- 0:59Narcissistic toxic people. Absolutely love love.
- 1:07To withhold compliments and affection from you.
- 1:10Love it there. Yeah, there are a lot of
- 1:12narcissists out here who will refuse to tell you that you look
- 1:16good. Who will refuse you refuse.
- 1:18To tell you that you've been putting the work in and that
- 1:21they're proud of you and anything like that.
- 1:22It's not just about about your body or your weight loss or
- 1:25weight gain journey, whatever type of journey you owe.
- 1:27This could be your success, this could be you graduated from
- 1:30college, this could be you getting from promotion at work.
- 1:33This could be you getting a job that you want.
- 1:35Like a lot of them will refuse to compliment you on your
- 1:39successes. You know what I mean?
- 1:41But Lee, why is that? Why the hell doesn't my partner
- 1:45like to? See me win in any way, shape or
- 1:47form. Why do they hate to just say
- 1:49Congrats? Why do they hate this type of
- 1:51stuff right here? Why do they?
- 1:52Why? Can't they stand this?
- 1:54You know a lot of narcissists. There's one reason.
- 1:57There's a few reasons, y'all. One reason is that they're
- 1:59jealous of you. They are, absolutely.
- 2:01Jealous of you and the crazy thing about it is y'all, they
- 2:04can already be in the best shape of their life.
- 2:06They can. Already have the the job that
- 2:08they've been wanting their whole entire life.
- 2:10They can already have all of that stuff and still be jealous
- 2:13of you. Willie, What the hell?
- 2:15How does that make sense? Why are they jealous of us if
- 2:17they already have what they want?
- 2:18If they already have what they need, why are they jealous of
- 2:21us? Why?
- 2:21Can't they just celebrate us? Y'all narcissistic people?
- 2:24Like it is going. To sound bad, it's going to
- 2:26sound, it's going to sound really weird and I know it's
- 2:27going to sound really weird y'all, but a lot of narcissists,
- 2:30right? A lot of narcissistic people,
- 2:33when they achieve success, they are still not happy when they
- 2:37achieve like this big promotion or whatever they want to be,
- 2:41when they, when they get what they're searching for, when they
- 2:43get what they're after, they're not fully happy with it.
- 2:47And that gets on their damn nerves that get, yeah, that
- 2:49irritates, that irritates our souls.
- 2:52Like Tony Robbins had a good line.
- 2:54He said the he said ultimate failure is success without
- 2:58fulfilment. That's the ultimate.
- 2:59That's one of the ultimate failures.
- 3:01One of the greatest failures in life is to have success without
- 3:05fulfilment. Like to achieve your goals and
- 3:07not be happy with it? Not be content with it.
- 3:09That's. Ultimate failure.
- 3:10So narcissists or a lot of us are ultimate failures because we
- 3:14get what we're looking for, we get what we're after, and we're
- 3:16not happy with it. We get the person we're after.
- 3:18We get the. Perfect partner.
- 3:20The partner. We've we've been.
- 3:21The partner we've been dreaming of our whole lives.
- 3:24The job we've been wanting out since we were kids.
- 3:27The the the job, the promotion, the friend group, the family
- 3:31structure we wanted since we were children.
- 3:33We get that. We're not.
- 3:34Happy, and it frustrates the hell out of us.
- 3:37And it makes us mad as hell that you get to be happy.
- 3:41You're happy with your success, you're content with it, you love
- 3:45it. You're just proud to be where
- 3:47you are. And we are not.
- 3:50We get jealous of that, so we don't celebrate you because of
- 3:54that. We don't celebrate you or
- 3:55compliment you because we're jealous of you.
- 3:57A lot of us are. And yes, I'm saying us because
- 4:00I'm one of them. I was one of them, you know, I'm
- 4:03not my mind still. Works that way.
- 4:05A little bit here and there, but for the most part, I don't get
- 4:07jealous of my friends and stuff like that.
- 4:09Even if I get jealous, I'm still clapping for them, right?
- 4:12Even if I get jealous of my friends, I clap for them, I clap
- 4:16for them, I'm happy for them and whatnot and it just, it
- 4:18motivates me. But back in the day, I used to
- 4:21be for Oh Barbie, this is fine. Flaming hot.
- 4:22Jealous. You know what I mean.
- 4:24Flaming hot. Like a flaming hot Cheeto.
- 4:25I mean flaming hot. Flaming hot.
- 4:27Jealousy. That's that's what I was.
- 4:31Experiencing flaming hot jealousy.
- 4:34I know this sounds crazy but that's literally how my mind was
- 4:36working in those situations I had.
- 4:38I was flaming hot. I was so damn angry and mad at
- 4:40myself. I mean mad mad at other people
- 4:42because they were more successful than me and I was
- 4:44just like why them, not me? Why you and not them?
- 4:48That's the question a lot of narcissists tend to ask
- 4:50ourselves. Why you and not me?
- 4:53Why do you get to be happy and I don't?
- 4:54Why I'm hell, why the hell am I super sad and they're frustrated
- 4:57with myself and you were just smiling and cheesing your ass
- 5:00off? Why do you get why do you get
- 5:01this and I don't? It's a very frustrating mindset
- 5:04to have y'all. And that's why I try to convey
- 5:06to people it's super frustrating when you're dealing with a
- 5:09narcissist or a toxic person. And this is how our minds work.
- 5:12This is what goes on top of our heads, that we are jealous of
- 5:15you because we can't be happy with what we have.
- 5:18And you are? You know, so jealousy is a big
- 5:21reason, y'all, Jealousy is a huge reason.
- 5:24Another, another reason is because they don't want to blow
- 5:26your heads up. They don't want to blow your
- 5:29heads up. They're still, it's going to
- 5:31sound crazy, but abandonment issues play a role here, y'all.
- 5:34I feel like if I blow your head, if I compliment you too much,
- 5:38you'll leave me. You won't need me anymore.
- 5:41If I give you everything that you won't need, you won't need
- 5:43me anymore, right? So I'm not going to do it.
- 5:46You want me to tell you. You want me to tell you that you
- 5:48look great in that black dress and I know you look good.
- 5:50I know you look good in that dress.
- 5:51I'm like. How, How do I look, Babe?
- 5:57It's all right. Only all right.
- 6:00Yeah. It's OK, man.
- 6:00What do you want to say? It's OK.
- 6:01Look, you look OK. My mind.
- 6:03In my mind, I'm just like snack time, you know, Whatever.
- 6:07It is, but in my but my mouth doesn't say that.
- 6:13In my mind, I'm like, damn, you look good, but my mouth says
- 6:15you're OK. It's like a filter.
- 6:18Like it goes through, like it goes through a filter.
- 6:20Damn, you look good as hell. You look, you look, you look
- 6:22edible. You're OK.
- 6:27You're OK. It just starts off with some
- 6:30craziness, right? Some wildness and some some you
- 6:33know, some thoughts and it comes out you're OK.
- 6:36It's OK. Hey babe, I just graduated.
- 6:38From college. Oh, good for you.
- 6:41I just got the job that I wanted.
- 6:42Oh, that's amazing. Good.
- 6:43Good job. No energy.
- 6:48I think you're going to leave me.
- 6:49If I tell you this right here. I think you're going to leave
- 6:50me. I don't want you to have that.
- 6:52I don't want you to leave me. I have abandonment issues.
- 6:53I want you to stay here with me. I want you to need something for
- 6:55me. And as long as you're needing
- 6:57some type of validation for me, I don't think you'll leave me.
- 7:01I know this sounds deep and dark, but it it it can be.
- 7:04As long as you need this validation for me, I don't think
- 7:06that you'll leave me. And it can work it, it can work
- 7:10as simple as that. As long as I think you need
- 7:13validation from me, I don't think you'll need me.
- 7:15So you're still searching for that validation, right?
- 7:18You're still seeking that validation, right?
- 7:20You're still asking for that validation, right?
- 7:22And that's what happens in a lot of these spaces, a lot of these
- 7:25relationship dynamics. You're still searching for that
- 7:28validation. You're still needing that
- 7:30validation from me. So I don't give it to you
- 7:32because you need it from me. You crave it for me.
- 7:34So I, I withhold it because I want you to leave me.
- 7:37I just, I have a better issue. I think if I tell you that you
- 7:39look good, you actually start to believe it.
- 7:44I don't want you to believe it. And I know it sounds deep and
- 7:46dark and this is not me speaking for myself, but this is me
- 7:48speaking from the mind of an artist.
- 7:49I don't want you to believe that you look good.
- 7:52I don't want you to believe that you are super successful because
- 7:55guess what those things are? Those things mean that you're,
- 7:57you're growing too much and you might outgrow me.
- 8:00So I don't want to like, you know.
- 8:02What do you? What do you do?
- 8:03With a plant that you want to stop, that you don't want to
- 8:06outgrow, it's, it's vase. You stop watering it, you trim
- 8:11it's leaves. You start, you start cutting it,
- 8:14right. Start cutting down some of the
- 8:16branches, the, the vines, you start trimming it down and
- 8:19cutting it. You don't want the plant to
- 8:20outgrow it's vase. I'm the vase.
- 8:22I don't want you to outgrow me. So I'm, so I'm, I'm trimming
- 8:25you. I got the little, I got the
- 8:26little shears. I'm shearing you, right?
- 8:30I'm shearing you. And this is what happens a lot
- 8:33of times in these spaces. I'm shearing you right now.
- 8:37That's why I'm just telling people in these spaces, this is
- 8:40what happens so much in these spaces right here.
- 8:43And if I tell people if you're dealing with a narcissist or a
- 8:45toxic person and they, they will try to stunt your growth, they
- 8:49will, you know, and it. Doesn't mean.
- 8:52That they don't care about you. I know some people you know.
- 8:54Please don't conflate that with them not caring about you.
- 8:57It's just that they don't want you to outgrow them and just
- 8:59because they do care about you that's mean you should stay in a
- 9:01toxic relationship. Let me let me say that I know
- 9:03people were here. Oh, that's all I needed to hear,
- 9:05Lee. I didn't want them to.
- 9:06Hear you say that they do care thanks I'm going to I'm going to
- 9:09go stay in my toxicity now No, that's not what I.
- 9:12Said don't take. It like that.
- 9:14Don't do it. You know, don't go back into
- 9:19toxicity based on something that I say, y'all please don't do
- 9:21that. You know what I mean?
- 9:23Don't do that. This is this is the actions or
- 9:26we, we are actions oriented over here, right?
- 9:29We are actions oriented over here.
- 9:31So they like. I said.
- 9:32They don't want you to leave them and they're jealous of you.
- 9:35Those are the two main reasons right there, you know, because
- 9:38they think that they should be where you are, happy, content.
- 9:43You know what? And as long as you need that
- 9:45validation for me, I'll keep you here.
- 9:48But Lee, how the hell do we do this?
- 9:49Like, I can't leave right now. How do I make this work right
- 9:53now? How do I, you know, how do I
- 9:54stay in this situation? Yeah.
- 9:56If this is one of your biggest problems that you need
- 9:58validation from this person, you you you have to get to the point
- 10:00where you don't necessarily need it.
- 10:02Or you can take their lack of validation.
- 10:05Their lack of. Validation as validation?
- 10:07Yeah, you have to try. Hard to tell people you have to
- 10:09try. You know how?
- 10:10Hard it is to tell them a baddie in today's in young folks
- 10:14language, a baddie or a hot boy, a handsome dude, that they don't
- 10:17look good. It takes strength to do that
- 10:19y'all. It takes strength to.
- 10:21Look at somebody that you know is gorgeous and looking good to
- 10:25say no that you don't. It's intentional, the lack of
- 10:29validation, you know, it's like the opposite take.
- 10:31It's like. Playing opposite game with your
- 10:33narcissistic partner. Hey babe, how do I look?
- 10:35Or you look OK, that means I look great.
- 10:38You see what? I'm saying thanks, babe, take
- 10:40it, take it like that. Reframe your mindset.
- 10:44Hey, babe, I got that. Hey, babe, I got that promotion
- 10:46I've been looking for. So I'm so happy.
- 10:48We're going to make we're going to make more money the house.
- 10:50Are we going to be able to do some stuff around the house?
- 10:51Hell yeah. And they they're like, oh,
- 10:54that's good. I know, that's good isn't it?
- 10:56Take it like that, y'all take their lack.
- 10:59Of attempted validation. And take it for what it is.
- 11:02They have to. Intentionally be that.
- 11:04Way to you know, they have to intentionally withhold it from
- 11:07you. They have to, you know.
- 11:07It takes. Power and strength.
- 11:09To withhold stuff like that, they have you have to try to do
- 11:12that, so their lack of validation is invalidating you,
- 11:16you know I'm saying that's just the way a different way of
- 11:18looking. At it if that's just a different
- 11:20way of looking at it. Because I have to try.
- 11:22Hard as hell to tell my wife when she looking.
- 11:23Good. Like, are you okay?
- 11:26Knowing she look good knowing it so if I say.
- 11:30You OK your? Partner looks at you, you got a
- 11:33look you got a fitted suit on like you like you look you you
- 11:36dress like you about to go to trial.
- 11:38You got a fitted suit on your heart in beard shave everything
- 11:41you good to go you ready to go to court look you like you ready
- 11:44to dress for court. You want to impress the jewelry
- 11:48and you're like, how, baby, how? Baby, what you think?
- 11:51What's your name about this suit?
- 11:52And they say, oh, it's OK. Oh yeah, it is OK, ain't it?
- 11:56Oh, I know it's OK. Thanks.
- 11:57Thank you. Get hype.
- 11:58Over the little stuff. You see what I'm saying?
- 12:00Because that way. They can't drain your energy.
- 12:02They can't drain you. If you weaponize, if you use it,
- 12:04if you take it and reframe it, they can't use it against you.
- 12:09Oh, yo, it's it's OK. Oh, good, good.
- 12:11Good for you. Yeah.
- 12:12Hell yeah, good for me, yes, do it like that y'all.
- 12:16I'm telling you, it is not only shocked them, but it has shocked
- 12:18yourself too at how much energy and strength that you can give
- 12:21yourself from a lack. Like even if they ignore you,
- 12:25y'all know how much energy it takes to try to ignore somebody
- 12:27to look that you know looks good or you know it's successful.
- 12:29You know how much energy it takes to try to ignore you.
- 12:31So try not to look at you. Take that as like, yeah, I look
- 12:35good, yes. Take it like that.
- 12:38Look at him. Look at him.
- 12:39Try not to look at me. Yeah, I look good, yes.

- 12:53taking little stuff as big things you may ignore.
- 12:55You take strength. You have to to ignore me.
- 12:57You have to acknowledge it. You see what I'm saying?
