  What is going on, beautiful people?
• 0:02
  Today we're going to be talking about when a narcissist has a
• 0:06
  guilty conscience. Yes, they can have guilty
• 0:08
  consciences. Y'all.
• 0:08
  Just stay tuned if you're new here.
• 0:10
  My name is Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
• 0:12
  narcissist. And welcome to another episode
• 0:14
  of the Narcissist Code Bang, Bow back.
• 0:36
  So yeah, y'all narcissistic people.
• 0:38
  And those, those those pesky guilty consciences.
• 0:43
  Consciences. I have boy boy, I have a problem
• 0:47
  saying certain words and whatnot.
• 0:49
  But yeah, can a narcissist have the guilty conscience?
• 0:51
  Yes, yes, most can. Some, yeah.
• 0:54
  Some narcissists don't have a conscience.
• 0:56
  They just operate on just, they just be operating like
• 0:59
  narcissists. They're robots.
• 1:00
  They really are robotic. But most have a conscience, you
• 1:04
  know, because this kind of goes back to the question, can
• 1:08
  narcissists feel guilt or shame? And the answer to that question
• 1:11
  is yes. Narcissists feel guilt or shame
• 1:15
  on a spectrum. You know, like literally on a on
• 1:18
  a spectrum, so to speak. Like they might feel guilt and
• 1:23
  they might not guilt and shame. They might feel guilt and
• 1:25
  regret, but then they start to blame you for it.
• 1:28
  Because my therapist asked me. I've been following me for a
• 1:30
  while. I know this story.
• 1:31
  My therapist asked me to describe how I felt guilt.
• 1:34
  She's like, Do you ever feel guilty about anything you do?
• 1:36
  I like, I feel guilty all the time, but but big old butt, big
• 1:42
  old juicy butt. My mind will start to blame the
• 1:48
  other person for why I feel guilty.
• 1:51
  You know my mind, we'll put it on to the other person as to why
• 1:55
  I am feeling the way that I'm feeling.
• 1:58
  That's how my mind works. It's like it it does these
• 2:01
  mental gymnastics to blame the other person.
• 2:04
  So when a narcissist has a guilty conscience, they're going
• 2:07
  to find try to find a way to shake loose of the guilt.
• 2:11
  They just are. When they have a guilty
• 2:13
  conscience, they're going to try to find a way to rationalize
• 2:16
  their behaviors or whatever they've done, that's what.
• 2:20
  They're that's what that's what they're going at.
• 2:21
  That's what a lot of them are going to do.
• 2:23
  They're going to try to find a way.
• 2:26
  To justify whatever action they have done.
• 2:30
  And you might, like I said, you might not know about the action.
• 2:33
  Y'all. You might not know about what
• 2:34
  they've done. A lot of times they have this
• 2:36
  stuff that they've done is behind the scenes and you
• 2:39
  haven't figured it out yet. They've gotten away with it, so
• 2:42
  to speak. You know, they've gotten away
• 2:45
  with it so far. Like you don't know what they've
• 2:46
  done behind the scenes, but the narcissist knows what they've
• 2:50
  done. They know they've done bad.
• 2:52
  Yeah, regardless of what people are going to tell you,
• 2:54
  narcissists know the difference between right and wrong.
• 2:56
  They just, yeah, they just do just keep it real.
• 2:59
  Narcissists know the difference between right and wrong.
• 3:02
  I'm just being that this is me speaking the absolute right
• 3:05
  there. They just do.
• 3:06
  So when you get, when you deal with a narcissistic person that
• 3:09
  is speaking that does, that knows the difference between
• 3:11
  right and wrong, they can feel guilty.
• 3:13
  They know what they've done wrong.
• 3:15
  Even if you don't know about it, they might feel bad about it.
• 3:17
  Like, damn, I shouldn't have did that.
• 3:19
  So if you get a narcissistic person with a guilty conscience,
• 3:21
  they are going to try to find a way to blame you, but their
• 3:26
  behaviors are going to shift around you.
• 3:33
  Yeah, your their behaviors are going to start to do a shift
• 3:40
  around you. Their behaviors are going to
• 3:43
  like if they cheated on you. I know cheating is easiest, but
• 3:47
  not all narcissist. The people are going to do that.
• 3:49
  But like, cheating is easy to talk about because I'm a lot of
• 3:53
  narcissists that are going to cheat on you.
• 3:56
  They could be stealing money, could be hiding funds, it could
• 3:59
  be going back, hiding the fact that they're drinking again,
• 4:02
  whatever it is, y'all whatever they've done wrong, like their
• 4:06
  behaviours might start to shift around you, like they might
• 4:11
  actually start treating you like this.
• 4:12
  Their behaviours can shift in a few different ways but the two,
• 4:15
  the two standard ways they might start to try to treat you bad,
• 4:18
  they might start to treat you good.
• 4:20
  Like a narcissist with a guilty conscience might that blames you
• 4:25
  is going to probably is going to try to start treating you badly.
• 4:30
  Like if they blame you for their cheating or they blame you for
• 4:33
  their their drinking Again, what if they blame you for whatever
• 4:37
  they have going on? They're going to start treating
• 4:39
  you badly and you don't know why.
• 4:41
  Out of nowhere they start to retreat within themselves or
• 4:44
  they become just easily triggered like hair trigger
• 4:48
  rage. You know, they might like like
• 4:50
  literally you do something small that's not even like bad and
• 4:54
  they just lose their minds on you.
• 4:56
  You know, you do something, you do something minute and they
• 4:59
  lose their damn minds on you. They like literally just fly off
• 5:03
  the handle at you and whatnot. So then that that happens quite
• 5:07
  a bit right there. They'll lose their minds, fly
• 5:09
  off the handle and just start going crazy on you and you like,
• 5:12
  oh, they give you the silent treatment.
• 5:13
  They won't talk to you at all. They just refuse, refuse to
• 5:15
  communicate with you. If y'all long distance then they
• 5:18
  just keep everything short. You know, they they ghost you
• 5:21
  keep everything short like they like y'all the communication
• 5:23
  will change because their body, like their conscience is riddled
• 5:27
  with guilt and they trying to shake loose of it because their
• 5:30
  guilt it's shame. Like shame is right behind the
• 5:33
  guilt. Like shame is peeking out.
• 5:37
  Like really behind the guilt like this is myself.
• 5:39
  Love journal self love journal is on Amazon.
• 5:41
  Y'all but like shame is like right behind the guilt like
• 5:44
  this. Just like looking peeking over
• 5:47
  the guilt, winking at you. Like, I see you wink and then
• 5:50
  the narcissist sees the shame. They're like, oh hell no, I got
• 5:52
  to get, I got to get rid of it. So they start doing more
• 5:55
  shameful things. It's crazy how the shame spiral
• 5:57
  works. Instead of just admitting things
• 5:59
  they've done wrong and trying to take accountability for, they do
• 6:02
  more shameful things. They start spiraling out of
• 6:04
  control with shame. And they if I say you got to
• 6:06
  protect yourself against a lot of narcissists and toxic people,
• 6:08
  y'all, like seriously, Like, this is what they're going to do
• 6:12
  to you, Doug. This is the type of stuff
• 6:13
  they're going to do. You know, this is the type of
• 6:15
  stuff they're going to keep. They they have to keep going on
• 6:19
  with, Like, realistically, like, they might start treating you
• 6:23
  bad because they feel bad about what they've done to you is
• 6:25
  crazy, you know? But the flip side of things can
• 6:29
  happen too, where a narcissist with a guilty conscience tries
• 6:33
  to make up to it. They tries to be apologetic to
• 6:36
  you without apologizing, and you don't even know it.
• 6:38
  Like, you don't even know what they've done, but they know that
• 6:41
  they know they know they've done it.
• 6:43
  So they started to just act weirdly and strangely about you.
• 6:45
  They like, like if they do something to you, their guilty
• 6:50
  conscience might actually tribute them to try to love bomb
• 6:52
  you. So they started doing lovely
• 6:55
  dovey stuff out of nowhere. Planning dinners, planning
• 6:57
  dates. They could have literally, they
• 6:59
  could have done something bad behind the scenes and cheated on
• 7:02
  you, and they're making up for subconsciously by taking you out
• 7:06
  right now. You know what?
• 7:07
  I know we haven't been at dinner in three years because I haven't
• 7:11
  asked you. Let's go to dinner tonight.
• 7:13
  Let's go put up, put on your dancing shoes, put on your best
• 7:16
  fitted suit. Let's go to dinner.
• 7:18
  You know, let's go do this. Let's go dancing.
• 7:20
  Let's go to their their favorite wine bar.
• 7:22
  Let's go smoke a cigar. Whatever it is, you know,
• 7:25
  whatever reason that you like to do, like they don't feel bad, so
• 7:29
  they try to treat you good. So a narcissistic person with a
• 7:33
  guilty conscience can actually start treating you better
• 7:36
  because they feel bad about what they've done.
• 7:39
  Like I said, they could have literally went and cheated on
• 7:41
  you and did something horrible to you and now they feel bad
• 7:45
  about it. So they started treating you
• 7:46
  better. They they they've broken a
• 7:50
  promise to you like they I promise to stop drinking now
• 7:53
  they hide behind your back taking like they got a, you know
• 7:57
  this is this ginger ale, but they drinking and like it.
• 7:59
  This is ginger ale, but it's not ginger.
• 8:01
  You know what I mean? It's like it's ginger ale.
• 8:06
  I got a look kick to it. It's shaking.
• 8:08
  You know it's really rumble mints.
• 8:11
  It's my favorite. Y'all want to get Lee Hammock
• 8:13
  something for Christmas? Rumble mints on the menu, you
• 8:15
  know that's my favorite. My favorite adult beverages.
• 8:17
  Rumble mints. But it's alcohol in there.
• 8:22
  Not, not in this bottle, right. This is really just ginger.
• 8:24
  But like, a narcissistic person could really hide it.
• 8:27
  You know, they're drinking, they're drinking again, but
• 8:29
  like, now they feel bad, so they try to treat you good.
• 8:32
  It's a wild mindset to have. They feel so bad about treating
• 8:35
  you. They're doing something so bad
• 8:36
  that they try treating you good because of it.
• 8:39
  It is so ignorant. But like, it's the mindset.
• 8:41
  It's it's how they cope. It's a coping mechanism.
• 8:44
  It's like putting instead of putting their thumb in their
• 8:46
  mouth and sucking on it, they do they do nice deeds or they do
• 8:49
  bad deeds. You see, they just can't be be
• 8:52
  normal and just like, damn, they're you know, I'm not saying
• 8:54
  narcissists are not normal people.
• 8:55
  Obviously they can't just be act like a normal person and just
• 8:59
  apologize for what they've done and just actually try to work on
• 9:02
  fixing it. They start doing more shameful
• 9:04
  things or they try to love bomb utility.
• 9:06
  So when you do, forget it. So if you do find out what
• 9:09
  they've done you that you've been they've been so nice to you
• 9:13
  know they've been so nice to me though so should I hold them
• 9:15
  accountable Should I get mad. They've been nice to me for the
• 9:17
  last things have been actually been pretty good the last few
• 9:20
  weeks Now I found out the whole cheating drinking scandal.
• 9:23
  Damn it. I don't.
• 9:25
  I just like things the way they are so you don't tell.
• 9:27
  You see they've manipulated you to.
• 9:30
  They were they wouldn't. It's preempt sometimes can be
• 9:31
  preemptive with them treating you good just in case you find
• 9:34
  out it's not always because they have a good way the good
• 9:36
  conscience makes. It makes them go into
• 9:38
  self-defense mode and do stuff preemptively and do things
• 9:43
  preemptively to just in case you find out or something like that,
• 9:47
  you know, so they they start treating you good just in case
• 9:50
  you find out. So yeah, it's it's it's they
• 9:52
  doing good behaviours, but it's come for a bad reason, you know,
• 9:56
  it's for a bad reason. And then what happens?
• 9:59
  Y'all it really is, a narcissist with the guilty conscience can
• 10:02
  literally do so many different things, can go in so many
• 10:04
  different directions that it messes with your head.
• 10:07
  And all the time. A lot of times that's what it's
• 10:09
  supposed to do. That's literally what it's
• 10:11
  supposed to do there. It's supposed to mess with your
• 10:13
  head. It's supposed to do that type of
• 10:15
  stuff, that type of stuff, that type of stuff.
• 10:18
  Like where my s s go, where the hell did my s s go?
• 10:21
  Like, who took my s s? You know, I was like that type
• 10:24
  of stuff. Like what the hell?
