Transcript
- 0:00So do narcissists know what they are doing?
- 0:04That's the question we're answering today, y'all, I know I
- 0:06look, I get this question so much that I, it deserves its own
- 0:13video. So that's what that's what we
- 0:15talked to them today. Y'all, that question right
- 0:17there. Do narcissists have any idea the
- 0:20impact that they are having on the people around them or their
- 0:24environment or whoever? We're tackling the net right
- 0:28now. Y'all know, I got the camera way
- 0:29back. I'm trying new things out.
- 0:31We, we, we experiment, experimenting with the channel
- 0:34right now. Let me know which thing.
- 0:36But yes, a lot of narcissistic people absolutely do know that
- 0:41they are doing you wrong. Regardless of whatever they say,
- 0:46regardless of how they're going about handling the situation,
- 0:49what it, whatever they're doing to you, a lot of them
- 0:52absolutely, positively, positively know what they are
- 0:57doing to you. That's just factual.
- 1:00Well, Lee, how do you know that they know what they're doing?
- 1:03Because they don't do it to everybody.
- 1:08They don't do it to everybody. They're not the same in public
- 1:12as they are in private. They don't, they don't yell.
- 1:15Some of them don't. They don't yell or scream at you
- 1:18in public, but they do it behind closed doors.
- 1:20Why is that? Is it because they know that
- 1:23they will be looked at funny if they yelled at you and scream at
- 1:25you or put their hands on you in public?
- 1:28Is that it right there? Could that possibly be it right
- 1:31there? Let's think about that.
- 1:36Right there is. Could that possibly be the
- 1:38reason right there that a lot of narcissists and types of people
- 1:41behave the way that they behave because they know that if they
- 1:44treated you the same way in public, public that they do in
- 1:49private, that they will be chastised, that they will be
- 1:51judged, that they will look like a bad person, that their
- 1:55reputations would absolutely be questioned.
- 2:00Their reputations could be tainted in some way, shape or
- 2:03form, now, couldn't they? So that's something you have to
- 2:05think about right there. Well, Lee, see.
- 2:07Well, Lee, well, what my partner said, he blacks out.
- 2:10He doesn't know what he's doing to me or she blacks out or they
- 2:13black out and they don't know what they're doing to me.
- 2:16If somebody tells you that they black out and they don't know
- 2:19what they did or they have no, no memory of what they did to
- 2:23you, that's worse. That's worse.
- 2:26I did y'all, I did a Zoom call with a lady a while ago and she,
- 2:31she just happened to have her partner on there.
- 2:33Yep, I do Zoom calls with couples sometimes.
- 2:35Right. She just happened to have her
- 2:37partner on there. And the partner said he had no
- 2:39memory of, of putting his hands around her throat until she
- 2:43passed out. He had no memory of doing it.
- 2:45He's like, well, I don't remember doing that.
- 2:47Huh. And she's like, yeah, he don't
- 2:48remember doing it. I was like, that's scarier.
- 2:52And she was, she was like, how's that scarier?
- 2:55I, I said, if he has no memory of doing it.
- 2:59I said if he has no memory of doing it, how is he going to
- 3:02stop it from happening again? Think about that.
- 3:08If they don't remember doing it or they have no control or they
- 3:12they don't know why they did it, how can they stop it from
- 3:15happening again? So before you go back to your
- 3:18lying, cheating, abusive, manipulative partner, ask
- 3:22yourself if they give you the excuse I didn't know what I
- 3:25doing. I had no memory of what I did.
- 3:27That's worse. If they don't understand or know
- 3:30what they did, how can they stop it from happening again?
- 3:35They go out there right there. If they don't know what they did
- 3:38or what they've done, how can they stop it from happening
- 3:41again? That's what you need to ask
- 3:43yourself right there. It's one of those questions that
- 3:45you need to have with yourself right there to understand how to
- 3:48move forward or how to protect yourself or how to stay safe.
- 3:51If they claim they don't know what they did, how can they stop
- 3:55them from doing? How can they stop themselves
- 3:57from doing it again? A lot of them absolutely know
- 4:02what they have done to you. A lot of them absolutely know
- 4:04what they have put you through, right?
- 4:07A lot of them do. A lot of them absolutely know
- 4:11that right there. So when they try to just say I
- 4:13don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what's wrong, and
- 4:15they're not trying to figure it out, you're in danger.
- 4:20Maybe not physical danger, but emotional danger nonetheless.
- 4:24And I feel like a lot of people downplay emotional danger.
- 4:28Like it's not tough to like it's not scary as hell to deal with.
- 4:31Emotional danger is absolutely worse.
- 4:34I mean, no, not absolutely worse.
- 4:35It can be worse because it lasts longer.
- 4:39Emotional danger lasts longer. The wounds from emotional danger
- 4:43could absolutely, you could be healing those for a very, very
- 4:46long time. You can, you could be healing
- 4:50the wounds of emotional danger for an extremely long time.
- 4:54Like they're like, I'm just telling y'all, like, I want
- 4:56y'all to be safe. I want you to protect yourself.
- 4:58So do narcissists know what they're doing?
- 5:00A lot of them do, yes. Because they don't do it to
- 5:04y'all. They don't look.
- 5:05Yeah, if they don't do it to everybody, I can see if there
- 5:07was in public, yell in the scrutiny, being abusive to
- 5:10everybody, they might. You know what I'm saying?
- 5:13You kind of you kind of off, but if they're just doing it to you
- 5:18and nobody else, they go out in public.
- 5:20If they go out in public, they're shaking everybody's
- 5:22hand. Like how you doing?
- 5:23How you doing? You're great, you're funny,
- 5:25you're amazing, but they treat you like crap.
- 5:30That shows you right there what's going on.
- 5:34That shows you right there what they're doing.
- 5:36That shows you right there what they've been manifesting and how
- 5:38it how how the situation is going right there.
- 5:41They're showing you that they know what they're doing.
- 5:45They'll look, they'll be treating somebody else good
- 5:47right in front of you and they'll look at you and smile or
- 5:50smirk at you. They're like, you're such an
- 5:51amazing person. I love giving compliments and
- 5:57you over there hurt you like what the hell?
- 5:59You don't give me compliments. Why are you giving these
- 6:02compliments to the strangers? What I do wrong?
- 6:05You see how tough that is to deal with right there when
- 6:07you're dealing with it emotionally or emotionally or
- 6:10physically abusive person, This not being the same way to
- 6:13everybody. You makes you feel like you're
- 6:15the problem and they tell you that you're the problem.
- 6:18I only act like this with you. So the next time, the next time
- 6:22your abusive partner or parent says that right there, I only
- 6:26act this way with you. Ask yourself, why is that?
- 6:30It's because you know you can get away with it behind closed
- 6:33doors. Because I can't prove it because
- 6:35I haven't recorded it. I have no documentation of it.
- 6:37You don't leave bruises like yelling doesn't leave bruises.
- 6:41Emotional abuse doesn't leave bruises.
- 6:44Is that why or is you? Are you making it up?
- 6:48Are you lying? Are you trying to blame me for?
- 6:51Are you trying to blame me for being a victim of my own abuse?
- 6:54What? Why?
- 6:57Is that why you treated me? Why?
- 6:58Ask yourself? Ask yourself and ask them that
- 7:00question. Be careful.
- 7:02If they've been physically abusive or they've lost their
- 7:04mind, they can use it. They can do it again, y'all, But
- 7:07it's something you have to ask yourself.
- 7:08Why is it? They'll try to make you seem
- 7:11like you are at fault for your own abuse.
- 7:15You know what you're doing here. You know what you did.
- 7:17You know how you're behaving, you know how you're acting.
- 7:20They make it seem like you're the craziest, most dangerous
- 7:23person in the world. Why is that?
- 7:28You see this thing that that was a question right there.
- 7:31You have to ask yourself right there, because narcissistic
- 7:33people are going to try to make you feel like you're responsible
- 7:36for what happens to you. You're responsible for what
- 7:39you've been through. You're responsible for the abuse
- 7:41that you endured. I don't treat anybody else like
- 7:44this because nobody else treats me like you treat me.
- 7:47Nobody else makes me snap like you make me snap.
- 7:49So you are it's your fault you. I'm abusing you.
- 7:51What? You see what I'm saying, And
- 7:58because you might be a survivor or a victim of narcissistic
- 8:02abuse or domestic violence, whatever the case may be, you
- 8:05might be a victim of this. Sometimes you will start to
- 8:08blame yourself because you see them treating everybody
- 8:10differently. You see them behaving
- 8:12differently. You see them smiling and being
- 8:14cordial and friendly and kind, caring, compassionate, sometimes
- 8:18empathetic in public. They watch you Boo Hoo cry while
- 8:23you're after your parent passed away or your dog passed away,
- 8:26something like that. They watch you Boo Hoo cry and
- 8:28told you to shut the hell up. But you see, like they they
- 8:32they're at a few somebody else's funeral.
- 8:34They hugging and embracing everybody like come on, got you,
- 8:37got you. So, so sorry you went through
- 8:38that. And but they told you to shut.
- 8:40They told you to shut the hell up.
- 8:42So you sometimes you might feel like you are the problem, but
- 8:45that's what they want you to feel.
- 8:47Y'all. They want you to feel like you
- 8:49are the problem. They want you to feel like you
- 8:52are because of your own abuse. They want you to feel this way
- 8:55because they benefit from you feeling bad.
- 8:59They absolutely benefit from you feeling bad about what you going
- 9:02through, what you what, what you've endured.
- 9:04They benefit from that. You don't you see what I'm
- 9:07saying? They benefit from your
- 9:08confusion. They benefit from your from your
- 9:10like from your struggle. They benefit from that.
- 9:14So they're going to keep doing things that they benefit from.
- 9:18And I said, the longer like, how do I say this?
- 9:21The longer you stay in these abusive, manipulative
- 9:24situations, the tougher it is to leave.
- 9:26But the more excuses that they feel like they have to keep
- 9:29abusing you because they feel like your presence in their
- 9:33relationship gives them permission to treat you a
- 9:35certain type of way. You if it was so bad, why don't
- 9:39you just leave? If I'm such a horrible person,
- 9:43why are you still here? You see that mentality?
- 9:46If I'm so bad, why you don't just leave me?
- 9:49If I'm such a horrible person or abuse, if I'm an abuser, why are
- 9:53you with me? You must like the abuse, right?
- 9:56Am I right? You see that mentality that so
- 10:00many people experience and so many people go through right?
- 10:02There you see it, you understand it, you probably dealt with it
- 10:05before. So that's something that you
- 10:07have to reconcile with as you're trying to heal and grow and get
- 10:10through narcissistic abuse. That that person does know what
- 10:13they're doing. And if they claim to not know
- 10:15what they're doing, they, if they claim to not know that
- 10:18they're being abusive, ask, ask them why, why they don't do it
- 10:21to somebody else. I'm not abusive to you.
- 10:25Why don't you treat your sister like this or your brother like
- 10:27this? Why don't you talk to your mom
- 10:29like you talked to me? Why don't you talk to your dad?
- 10:32Why don't you talk to your friend, your besties?
- 10:33Why don't you talk to them the same way you talk to me?
- 10:36Why don't you treat them the same way you treat me?
- 10:39Because they know what they're doing.
- 10:40They know it's bull. They know it's BS, they
- 10:43absolutely do, but they want to convince you that they don't
- 10:46know. They want to convince you that
- 10:48it's not BS. They want to convince you that
- 10:50you are the you are not the victim here, they are the
- 10:52victim. That's what they want to
- 10:54convince you. As of y'all that's I'm just
- 10:56serious. They want to convince you that
- 10:58they are the victim and not you. That's what happens a lot of
- 11:02times in relationships. They want to convince you that
- 11:04you are not the victim here. They are.
- 11:08They really are. They they feel like they might
- 11:10actually feel like they are the victim area.
- 11:12So these situations get deeper as it they kind of started to
- 11:15bury you beneath the mess. You got to understand that a lot
- 11:19of times that's what's going to happen.
- 11:20You know, a bug just flew in front of my office following.
- 11:22I was like where they want a little, little bugs that
- 11:24attracted to the light because it got darker here they were
- 11:28flying in front of the light. The bug is the narcissist and it
- 11:31knows what it's doing. I knew it flew in front of my
- 11:32face. Why did in front of my Why
