Transcript
- 0:00So do narcissists ever think about you when a relationship
- 0:04ends? Like when it's over and done
- 0:07with? Do narcissistic people ever?
- 0:10Like, do you ever cross their mind?
- 0:12Do they ever miss you or regret what they did to you?
- 0:15Does that ever happen? That's what we're talking about
- 0:18today, y'all. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:20Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist.
- 0:21Here to give you an inside look at the mind of a narcissist and
- 0:26a bunch of other things as well, y'all.
- 0:28Yeah, we going to hop right into it.
- 0:30I saw this question in my comment section and this is
- 0:33somebody responding to somebody else.
- 0:35It's like, I just want to know, do do they ever think about you?
- 0:38Do they ever miss you when it's all said and done?
- 0:40Like I I miss mine greatly. I just wanted to do narcissists
- 0:44ever miss you and things like that.
- 0:45I'm just like, look, I know so me, so me personally, I know
- 0:50that at the end of the day, most people want to know that they
- 0:53mattered, right? You want to know that you
- 0:55mattered to this narcissist or to to this toxic person.
- 0:58I completely understand that. Or just anybody.
- 1:00Most people want to know that they mattered just in general,
- 1:04right. So I that's an understandable
- 1:06question for me that to get right.
- 1:08Don't don't feel bad about leaving a question like that.
- 1:10There's are you still healing? Yeah, but that's going to come.
- 1:13That's going to come me as a narcissist y'all, I will tell
- 1:18you OK, let me back up real quick.
- 1:21Let me preface this. Let me.
- 1:23So let me leave with this right here.
- 1:25If they do happen to think about you, if I say they do miss you
- 1:29or maybe they regret what they did a little bit or they do
- 1:31think about you from time to time, it does not mean that you
- 1:36should go back to them or reach out to them or break no contact
- 1:40or try to ask somebody how they're doing This is that y'all
- 1:44do not this. If you're looking for a sign,
- 1:46this ain't it. OK, now that now that we're
- 1:53clear on that, do narcissists everything about you?
- 1:56A lot of them do y'all Most, I would say most narcissists do
- 1:59think about you when the relationship ends.
- 2:02That's just the truth. And this is not me trying to get
- 2:04no brownie points will Italy. You're just trying to just make
- 2:07us feel better. No, no, I'm just being truthful
- 2:11to you. And look, that's why I said in
- 2:13the beginning, that's why I LED with the point.
- 2:15Just because they think about you does not mean that you
- 2:18should reach out to them, does not mean that they care about
- 2:21you or that they will treat you better or that you should give
- 2:23them another chance. You see how that goes right
- 2:25there, though? That's not what that means right
- 2:28there. You got it.
- 2:30Good. So it's just like a lot of
- 2:32narcissists, including myself, right?
- 2:34We do think about our exes or the old supply.
- 2:37Even when we seem to be happy with the new supply, even when
- 2:41we move on quickly, we'll leave. They moved on super quickly.
- 2:45And I just don't know, like it just about like they, it just
- 2:48seemed like they moved on so fast and they're so happy and
- 2:50they're living their life to the fullest extent.
- 2:52They're doing everything that they wanted me to do that I
- 2:55wanted them to do. They're giving the next person
- 2:57everything that I cried and begged for and pleaded for.
- 2:59They just, there's no way that they're thinking about me.
- 3:02What if y'all, what if they're doing all of this other stuff
- 3:07for the new person because they're thinking about you think
- 3:11about like this, y'all? In order to give the next person
- 3:14everything that you wanted, I have to think about what you
- 3:17wanted. Like, I can't just give them
- 3:20stuff off top of my head if I know it's exactly what you
- 3:23wanted. So let's just say my, my ex's
- 3:25name is, let's just say Ashley, right?
- 3:28Ashley's universal name. Let's just say Ashley wanted me
- 3:32to take her to Carowinds, and I think it's in Charlotte.
- 3:35Charlotte. Enough, Connor.
- 3:37Yeah, I haven't been to a theme park ever.
- 3:39Carowinds. Disney, Disney.
- 3:42You know, Disney in Florida. Let's say we're on a Disneyland
- 3:45trip. Disney World, whatever.
- 3:46Y'all in Florida actually wanted to go to Disneyland forever.
- 3:50And I was just like, no, we don't have the time, we don't
- 3:52have the money. I don't want to go.
- 3:53I hate being around people. I hate Disney.
- 3:56Da, da, da. I know you love it.
- 3:57I know you. You dress like the You dressed
- 4:01like Elsa every night before you go to sleep.
- 4:03I get that right? I get that.
- 4:08But I just don't want to go. I'm never going to Disney.
- 4:11Two weeks after we break up, I got my new Boo Shannon at
- 4:15Disney. Now, do you think I'm just
- 4:18thinking of Disney World for no reason?
- 4:20You think you think Disney World just crossed the cross?
- 4:23Just crossed my mind. What would make this new?
- 4:25What would make Shannon happy? Oh, Disney World?
- 4:29Who wanted to go to Disney World?
- 4:30You see what I'm saying? If I'm love bombing the new
- 4:33supply with the stuff that you asked for, am I not thinking
- 4:38about you? You see, they're like a person
- 4:42right there, don't they? I'm like, wait a minute, there's
- 4:43a tree. Who back there?
- 4:46I started watching Stranger Things here recently.
- 4:48I'm like, who back there? Who was that?
- 4:50Identify yourself. But seriously, just like I said,
- 4:58just because they they have to think about you sometimes, y'all
- 5:01you don't like, if y'all spend any amount of time together,
- 5:05they're going to think about you.
- 5:07If y'all spend any amount of time together, any, any
- 5:11discernible amount of time together, they're absolutely
- 5:13going to think about you, right? They have to.
- 5:17Yo, they don't forget you just don't forget people.
- 5:19Do narcissists ever forget? No, yo, they remember what you
- 5:22they remember what you did to them 1011 years ago when they do
- 5:26something wrong to you and they're trying to they're trying
- 5:31to blame deflect. They remember where they were
- 5:33and where you were and what you did 11 years ago, but somehow
- 5:36they forgot about you overnight. Come on now think about that
- 5:39narcissist. Don't forget in like in order to
- 5:43try to heal. And this is my, my true belief
- 5:45about a lot of narcissist, right?
- 5:46And before we try to heal, like we don't heal the way non
- 5:50narcissists do, right, the way non narcissistic people do, we
- 5:54don't heal that way. We, we can't, we don't go to
- 5:57therapy. We don't like sitting with the
- 5:59pain or the shame or the regret or the remote.
- 6:01We don't like sitting with that stuff.
- 6:03So we start to, in order to avoid those feelings, we throw
- 6:07ourselves into a new relationship.
- 6:10This is why we start love bombing the new supply.
- 6:13This is why we give them the things that you wanted, right?
- 6:17You know, another time, another reason they give the the new
- 6:19supplier what you wanted is because they know you wanted it.
- 6:22And a lot of times they assume that you're watching or they're
- 6:24assume they're assuming that you're going to figure out about
- 6:27it and they're going to this is going to mess with you.
- 6:29This is what happens a lot of time child just get just let you
- 6:32know a lot of times they're assuming that you're watching
- 6:35anyway, so they're giving a new person what you wanted, assuming
- 6:38that you're going to be watching it and assuming that it's going
- 6:41to hurt your feelings to make you feel worth less, not
- 6:44worthless, worth less. Well, it may be worthless, but
- 6:48worth less 2 words, not worthless like one word, but
- 6:52this was this is what happens. This is what you have to deal
- 6:55with when you have a narcissistic person right here,
- 6:56y'all Yes, they do think about you sometimes when the
- 6:59relationship ends, but ask yourself this question right
- 7:01here before you start swooning and falling like oh Lisa, they
- 7:04thought about me. No, ask yourself what they're
- 7:07thinking about. Are they thinking about how how
- 7:10good they were to you and how good you were?
- 7:12Are they just missing just amazing relationship they that
- 7:15y'all had together or or or do they think about the best that
- 7:19they've done and got away with? What are they thinking about
- 7:23you? What are they missing about you?
- 7:25You see, that's things that you have to ask.
- 7:27That's the question you have to ask yourself before you reach
- 7:29out to them. Are they thinking about me
- 7:32because they know they treated me badly and they wish they
- 7:35could have did things differently?
- 7:36Or are they thinking about me because they madly got caught
- 7:40and their life blew up? Those are questions right there
- 7:45that you have to answer, right? That's a question that you have
- 7:48to answer your for yourself before you decide to reach out
- 7:50to this person, right? Because are they thinking about
- 7:53you? You said, what are they thinking
- 7:58about? It's very rarely the, the, the
- 8:01good. Of course narcissists are going
- 8:03to be thinking about the good times and they're not going to
- 8:06be thinking about how they got to the point where you are right
- 8:09now, right? Of course, if they're thinking
- 8:11about you, sometimes they're not thinking about you under the
- 8:14good under good terms, right? They're thinking about you
- 8:16moving on and clapping cheeks with somebody else.
- 8:19They're thinking about you loving and living your life
- 8:21happily ever after with someone else.
- 8:23They're thinking about you having other people and raising
- 8:25a family with somebody else. They're thinking about those
- 8:27thoughts as well, which could make them become obsessive.
- 8:30We could make them come become crazy.
- 8:31Let's be let's keep it hot and ready.
- 8:33Some of them could become crazy because they're thinking that
- 8:36you with somebody else and they don't want to a they can't
- 8:38handle it. They don't want to live this.
- 8:40So they come back into your life and they try to wreak havoc.
- 8:42They try to wreak havoc in your life because they're thinking
- 8:45about this type of stuff right here.
- 8:47Y'all, you know, if you've dealt with a narcissist before, you've
- 8:51experienced this right here. So are they thinking about you?
- 8:53Yeah, they very well may be thinking about you, but what are
- 8:56they thinking about is, like I said, they could be plotting on
- 9:00you. They could be thinking about you
- 9:01to plot on you and come back into your life.
- 9:03They could be thinking about who you replaced them with, right?
- 9:07They could be thinking about whether the fact whether you're
- 9:09going to expose them to the world or not.
- 9:12Those are also thoughts that a narcissist could have right
- 9:15there. I'm thinking about you exposing
- 9:17me because you absolutely could. Could you not expose me?
- 9:21Yeah, you absolutely could expose me to the world because
- 9:24of what I've been doing, because of how I've handled the
- 9:26situation, because of what has went down.
- 9:28You absolutely could. So do they miss you or they
- 9:32thinking about you? Yeah, they possibly could.
- 9:35But sometimes, like I say y'all, that could turn into a crazy ass
- 9:38obsession and this can go a completely different way that
- 9:41you don't want it to go. You don't want y'all.
- 9:44You don't want an obsessed narcissist.
- 9:46I know some people when I hear, when they hear me say that you
- 9:49might just be like, well, Lee, is something wrong with me?
- 9:52Because I kind of do want my narcissist to be obsessed.
- 9:55It might be kind of go talk to a therapist, right, or talk, come
- 9:59talk to me. I do.
- 10:00I do one of ones over zoom. Y'all can find

- 10:11there. But yeah, if you thinking about
- 10:14I want them to be obsessed with me, Lee.
- 10:15I just want them to miss me because I want them to come
- 10:17back. Come on now, we got some healing
- 10:22to do. There's still, there's still

- 10:30Y'all seriously, Just because they're thinking about you, just
- 10:33because they may be missing you, does not mean that they will
- 10:35treat you better if they came back into your life.
- 10:37You know what I'm saying? This is what goes on with a lot
- 10:40of narcissists and a lot of toxic people in these scenarios.
