Transcript
- 0:00So what type of apologies will a narcissist offer you?
- 0:06Like what kind of apologies do they even OfferUp?
- 0:10Like I think a lot of people understand that narcissist that
- 0:13people talk to people don't really OfferUp apologies.
- 0:16But if they were to on the slight chance that they would,
- 0:21how would it look? How would it seem?
- 0:23What would it sound like or what would it look like?
- 0:27That's what we talked about today, y'all.
- 0:29Of course, if you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:31I'm a diagnose narcissist myself.
- 0:33And let's welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:35Let's get it, y'all. Let's get it.
- 0:37Let's get it. Welcome back, y'all, Welcome
- 0:59back y'all. Seriously, the reason I get so
- 1:02hyped is because this is going to be one of the final episodes
- 1:06of The Narcissist Code. 1 of the final ones, we're shifting to
- 1:10the Mental illness podcast here soon where we could, we want to
- 1:13be covering all things mental health, still narcissism, but
- 1:16encompassing all things mental health.
- 1:18So thank y'all for being alone on this ride with me, but let's
- 1:21hop right into it, y'all. The different types of apologies
- 1:23that a narcissist or a toxic person will offer, we're going
- 1:26to hop right into all of them. The first type of apology that a
- 1:30narcissist will offer, y'all is what I refer to and a lot of
- 1:35people refer to as a literally as a blanket statement apology.
- 1:41Right? A blanket statement apology is
- 1:44what some narcissistic people will offer you.
- 1:48Well, Lee, what the hell is a blanket statement apology?
- 1:50I'm glad you asked A blanket statement.
- 1:54Apology happens. When they say I'm sorry for
- 1:57everything, what does that mean? It has no meaning for it.
- 2:02It's it it, it's, it's supposed to cover everything.
- 2:05Like a blanket. It's supposed to keep you warm
- 2:09until something better comes along, right?
- 2:11A blanket keeps you warm in cold weather.
- 2:14A blanket makes things better quickly.
- 2:16You see what I'm saying? If it's freezing outside or
- 2:18freezing inside instead of you can turn the heat on or you can
- 2:22get a blanket. First, the blanket offers
- 2:25instant gratification, right? Like a narcissist, a blanket
- 2:28statement apology is pretty much them offering some instant
- 2:31gratification to you to make you feel good in the moment.
- 2:34It's I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for hurting you.
- 2:37I'm sorry I did that. What the hell does that mean?
- 2:40A blanket a blanket statement apology lacks specificity out it
- 2:44has it's not specific a real apology.
- 2:47A genuine apology has specific words in it.
- 2:50It they tell you exactly what they do, right, they tell you
- 2:56exactly what they do. That's what a blanket statement,
- 3:00that's what a real apology has. It's you did this to me or no, I
- 3:06did this to you. I'm sorry for that.
- 3:09A blanket statement doesn't have that.
- 3:11A blanket statement lacks remorse.
- 3:13It lacks actual remorse. It it doesn't have a plan of
- 3:16action to correct the behavior, it doesn't mean anything.
- 3:20I'm sorry for everything. I did a one-on-one recently.
- 3:23Y'all with a with a young lady. You can find my one on ones
- 3:27mental illness.net and she she told me she showed me a message
- 3:32to her exit center. It's literally said I'm sorry
- 3:35for everything and I mean everything, everything that I've
- 3:38done to you, everything that I put you through all the all the
- 3:42things I'm sorry for them, but specifically everything.
- 3:46Huh. You're sorry for everything, but
- 3:48specifically everything. What the hell?
- 3:50I was like what me and her, we shared a good laugh about that.
- 3:55Y'all know we, we laughed doing all like my one on ones, my
- 3:58coaching, it goes in a lot of different directions.
- 4:00Y'all, we laughed. It was a good laugh.
- 4:02We had a very good laugh at that right there, because it was
- 4:04silly. It it didn't mean anything
- 4:06because there is no specificity there.
- 4:08So that's the first type of apology that a lot of
- 4:10narcissistic people will offer. The next one.
- 4:12Y'all is them Da da da da. Blaming you.
- 4:17They blame you for everything. But Lee, this is that.
- 4:20That's that's not an apology. Yes, it is.
- 4:22They'll say I'm sorry, but what about what you did right?
- 4:27They'll say I'm sorry, but what about what you did?
- 4:30Blaming you is a way of putting it off.
- 4:33This is how they obfuscate. This is how they get away from
- 4:36stuff. They might say the words I'm
- 4:38sorry, but they'll put the blame onto you or someone else.
- 4:45It's what I'm saying. It doesn't just stick with them.
- 4:47They have to find a way to put it on to someone else.
- 4:51It can't just stick with them. They have to put it on to
- 4:54someone else. I'm sorry, but you did this.
- 4:58I'm sorry you made me do this. Like, huh, I'm sorry.
- 5:02But if anybody says, but after the words I'm sorry, it
- 5:07eliminates the I'm sorry because now they're they're not taking
- 5:11accountability. I'm sorry, yes, that's partially
- 5:15taking accountability, but that's no accountability or
- 5:18they're divvying, they're divvying it up.
- 5:20They're blaming you or this is a 2 parter, they're blaming you or
- 5:26they're blaming others. I'm sorry, but this other person
- 5:31did this to me. I'm sorry, but they made me do
- 5:34this to you. So it's not really my fault.
- 5:36It's on them. They did this.
- 5:38I didn't really have anything to do with this.
- 5:41It was on them. They'll put it on to anybody but
- 5:46themselves. This is how narcissistic people
- 5:49work. Like they don't want to take
- 5:51accountability for anything that they do.
- 5:53So they'll instead of just saying I'm sorry I hurt you and
- 5:56I'll never do it again, which is still not a real apology,
- 5:59they'll say I'm sorry but I'm sorry but BUTTTTT big old butt
- 6:07ABBL apology big old butt. But it's not real.
- 6:13No disrespect to my BBL baddies out there, but seriously, I've
- 6:18always, it's always I'm sorry, but it's very rarely I'm sorry.
- 6:23And that's it. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:25But that's how narcissistic people operate.
- 6:27That's the mentality of narcissists, right?
- 6:29That's how we move. That's how we move.
- 6:30That's how we put it all into everything, right?
- 6:33And that's how we're going to keep doing it because, well,
- 6:35Lee, why they why won't they just stop and take
- 6:37accountability? Because we don't want to take
- 6:39accountability because blaming you or blaming everybody else
- 6:42works. The blanket statements work
- 6:44because you accept them. If I can keep give you a blanket
- 6:47statement apology, I'm going to keep giving you a blanket
- 6:49statement apology because it works.
- 6:51Why wouldn't I do what works? Again, that's something for
- 6:54y'all to consider. The next one, drum roll please,
- 7:00is they admit it, but they also put it on to you, you that I
- 7:09know it sounds very similar to blaming you, but this is
- 7:12getting, this is trying to get you to take accountability,
- 7:15right? This is trying to get you or
- 7:17whoever else to take accountability.
- 7:19They try to say I'm sorry, but what about you?
- 7:21Did they? So they'll try to draw an
- 7:24apology out of you. They'll try to draw apology out
- 7:29of you. And you know what that is?
- 7:32That's a red flag, y'all. Shout out to Jessica Montes for
- 7:36that one, y'all. But that's what goes on right
- 7:39there. They say I'm sorry, but you made
- 7:42me do this. They'll put it directly in your
- 7:45pocket and try to make you apologize.
- 7:48And if you apologize for something that you did not do,
- 7:52you lose. Let's be real.
- 7:55If you apologize for something that you did not do, you will
- 8:01lose. You know what I'm saying?
- 8:04And I tell that to people all the time and This is why and
- 8:08this is the way it goes. Like if you apologize to me for
- 8:12something that you did that something for something that I
- 8:14did, then you lose. I have no, I, I have no reason
- 8:19to offer you any type of any type of contrition, any type of
- 8:24change. Why would I do that?
- 8:26What? I don't have to.
- 8:27Why would I do that when I don't need to?
- 8:29You see what I'm saying? That's how the mind of
- 8:31narcissistic people work. So if I can get you to
- 8:33apologize, then hell yeah, I ain't saying nothing.
- 8:35Why what? Why would I?
- 8:37Why would I say anything? If you apologize, you know what
- 8:40I'm saying. I might say I'm sorry, but you
- 8:42did this. And if you say I'm sorry in the
- 8:45conversation, we both made mistakes.
- 8:47We were both in their own, me and whoever both also did
- 8:51something. I was tricked, right?
- 8:53I was tricked and whatnot. And they'll put it on to you,
- 8:56y'all. So this is what you have to deal
- 8:58with when you dealing with a toxic narcissistic person.
- 9:00These are type of apologies or blame shifting type of type,
- 9:04type of techniques that narcissistic people will do.
- 9:08Now I'm pretty sure if you dealt with the narcissist, you've
- 9:10experienced this in some way, shape or form.
- 9:13You just have to there's, there's no way escaping this
- 9:15type of stuff. If you dealt with the
- 9:16narcissistic person for any, any valid amount of time you've
- 9:21dealt with this type of stuff. The next thing I have on my list
- 9:24y'all of apologies or getting away from it is ignoring.
- 9:31I know it's not funny, but just flat out ignoring it is a way
- 9:35that narcissistic people will hope that you will hope things
- 9:38go away, right? It's a weak ass apology.
- 9:41It's just like ignoring the issue as a whole.
- 9:44I know that most people that follow me have dealt with the
- 9:47narcissist, screaming at them, yelling at them, doing something
- 9:51horrible to them and then coming back to them, right?
- 9:55They scream at you, yell at you, do something horrible to you,
- 9:58and then the next day pretend like nothing happened, right?
- 10:03They act like nothing happened at all, like they just, they,
- 10:08they hope that things just go away on their own.
- 10:11And this is how it typically, right?
- 10:12This is how it typically goes. They hope that by dealing with
- 10:15this type of stuff right here, they hope that while you say
- 10:18this type of stuff while you're dealing with them, they hope
- 10:20that it just goes away on its own.
- 10:22Like they think that silence is the answer.
- 10:24Silence will help things go away.
- 10:26Silence will just do this type of stuff right here.
- 10:29Silent, silent, silence. And the more silent I, I am.
- 10:34And if it works, if you come to, let's say I'm silent to you,
- 10:36right? I'm super silent to you, but
- 10:40then you come to me. I win, I win.
- 10:44Or if I make a joke, if I break the silence and now I can avoid
- 10:49accountability, I still win in that situation too.
- 10:52You see what I'm saying? Sometimes it's just simply about
- 10:54wins. And with a narcissist, it's
- 10:56simply about wins and losses. It's about wins and losses.
- 11:00It's about guns and butter. What was it from?
- 11:02What movie is it from? Guns and butter.
- 11:05That baby boy. Guns and butter.
- 11:06I think it is from baby boy. But this is what this, this is
- 11:09what transpires, y'all? This is seriously how it goes.
- 11:11Narcissistic people put you, will take you through the ringer
- 11:15and put it on to you and just be silent to you and hope it goes
- 11:19away. Hope it goes well.
- 11:20Ignore the rash and hope it goes away on its own.
- 11:23Like it went away, it's all gone.
- 11:26It's all gone and that's what ends up happening right there.
- 11:30Y'all like if it works, it works.
- 11:33The next thing that I have on my list is something that's going
- 11:36to piss some of y'all I know. Like if you're not sitting down,
- 11:40go ahead and sit down. Are you seated just yet?
- 11:43Are you sitting down all right? If you're not, don't say I
- 11:46didn't warn you. Don't try to sue me.
- 11:47Like lead to lead knocked me off my feet.
- 11:49He he should have warned me buying you something.
- 11:57Sometimes they're like, yo, narcissistic people show love
- 12:01and affection through physical things, right?
- 12:04It's almost always physical things of how they show love,
- 12:08how they show care how they show affection.
- 12:10So if it's physical things, if it's like you know what I'm
- 12:14saying, they buy you something, they feel like they can buy your
- 12:17forgiveness. That's an apology to to them.
- 12:20Yeah, I cheated on you and had four kids outside of my
- 12:23marriage. Yes, I cheated on you and got
- 12:24pregnant by somebody else. I'm carrying somebody else's
- 12:26baby right now. But here's the PlayStation 5.
- 12:30Here is your favorite video game.
- 12:31Here's Fortnite. Here's here's some V bucks.
- 12:34Here's some Roebucks. Roebucks.
- 12:36You mean here? Here's some flowers.
- 12:39Here's that Pandora bracelet you've been asking for forever.
- 12:44I know it's embarrassing. Yeah, but it does happen.
- 12:48They will just simply buy you something and think that you
- 12:51should forgive them. Now does this work comment
- 12:55section, if it worked on you, just drop in the comment
- 12:57section. This is a safe place.
- 12:58It's not somewhere you're going to be.
- 12:59We are not trying to embarrass each other.
- 13:01We're just trying to show each other or prove to each other
- 13:04that this is not you're not alone on this journey.
- 13:06So if you've been if they've gotten you by buying you
- 13:09something, then it works. I thought to somebody literally
- 13:12y'all talk to somebody today. Another one I do a lot of I do a
- 13:15lot of coaching college. Y'all talk to somebody again one
- 13:18O 1 and that's why I got the PlayStation thing from literally
- 13:21dude said yeah man, she got me man she played my face.
- 13:24She did this she lied to me. She said she was somewhere that
- 13:26she wasn't and then the next day she knew my PlayStation 5
- 13:29controller was broke. She bought she came over didn't
- 13:31say a word just held up that fucking camo PlayStation
- 13:36control. I think the camo controllers are
- 13:37a little bit more expensive. Held up a camo PlayStation
- 13:40controller and they say you know this and they're clapping cheeks
- 13:43got them You see I see you can't see how they think about you
- 13:46again. One O ones mental illness.net.
- 13:48You can enter the code mental 15 for 15% alpha one O 1 y'all, and
- 13:54that's where it goes. Y'all seriously?
- 13:55But yeah, just buy you something.
- 13:57Buy you something you always been asking for.
- 13:59It's crazy how they always look. It's crazy how they be
- 14:02forgetting things all the time, act like they don't know how to
- 14:04make you happy, and then all of a sudden they do some horrible
- 14:06ass stuff to you and now they have the magic potion.
- 14:10Now all of a sudden they have they they know exactly what to
- 14:13buy you to make you happy. You see how that works right
- 14:15there? This is what goes on.
- 14:17They make it work like that. They know what they're doing,
- 14:21you know what I'm saying, They know exactly what they're doing.
- 14:24And last but not least, y'all, the last thing they have written
- 14:27now for narcissists and how they apologize or get you to forget
- 14:31something is if the last one knocked you off of your feet,
- 14:35this one really going to knock you off your feet.
- 14:38Right here. Y'all ready SEX?
- 14:45Well, y'all know how I be, said it.
- 14:46Y'all know how I say it on this channel right here.
- 14:48It's clapping cheeks. They will clap them cheeks.
- 14:56They absolutely will. Clapping cheeks is a way for a
- 15:00lot of narcissistic people to apologize and we especially when
- 15:03you're angry. This is why I tell people.
- 15:05This is precisely why tell so many people that if you've been
- 15:09arguing or fussing or fighting with a narcissistic person,
- 15:12they've done something horrible to you.
- 15:14Don't sleep with them, y'all. That's how they get you to bond
- 15:17to them even more. Yeah, Yeah.
- 15:19That's what this is one reason I think toxic people have pushed
- 15:22that makeup. Sex is supposed to be so good
- 15:24and so passionate. If you're angry, you're
- 15:26releasing all kinds of endorphins.
- 15:28You're releasing all kinds of shit.
- 15:29You, they and they want you to release the anger out of you.
- 15:32They want, they think an orgasm is supposed to make you forget
- 15:34the anger. The O is supposed to make you
- 15:36forget the A. The big O is supposed to make
- 15:39you forget the big A. The anger that you have for this
- 15:41person and what they've done to you, what they put you through,
- 15:43this is what they do. This is how they get you right
- 15:46here. Y'all seriously?
- 15:47This is the type of stuff that they will absolutely do to you
- 15:50and hold you to account for What?
- 15:52You see what I'm saying? They'll hold you to account for
- 15:55the stuff that they do Absolutely will.
- 15:59So This is why you have to prepare.
- 16:02You literally have to prepare for this type of stuff.
- 16:04Don't sleep with him. I know y'all be horny.
- 16:06I know y'all little honeys be honeys be hot.
- 16:09You get a little red bottles, like a little like a little.
- 16:12What's the monkey with the red bottom?
- 16:13Little baboons. Or there's a baboon.
- 16:15It's a baboon baboon with a big red butt.
- 16:18I know your butt's be getting red.
- 16:20I know you got the red butt. Butt red is here.
- 16:23Hot and red. You hot and red like a little
- 16:24red Little Caesar's pizza. You got a cold, you got to go
- 16:28sit on some ice. Go take a ice bath, take a cold
- 16:31shower. Do not give up the cheeks,
- 16:34fellas. Do not clap them cheeks.
- 16:36This is how they get you. It's addictive.
- 16:39I know. It's I know it can be better in
- 16:41this situation right here. When you're angry, when you're
- 16:43pissed off about something, this is how they get you.
- 16:46This is how they get you. They'll whip it out, they'll
- 16:49strip that, they'll strip down. They'll do all of this stuff to
- 16:52mess with you. But this is that mentality you
- 16:56have to protect yourself. You have to got you have to
- 16:59guard yourself. Do not sleep with them when you
- 17:02are angry, when you are pissed off and whatnot, because this is
- 17:06how to get you. This is how this is how they
- 17:09apologize to you sometime, you know what I mean, But you have
- 17:13to prep for it. Do not let them get you.
- 17:16Do not let do not be angry as hell and them and look, do not
- 17:20don't be angry as hell at them. And then they're like, you still
- 17:22angry now, and it's they start taking their clothes off and
- 17:25you're like, yeah, I'm still angry, but I'll hit it right
- 17:29now. Look, I'm going to sleep with
- 17:31you. I'm going to, I'm going to clap
- 17:32them cheeks, right? I'm going to clap them cheeks,
- 17:38but I'm still going to be mad afterwards.
- 17:40Come here, hop on it. Don't do it.
