- 0:04I'm your favorite selfaware narcissist Mr. Lee Hammock
- 0:07better known as mental illness across all social media
- 0:10platforms. This is the first time I see my
- 0:12face and hear my lovely voice. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:15narcissist and I use my platform on social media to raise
- 0:17awareness for NPD, get more people into therapy and also
- 0:21validate the victims, survivors and thrivers of said disorder,
- 0:24said toxic people said toxic traits.
- 0:26Today's episode is going to be about what happens if you pursue
- 0:30the narcissist, if you are the one who goes after the
- 0:33narcissist first or after they break up, if you're the one who
- 0:37reaches out to them first. Before we hop into today's
- 0:40episode of Y'all, I have to shout out the Self Love brand.
- 0:42I am wearing the I'm Capable shirt today.
- 0:45I love Me Self Love Brand. I'm Capable.
- 0:47What are you capable of? You mean ladies of the
- 0:50description of every single video and podcast that I do?
- 0:53But yeah y'all. So what happens if you are the
- 0:57Pursuer? If you are the one who goes
- 0:59after the narcissistic person, if you are the one who goes
- 1:02after the toxic person or whatever you know, so everybody
- 1:07knows. Well, most people know if you
- 1:08dealt with a narcissistic person, you know the the cycle
- 1:11of the cycle of a narcissistic, toxic, abusive relationship,
- 1:14right? Love bombing, the love bombing
- 1:17phase, where the narcissistic person gives you everything that
- 1:20you want, need, pretends to be that person of your dreams and
- 1:22whatnot, but ends up being the person that you that you have
- 1:25nightmares about. That's how it goes.
- 1:27Like not everybody gets love bomb.
- 1:29So if you at the beginning of a relationship, if you pursue the
- 1:34narcissist, the love bombing a lot of times or the the
- 1:37initiation phase or the idealization is on you, you have
- 1:42to you got a love bomb. You coming out to me?
- 1:44I'm going to put in the effort and I might love bombing you
- 1:47back. I might reciprocate.
- 1:49But it's on you. If you pursue the narcissistic
- 1:52person, a lot of it ends up a lot of the stuff, A lot of the a
- 1:56lot of the emotional investment comes to you first.
- 2:00Even though that narcissistic person might also be interested
- 2:02in you, they let you pursue them.
- 2:05So because if you pursue me first, not only do I not have to
- 2:09love bomb, I have to put in effort.
- 2:11I don't have to love bomb you. But guess what?
- 2:14I know I can get away with certain things.
- 2:16I know because you want me and that you are attracted to me.
- 2:20Then there's a level of things that I can get away with now.
- 2:23You know what I mean? So you you see, Is that what I'm
- 2:26saying? Because you are attracted to me,
- 2:28I already know that you want me. So all in my head, in my mind, I
- 2:33already know that there's probably certain things that
- 2:36you're going to forgive me for because you're physically,
- 2:39emotionally or mentally attracted to me.
- 2:42You approach me. I know you approach me so the
- 2:45rejection is so the thought of me being rejected is a lot
- 2:48lower. Can I still be rejected?
- 2:50Yes. If I if you approach me because
- 2:52you're physically attracted to me and then I I'm just stupid to
- 2:56say that I'm dumb and just, you know, damn Mary, you know I'm
- 2:59just, I'm literally just dumb and I'm not funny.
- 3:02I'm not I'm. I'm uninterested.
- 3:03I'm just good to look at then yeah, you might leave me alone.
- 3:07But I said it's hard for you to leave me alone, basically
- 3:09because you had, you were attracted to me.
- 3:11So if you are attracted to that narcissistic person, you might
- 3:14be in for a wild ride because if you're the first one to reach
- 3:17out to them but you like okay, I'm going to pursue you.
- 3:20You're I'm not saying you're I'm not saying you're done or you're
- 3:22cooked. But you're you're you're not
- 3:25done. You're not cooked, but you're
- 3:27you are. You're you're battered and you
- 3:31you're you, you are oiled up and and floured up and you're ready
- 3:35to go into the oven. You're not fully cooked, but you
- 3:38damn near ready to go into the oven.
- 3:39You see what I'm saying? Because that narcissistic person
- 3:42talks to person that you're dealing with.
- 3:43Y'all they are like they know they can get away with certain
- 3:46things. Because I know you like me and I
- 3:48can use that against you. I can tell I would tell you if I
- 3:50if you catch me up on something. I thought you liked me.
- 3:53I thought you cared about me. I thought you.
- 3:54I thought you came out to me. You pursued me.
- 3:57Did you not know what you were getting yourself into?
- 3:59This is kind of weird, you know what I mean?
- 4:01Because if you are like if you like me, if you're attracted to
- 4:04me, then you were more willing to let things go because you
- 4:07want me. You see what I'm saying?
- 4:08It doesn't work all. It doesn't work this way all the
- 4:10time. But a lot of times in my mind,
- 4:11this is how it goes. You know what I mean?
- 4:14I know you like me. You showed me I don't have to
- 4:16put the work in to get you because I I still put work in,
- 4:20but I don't have to work as hard.
- 4:21Yeah, and sometimes if you love bombing, if you reach out to.
- 4:24I don't say you love bombing artists.
- 4:25If you look, if you reach out to an artist 1st and you contact
- 4:27them first, yeah, they can still love bomb me.
- 4:30The love bombing face can still go on.
- 4:32But I also know that I can get away with certain things because
- 4:35you like me. So I'm not telling y'all to
- 4:37pursue someone. I'm just saying, if you pursue
- 4:40them and they mess up and they start throwing up red flags and
- 4:43they turn around and love bomb you or something like that, just
- 4:45be very wary. Keep your head.
- 4:47Like, keep your head on the swivel, like check both ways,
- 4:51check both ways, look both ways before you cross the road of
- 4:55toxicity, before you cross this street of toxicity.
- 4:58Because you might get hit by a narcissistic vehicle, a toxic
- 5:01ass, a toxic ass bus, a narcissistic train.
- 5:05You know what I mean? Something might happen.
- 5:08You may a motorized manipulator might take you off the streets.
- 5:12Like look both ways, Watch your head, watch yourself.
- 5:15Y'all you have to in these situations.
- 5:16You have to If you don't, you only take advantage of this
- 5:19point blank. This point blank, period.
- 5:21You only take advantage of in these types of relationships.
- 5:23The more at the more you reach out to a narcissist and the more
- 5:25you are willing to let things go because you approach them.
- 5:28Sometimes the more red flags you miss, so I'm not telling you to
- 5:31pursue but not to pursue people. I'm just telling you to not
- 5:34ignore the red flags when and if they do pop up because you might
- 5:37be more apt to ignore a red flag because you're attracted to this
- 5:40person. When I say this all the time,
- 5:42when your physical attraction overrides your intuition, you
- 5:48lose. You lose when you start ignore a
- 5:49red flag because somebody is cute, so they they they they
- 5:53hot, they got a nice set of cheeks on them or they, you
- 5:55know, they tall, dark and handsome.
- 5:56Whatever you whatever you're attracted to, if you start
- 5:59ignoring red flags. Oh, they tall, dark and
- 6:01handsome. But they married and they beat
- 6:02their spouse. What?
- 6:04But I like them, though. What?
- 6:06They don't beat me. What?
- 6:07Come on now. Y'all.
- 6:09But there's. But there's also a very special
- 6:11piece of nuance in this situation as well that applies
- 6:13to that. If y'all break up, if you're in
- 6:16a relationship with a narcissistic person and you
- 6:18reach out to them first, you y'all break up.
- 6:21Whoever breaks up who you contact me first, you lose.
- 6:26It's just like slate clean. So at the beginning of the
- 6:30relationship, you might miss more red flags because you're
- 6:32attracted to this person. You like this person, You're
- 6:34pursuing this person, right? But in the relationship of y'all
- 6:36break up and you reach out to me first, y'all have an argument,
- 6:39you reach out. It doesn't even have to be a
- 6:41breakup. It can be like an argument or
- 6:42disagreement. But if you reach out to them
- 6:44first, you pursue them after the disagreement, you pursue them
- 6:47after the argument. I know you might just be leave
- 6:49this what adults do, they pursue and they handle situations the
- 6:52way a narcissistic person's mind work is not like that though.
- 6:55Y'all. You pursue me.
- 6:56You are forgiving me. Your pursuit is forgiveness.
- 7:00Your pursuit, your pursuit of me will be taken as your
- 7:04forgiveness of me. You pursue me, you forgive me.
- 7:08That's how the mind of a narcissistic person works.
- 7:10If you are pursuing me, you are forgiving me.
- 7:13This is simple as that. And people are like, no, that's
- 7:15not what they mean. Yeah, I'm telling you how the
- 7:17mind of a narcissistic person works.
- 7:19You don't want to listen to me. You don't want to believe me.
- 7:21I don't know what to tell you. I'm telling you pursue them.
- 7:24You reach out to them. You make no you break.
- 7:27No contact. You start.
- 7:29You stop ignoring them and start, Like I said, you respond
- 7:31to them. You send a message to them, you
- 7:33call them. You show up at their job in the
- 7:35mind of that person. You are okay with all the
- 7:39previous behaviors. Believe we're not okay with the
- 7:41behavior. You just want to work it out.
- 7:42You are okay with all the previous behaviors.
- 7:46That's the mind of a narcissistic person.
- 7:47Y'all that is. It absolutely is.
- 7:51It's the mind that the mind of how our toxin manipulator works.
- 7:55If you reach out to me, you must want me.
- 7:58You must be okay with how I've treated you previously, are you
- 8:02not? No.
- 8:03Why you reach out to me then? I don't know.
- 8:07Because we look why you reach out to me, then you.
- 8:10If you reach out to them, you can't bring up the past.
- 8:12Believe they bring up the past all the time.
- 8:14Yes, Yes. Yes, they will.
- 8:17The double standards exist in these relationships.
- 8:19Y'all, they just do double standards.
- 8:22Absolutely. With no equivocation exists in
- 8:25types of relationship dynamics. With narcissistic people, that's
- 8:28just point blank, period. That's just how it go.
- 8:31Believe it's not fair. Yeah, I know it's not fair.
- 8:33That's what I'm telling you with this.
- 8:35It's not a question of fairness. It's a question of what's going
- 8:38to happen if you reach out to them, if you pursue them.
- 8:41I'm just telling you the mind works differently.
- 8:44They're going to take that as forgiveness.
- 8:45Your pursuit is your forgiveness.
- 8:47You reaching out to me is you saying that you you forgive me,
- 8:51believe me, don't forgive. Y'all you reaching out to me is
- 8:54saying you forgive me. I just don't know.
- 8:56Yeah, I don't know what to tell you.
- 8:57I'm telling you straight up. That's how the mind of a
- 9:00narcissist works. Once you reach out to me, you
- 9:02are forgiving me. It just go.
- 9:05That's the way it goes. Y'all I'm just telling you when
- 9:07I tell you not to reach out, I'm just telling you the way the
- 9:09mind of a narcissist works, Once you break that barrier, once you
- 9:13break the seal, you broke the seal you are responsible for.
- 9:17You see what I'm saying? It's like you once you break the
- 9:19when you break the window. You broke the window, didn't
- 9:22you? I didn't break the window.
- 9:23So you were taking responsibility for it.
- 9:25Just be wary on who you reach out to and why you're reaching
- 9:28out to this person. Y'all because, like I tell you,
- 9:30they take narcissistic people take it personally.
- 9:33They just like okay. They're going to take the way,
- 9:36like narcissistic people are going to formulate that.
- 9:38They're going to formulate the thoughts in their mind that
- 9:41serve them the most. So if you pursue them first,
- 9:45just be worried. No matter what stage of the
- 9:46relationship you're in, no matter where you are in this
- 9:50relationship space, you pursue them.
- 9:53They think it's okay. They think whatever they've done
- 9:55to you, whatever they put you through, they think it's okay.
- 9:58I'm not look, I'm just the. I'm just the messenger.
- 10:02Don't shoot the messenger. I'm capable.
- 10:05That's how it goes. Y'all.
- 10:07I'm not telling you to not go after people that you're
- 10:09attracted to. That's not, that's not what I'm
- 10:11saying. I'm just saying be very weary
- 10:13and don't ignore the red flags because you're attracted to
- 10:15somebody. Don't know the red flags because
- 10:17you won't be. Don't ignore the red flags
- 10:20because you want to reach out to somebody that you thought you
- 10:22were, that you were in a relationship with, that you that
- 10:23you current about. Don't ignore those.
- 10:25Y'all those can protect you. Those can save your life.
