- 0:10I see my face, I hear my voice. I use my platform on social
- 0:12media to raise awareness for MPD, get more people into
- 0:15therapy like myself, and also validate the victims, survivors
- 0:18and thrivers. Thrivers, thrivers, Thrivers of

- 0:24Today's episode is going to be about how narcissists hate
- 0:28change. Some narcissist.
- 0:30Some some SOM some narcissist. Hey, change.
- 0:35I don't speak for all narcissist y'all you know.
- 0:38But before we hop into today's episode, if y'all did not know
- 0:42the kids book, remember it's not your fault.
- 0:45Is now on Amazon To help kids deal with, you know, to
- 0:50understand that they were not in control of the circumstances
- 0:53that they were born into helps. It helps.
- 0:55Y'all. Lee Hammock.
- 0:57Remember, it's not your fault on Amazon.
- 1:00But yeah, yeah, some narcissistic.
- 1:02I know. So I know this is going to go
- 1:04against a lot of the stuff that you have heard and learned
- 1:07about. Narcissistic people talk to
- 1:09people, whatever. It's going to go against a lot
- 1:12of. Because you you probably heard
- 1:13that narcissists change jobs a lot.
- 1:17Narcissists are never happy with one thing.
- 1:20They always try to move on to find the next best thing.
- 1:22Narcissist this. Narcissist that.
- 1:23Yeah. So, yeah, is so is that true in
- 1:26that space right there? If there's some truth to that
- 1:29right there, like how narcissistic people, like, move
- 1:32on quickly to relationships, to jobs, to careers, to majors in
- 1:36college, to sports or whatever, to friendship groups, to cities,
- 1:40they move around a lot. Is that true?
- 1:42For a lot of narcissists, yes. But there's a certain sect, A
- 1:45sector of narcissistic people that hate change.
- 1:49They they love for things to remain the same.
- 1:53Because within the when things remain the same, I am
- 1:56comfortable, I am safe. Nothing can hurt or harm me or
- 2:01whatever in these spaces. Nothing can.
- 2:03You know, there's a lot of this stuff right here.
- 2:07It's just in that space. So there's a lot of these
- 2:09dynamics and a lot of these situations that arise.
- 2:12So if you're dealing with narcissists, toxic people, just
- 2:14understand this. Some of them, y'all literally,
- 2:17are out trying to remain the same.
- 2:19Some of them are out trying to be safe.
- 2:22Some of them are. And there's, like I said, safety
- 2:25is normalcy. Safety is the same thing in and
- 2:29out every single day. Safety is having the same job.
- 2:32Every single having the same job because you're afraid to take
- 2:35the next step. Like I said, this is not me
- 2:37saying that there's anything wrong with keeping the same job.
- 2:40Like, if you've been working the same job for 30 years, hey,
- 2:43that's hey, I know a lot of people who've done that, you
- 2:46know, Congrats to you. That's that takes a lot to do
- 2:48that. But this is me saying that some
- 2:52narcissistic people don't want to step outside their comfort
- 2:54zone because they like this bubble.
- 2:57They like this toxic ass bubble. Intent matters.
- 3:00I don't. So not only do I not like
- 3:04change, I don't like, you know, for things to change around me.
- 3:08I don't like for you to go for a different job.
- 3:11I don't like for you to go have make new friends.
- 3:13I don't like for you to do this and do that.
- 3:16If I don't like it, you can't do it either.
- 3:19If you're going to be in in my life, you're going to make the
- 3:21choice to be in my life. You can't do this either.
- 3:25You know, if I don't like said thing, you cannot do it either.
- 3:30So they, some of them do not like change and they will fight
- 3:34tooth and nail, tooth and nail, ear, hair, nose, eyes, eyebrow,
- 3:40eyelash. They will fight with every ounce
- 3:43of their body to keep things the same.
- 3:46They will y'all could say it's scary.
- 3:48It's scary outside the comfort zone, outside the narcissistic
- 3:51bubble. It's scary to take to take a
- 3:53chance and step outside of this. It's scary as hell.
- 3:57It just is. It's one of those spaces.
- 3:59It's one of those dynamics that you have to understand that if
- 4:01you were with a narcissistic person, not only are they going
- 4:03to try to hold themselves back, they will hold you back too.
- 4:08They will hold the kids back. They will hold everybody in this
- 4:11space back. If you are around me, you are
- 4:15going or you're going to get held back as well because I
- 4:17don't want you to change. Some narcissists have
- 4:21abandonment issues, y'all, and they all have this fear of
- 4:23change. If things change, I'll lose what
- 4:26I have. So they will work hard as hell
- 4:28to sometimes sabotage some of them.
- 4:31Y'all will sabotage themselves so they don't have to change.
- 4:34They'll. This is where self sabotage
- 4:36comes in a lot. Hey babe, I'm up for.
- 4:38I'm up for a promotion at work, but I don't know if I'm going to
- 4:40take it because then this will happen, then that will happen,
- 4:43then this will happen, then that will happen.
- 4:45They're always talking themselves out of stuff.
- 4:47A lot of negative self talk. They'd always talk to themselves
- 4:50out of taking the next step or making the next move or doing
- 4:53something along those lines. They always do that type of
- 4:55stuff. Y'all.
- 4:55So if they're continuously doing that type of stuff, what are you
- 4:58going to, how do you, how do you deal with that?
- 5:00How do you fight against that? How do you fight that?
- 5:02You know you can't, you can't force them to change.
- 5:05Of course you can't. Like and a lot of narcissistic
- 5:08people, y'all, they not only don't want to change, they not
- 5:12only don't want to change jobs and stuff like that, they don't
- 5:15want to change their mental health.
- 5:16They're fine with who they are. If I change who I am, I might
- 5:20lose you. If I change my mental health, I
- 5:23might lose you. I might lose you.
- 5:28I might lose my family. You know, if you change jobs,
- 5:32you might find somebody better than me.
- 5:33If you change careers, you might find somebody that's better than
- 5:36me. If you go back to school, you
- 5:37might find somebody that's better than me.
- 5:38You see how that change, that fear keeps them from things,
- 5:41keep them, keeps them from things, from wanting things to
- 5:44change. And not only is it that y'all,
- 5:47not only is it not changing jobs and relationships and stuff like
- 5:50that, it's changing locations. If they don't want to move to
- 5:52anywhere else, they buy a house. The damn house is falling apart.
- 5:56There's nothing else like they're they're like the house
- 5:58is falling apart. You can get out of it right now,
- 6:01but they refuse to do it because this is their house.
- 6:03You see what I'm saying? They don't want to date.
- 6:05The house is toxic. The floor falling in rats live
- 6:08like rats. Got a bedroom.
- 6:10Roaches got a little roaches got the upstairs.
- 6:12It's and they refuse it. They don't want that change.
- 6:15Some of them hate change and they will fight tooth and nails
- 6:17to stay in this damn house because they don't want they
- 6:21afraid of that change in their life.
- 6:23You know, because change is scary.
- 6:24Change can bring on the shame. Change, changing anything up can
- 6:28open the door for failure. And failure brings in the shame.
- 6:32If I fail, shame is going to come get me.
- 6:34If I don't succeed, shame is going to come get me.
- 6:36You said that words right there. If I don't move forward, shame
- 6:39is going to come get me. If I stay still.
- 6:42If I stay, it's kind of like, this is how narcissist is the
- 6:47voice shame. It's kind of like a little boy
- 6:50or a little girl, a little a little kid under the under the
- 6:53bed, right. And they know there's a they
- 6:55they just think that there's a monster out there in the room,
- 6:58right? It's just like I if I stay under
- 7:01the bed, the monster can't get me.
- 7:04You know, if I leave, leave the room and I try to, I can maybe
- 7:07have the chance of finding safety, getting away from this
- 7:09monstrous situation. But no, if I stand in the bed, I
- 7:12don't have to do any of that. You see what I'm saying?
- 7:15It's just like they're scared to take that action.
- 7:16And like I said, not only do they do that, they don't want to
- 7:19go on trips. They don't want to not just not
- 7:20only move, they don't want to travel.
- 7:22They don't want to go on trips. They don't want to go to
- 7:25parties. Yeah, they they want to remain
- 7:27in the same place because this is their toxic comfort zone
- 7:31where they treat people horribly.
- 7:33They are unhappy here, but they're safe here.
- 7:35And because they are unhappy, they're going to make everybody
- 7:38around them, including you, wife, husband, kids, whatever
- 7:42role you play, they're going to make everybody else around them
- 7:45unhappy as hell as well. So that's the space that a lot
- 7:48of people fall into. But you don't realize it.
- 7:52You know what I mean? It's a lot of different moving
- 7:54pieces. There's a lot of the situation
- 7:56can get very uniquely toxic very, very fast.
- 8:00So that's why I tell people, if you're dealing with a narcissist
- 8:02or toxic person or whoever, just understand that that person
- 8:05might want to remain the same. And you can't drag them along
- 8:08because they're going to fight tooth and nails to keep you
- 8:10there. They're going to fight tooth and
- 8:12nails to keep you here. I don't want more kids.
- 8:14I don't want to move. I don't want to go back to
- 8:15school. I don't want to go to do this.
- 8:17They hold themselves back out because out of fear, and they
- 8:20treat you horribly because they're unhappy.
- 8:22They're unhappy because they're holding themselves back and they
- 8:25treat you and they treat you horribly because of something
- 8:27that's going on within themselves.
- 8:29Isn't that a wild mindset to have?
- 8:31Isn't it? Isn't that Absolutely.
- 8:32Doesn't that sound absolutely crazy to think about sometimes
- 8:36right there? Doesn't that sound insane to
- 8:38think about right there? Like the person is holding
- 8:40themselves back and mad at you because they're not happy?
- 8:44I wish I had more money. You should have took that
- 8:46promotion. Why are you?
- 8:47I didn't take the promotion. You see what I'm saying?
- 8:50They get mad because they don't have enough money, but they
- 8:52turned down the promotion because they were scared.
- 8:54So they blame you because they don't have enough money.
- 8:56Now they're angry as hell at you, and they're going to blame
- 8:59you for holding them back somehow, some way, shape or
- 9:01form. It's always going to be your
- 9:02fault. Your fault as well.
- 9:04The longer you stay with them through their trials and
- 9:06tribulations and they don't succeed, the more that they're
- 9:09going to blame you for not succeeding.
- 9:11You see what I'm saying? Because what's the common
- 9:12denominator here? You.
- 9:14You're still here. Oh, if you were unhappy, you
- 9:18would leave. I'm just telling you out now.
- 9:19The mind is the mindset is a very uniquely toxic thing to
- 9:24think about. Some narcissists don't like
- 9:26change. Like I said, are there
- 9:27narcissistic people out there who move on quickly who change
- 9:30jobs, who change careers? Hell yeah.
- 9:32They seem like the they seem like the the the narcissist that
- 9:35is most like the most talked about.
- 9:37The narcissistic robot, resetting, talking too fast,
- 9:46rebooted. That seems to be the most talked
- 9:50about. Former narcissist is the ones
- 9:52that move around fast, the one that bounce around a lot, the
- 9:54ones that change jobs and change careers and like to live life on
- 9:57the edge. But like I said, some of them
- 9:59like to sit in their like to sit in their sorrow in the wallow.
- 10:03It's like they say it's like a pig sitting in the mud.
- 10:06They like to sit in and wallow in sorrow and shame and things
- 10:08like that. But you are in control of who
- 10:11you are and where you want to go.
- 10:12You earn control of who you want to be and what do you see
- 10:15yourself in the next 5-10, fifteen, 20 years?
- 10:17You know what I'm saying? They are comfortable where they
- 10:20are. Are you comfortable here?
- 10:22Are you comfortable here? Some narcissistic people are
- 10:25comfortable right where they are and they will tell you.
- 10:28If you're not happy here, then leave.
- 10:30And guess what happens? You don't leave.
- 10:32They assume that you're happy Is that it's so black and white.
- 10:35If you don't leave me, I'm assuming that you are happy.
- 10:39Are you not? What?
- 10:40Does that not make sense to y'all?
- 10:42You see what I'm saying? You see how black and white and
- 10:43straightforward it is. There's no Gray area.
- 10:45If you stay with me but claim you are unhappy, then you're
- 10:49doing that to yourself. That's the mindset of a lot of
- 10:53narcissistic people. Y'all.
- 10:54Some of them do not like change. Some of them like to stay in the
- 10:57same situation, in the same car, same clothes, same.
- 11:01They don't change their lives up and they expect you to tolerate
- 11:03it. And if you tolerate it, a lot of
- 11:05times you end up living a life of boredom and unhappiness and
- 11:09you'll be sad as hell. Many ways y'all had to hop off
- 11:12and do this one-on-one really quick.
