closeness, but in all actuality, they want it, but they don't,
- 4:47they don't want it around. They don't want you to get too
- 4:49close to them, right? They don't want you to get too
- 4:53close to them because the closer you get to them, the worse it
- 4:56makes them feel sometimes in that space right there, right?
- 4:59That's what happens. Like the closer you get to the
- 5:01narcissist, the more vulnerable they feel, the more
- 5:03uncomfortable it makes them feel.
- 5:04So they have to damn near push you away.
- 5:07Like you're getting too close to me, so I have to push you away
- 5:11from me. That's how it goes right there.
- 5:13It's just like you're getting way too close to me.
- 5:16So I need to push you away to protect myself.
- 5:19I need to push you away to make myself feel better about myself.
- 5:23I need to push you away to help me heal and to help me grow and
- 5:27to move forward. I'm afraid of it.
- 5:29It doesn't mean I never cared about you because that a lot of
- 5:31people fall into that mindset right there.
- 5:33Well, they must have never cared about me.
- 5:35Like I said, are there some narcissists that will never
- 5:37care? Yeah, there are some narcissists
- 5:39out there that never care, right?
- 5:41Like I said before, there are a ton that actually do care, but
- 5:45they don't know how to. And this is not like y'all, this
- 5:48is not me telling you right now. Just like, well, you know what
- 5:52with Lee, you got to. I'm going to give them another
- 5:54chance. This is not me saying do that.
- 5:57I'm not telling you to give them another chance.
- 5:59Don't do that if you're not. Like if you don't feel safe,
- 6:01hell no. This is not your sign.
- 6:04I'm looking for a sign to go back.
- 6:06This ain't it. This is not your sign to give
- 6:09that toxic, abusive, narcissistic person another
- 6:11chance. This is just me saying that some
- 6:13of them might actually try to care it but they don't know how.
- 6:16And this is also me saying that your ass cannot teach them how
- 6:19to care. That's something they had to
- 6:21work on themselves. Like yo, you, Well, Lee, you,
- 6:23you gave me hope. No, no, no.
- 6:25I'm saying no, Don't misinterpret my words.
- 6:28Don't just try to say, well, Lee said no, no, no, Lee didn't say
- 6:31that. Lee didn't say that.
- 6:34Lee said that. Some of them might care, but it
- 6:36doesn't mean that you should go above and beyond a Call of Duty
- 6:40to try to get this person to fall, get to get this person
- 6:43with you. That's absolutely not what I
- 6:45mean. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:47That's not what I mean. That's not what I'm saying.
- 6:51Like love, I don't, I don't think all love bombing is fake
- 6:54from the beginning, but it ends up looking fake because of how
- 6:57it matter, because of how the situation's manifest, because of
- 7:00how it ends up. You know, it doesn't feel fake
- 7:03to you, does it? And at the beginning for a lot
- 7:04of narcissist, it doesn't feel fake either.
- 7:06But it ends up looking that way just based on how things go,
- 7:11just based on the outcome. Ends up looking that way because
- 7:14now we're struggling because now we're in a certain type of mind,
- 7:17so we're in a certain type of space.
- 7:18That's how it ends up looking, right?
- 7:21So I want you to understand like, just because it looks a
- 7:23certain type of way does not mean that you have to do
- 7:26something right there. It does not mean that well, I
- 7:29need to go above and beyond. That's not what I'm saying.
- 7:31Don't do that. Lee is not telling you to do
- 7:34that. Lee did not tell you to do that.
- 7:35Do not do that. That's what I'm saying don't do
- 7:40that. This is what happens to so many
- 7:45people though, like narcissistic people.
- 7:47Some of them actually try to care, but they don't know how.
- 7:50They don't know what to do. This is not say teach them
- 7:54bully. I'm, I'm going to teach them I'm
- 7:55I'm be the one to show them that love is real.
- 7:58No, you're going to waste a lot of time, effort and energy and
- 8:00then you can be mad as hell and then somehow you can try to
- 8:02blame me when I'm clearly telling you not to do it.
- 8:05I'm literally open opening my mouth and saying don't do this,
- 8:09don't do it, but you do it anyway.
- 8:12That's going to fall onto you. You say I'm saying it's going to
- 8:15fall onto you. Yeah.
- 8:16I, I don't think that all love bombing is fake and manipulative
- 8:20from the very beginning. I just don't believe that to be
- 8:21true. But there are some narcissists
- 8:24out there that have an I'll intent from the jump, from the
- 8:27offset of things. You know what I'm saying?
- 8:30There are some narcissists that have a fault that have an I'll
- 8:33intent out there for you and they will show you that they
- 8:38absolutely do. They will show you that they
- 8:41absolutely have I'll intent for you.
- 8:44They will show you and they will treat you a certain type of way.
- 8:48And if you have a certain, if you have a certain type of
- 8:52mindset, of a certain type of mentality, this is what the type
- 8:56of stuff that's going to happen right there, right?
- 8:58I would just want y'all to understand that.
- 9:00Like if you are anxiously, I'm working on, I'm working on
- 9:02attachment theory, right? If you are look at look at your
- 9:05attachment theory. If you have an anxious
- 9:07attachment, that does not mean that a lot of times narcissist,
- 9:11you end up with a narcissistic person because narcissists tend
- 9:15to be avoidance, right? They tend to be avoidance.
- 9:19So it just in this space right here, you're dealing with it.
- 9:21I want y'all to win. I absolutely want y'all to win
- 9:25at all costs at all costs. So just because somebody tried
- 9:31to care for you and they couldn't, they they might have
- 9:33loved you to the to the maximum of their ability, but it might
- 9:38not be enough for you. It might not be enough for what
- 9:41you do require what you require. You know, believe how do we make
- 9:44it work? You accept less.
- 9:49Yes, the moment of silence was intentional.
- 9:52You have to accept less. You have to be willing to accept
- 9:54less to be in a relationship with a narcissistic person.
- 9:56Less love, less careless affection.
- 9:58They're going to love you the way they know how to love.
- 10:00And a lot of times narcissist love is going to be based on
- 10:03physical things. Physical.
- 10:06Let's let's sleep together. Here's a gift.
- 10:08Hey, I'm here art. Nah, that type of stuff right
- 10:10there. A narcissist love is going to be
- 10:12based on the physicality of elements and dynamics that cross
- 10:15over into these spaces. Like I said, I do want y'all to
- 10:18win. I want y'all to win so bad,
- 10:21right? And the best way for you to win
- 10:23is to understand what you're going through and understand
- 10:24what you're experiencing, to understand who you're fighting
- 10:27and how you're and who you're fighting against.
- 10:30There is baby steps on the healing process, baby steps on
- 10:34the healing journey. And you do get there eventually,
- 10:36but you have to allow yourself that space to heal.
- 10:38You have to allow yourself that space to grow.
- 10:40You have to allow yourself, you know that it, you just have to
- 10:44allow yourself that, that growth contingent, that space.
- 10:49Like I said, at the end of the day, I still want y'all to win.
- 10:52But like I said, I don't think all love bombing is fake.
- 10:54Love bombing can be a manipulation, but this is, this
- 10:56is the only way that a lot of narcissists know how to care.
- 11:00This is the only way that a lot of narcissists know how to know,
- 11:06know how to balance things out. This is the only way that a lot
- 11:09of narcissists know how to experience love is through
- 11:12physical stuff. That's why I say love bombing.
- 11:14It could feel like a deep emotional connection to you in
- 11:18the beginning, but at the end of the day, he ends up feeling like
- 11:22a deep fit, like it, like it ends up looking and you
- 11:25understand it that it's a physical thing.
- 11:27It's more of a physical dynamic, a physical aspect of things.
- 11:32So narcissistic love is typically typically based on
- 11:35physical stuff because they can't provide you that deep
- 11:38emotional connection because they haven't worked on
- 11:39themselves. Let's keep it hot and ready like
- 11:42a like a Little Caesar's pizza. Like I always say you're hot and
- 11:44ready like a little Caesar piece.
- 11:45Y'all didn't take a little Caesar say hey, I bought a pizza
- 11:48because of Lee. No, I'm joking.
