- 0:10horribly, done something terrible to you, lied to you,
- 0:13cheated on you, put their hands on you, put their feet on you?
- 0:16Why can't they just give up your stuff and just move on?
- 0:19Why is that? That's what we're talking about
- 0:22today, y'all? Of course, if you're new here,
- 0:24I'm Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist, and
- 0:25welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:27Let's get it. Welcome back folks.
- 0:47Welcome back. Welcome back.
- 0:48Yes, the narcissist, the Noah success and keeping your things.
- 0:55Now I will do a separate video on why sometimes like the
- 0:59narcissist refuses to come get their things.
- 1:01But this right here we're going to be focusing on the topic of
- 1:03keeping your things and also my one on ones, my coaching, my
- 1:07courses, everything is available at mentalillness.net.
- 1:10Make sure you check that out. And yes, let's hop right into
- 1:13it. Y'all narcissist love keeping
- 1:16your stuff. Now not every narcissist will
- 1:18keep your stuff. Some of them will absolutely
- 1:20give you your stuff back or trash it, burn it, put a put a
- 1:24demonic curse on it, hex it, whatever, right?
- 1:26Some of them would do whatever they need to do, but a lot of
- 1:29times they'll keep your stuff. OK lady, you said that you're
- 1:31repeating yourself. Tell us why.
- 1:33OK, I can give you a few different reasons as to why.
- 1:37One reason that narcissist keep your stuff.
- 1:39If so, they keep keep having a reason to reach out to you.
- 1:44Plain and simple. They want to have a reason to
- 1:48continue to connect to you, to continue to reach out to you, to
- 1:51continue to have something to say to you.
- 1:53You know what I mean? They will absolutely keep a lot
- 1:56of your things to have a reason to reach out to you.
- 1:58Hey, are you going to come get your stuff?
- 2:00And then you come get your stuff.
- 2:01And then guess what happens? They keep, they don't give you
- 2:04all of it. They keep some of it.
- 2:06Oh, I forgot to give you your, your plants or your flower or
- 2:09your thong or your PS-5 controller stick, right?
- 2:14Not even the PS-5 controller, the little, there's a little
- 2:17thing you wrap around a controller to keep the sticks
- 2:19from moving. That right there.
- 2:20They, they keep little things like they'll, it's a slow drip
- 2:24to have a reason to reach out to you.
- 2:26So if you, if they, let's say they call you one day, right?
- 2:30Let's just say a narcissist calls you one day and they
- 2:33instead of you know what? They call you one day and you
- 2:36just pop off at them. You like, why the hell are you
- 2:38calling me? I blocked you.
- 2:40It's over. Leave me the hell alone.
- 2:42And then they can say I'm just calling you because you left
- 2:46your stuff here. Do you not want your stuff?
- 2:48I thought you wanted your stuff. See, I'm trying to help you out.
- 2:51You yelling and screaming at me. See, we can't see.
- 2:53I should just throw it away. I should just throw it away.
- 2:56You see what I'm saying? It gives them, in their minds,
- 2:58it gives them a valid reason to continue to reach out to you and
- 3:01whatnot, A valid reason to continue to torture you and to
- 3:04try to message your head and all this other good stuff, all the
- 3:06other back and forth stuff, right?
- 3:08So a lot of nurses love to do this type of stuff, right?
- 3:10They love to do it. They love to keep you on the
- 3:12hook. They love to have that always
- 3:15have their reason to reach out, which is why they slowly release
- 3:18some of your things. It's like them they're they're
- 3:21releasing the hostages to you, right?
- 3:22They slowly release the hostages every once in a while to come
- 3:25back and get you. You know what I'm saying?
- 3:28They slowly release the hostages.
- 3:29So do you. So you keep, so you keep the
- 3:32negotiations open. So that's one of the reasons why
- 3:34y'all, another reason why, and these are in no particular
- 3:37order, right? Another reason why is because
- 3:39they would just want to torture or punish you.
- 3:41Y'all especially especially if you are the one that ended the
- 3:44relationship. Hell yeah.
- 3:46I'm going. I I gotta get you back.
- 3:49I got I gotta do something to you.
- 3:51Hell, you think you'll get away Scott free?
- 3:54Hell no. I'm keeping your stuff.
- 3:57Why would I let you? Why don't I just let you give
- 3:59you your stuff so you can just move on?
- 4:01So you don't have to talk to me. You don't have to reach out to
- 4:03me. Hell, now who?
- 4:04What? I do I look like Boo Boo the
- 4:06fool to you? Do I look like Boo Boo the fool
- 4:09to you? I'm just curious, right?
- 4:12I am super curious. Do I look like Boo Boo the damn
- 4:16fool to you? You got to feel this pain.
- 4:19So sometimes they'll keep the most important things to you.
- 4:24Let us say you got to earn one of your parents ashes in there,
- 4:26your best friend or your sister or brother, whoever, right?
- 4:28You got ashes. They'll keep the urn.
- 4:31They'll keep the urn and start threatening to do things to it.
- 4:34They'll hold your stuff hostage. You, you have seen those old
- 4:37movies or like literally some real life stuff where they hold
- 4:40somebody hostage and they help. They like see, see if you've
- 4:44really have my brother send me proof of life and they'll send a
- 4:47picture or video with him holding today's newspaper,
- 4:50right? Or reading today's headlines or
- 4:52something like that. They'll do that type of stuff,
- 4:55like except for the person, they'll do that with your
- 4:58things. They'll send you a picture of
- 5:00your mom's ashes or your sister's ashes or whatever,
- 5:02Somebody's ashes. They'll send a picture of the
- 5:04urn with a note on it, right? Just to let you know that they
- 5:07still got it and that they're still trying to mess with you.
- 5:09Man, is, is, is crucial and is horrible.
- 5:14It absolutely is. It's crucial and it's horrible
- 5:16and it's it's, it's tough to deal with, man.
- 5:18I promise you it is. So some of them, they want to
- 5:21get you back for the pain and shame that you caused them.
- 5:23Yeah, they might have bought, they might have brought some
- 5:26pain and shame into your life, but how dare you bring it into
- 5:29theirs? They have to make you feel the
- 5:31hurt. They have to make you feel the
- 5:32pain. They have to make you regret it.
- 5:34They have to make you squirm. They have to make you feel it.
- 5:37So yes, there are a lot of a ton of narcissistic people out
- 5:40there. They would do exactly that.
- 5:41They'll make you feel it. They'll make sure that you feel
- 5:44it. They'll do horrible last things
- 5:46to you to make sure that you feel it, to ensure that you feel
- 5:49it. They'll keep yourself, They'll
- 5:51start shredding your stuff up. They'll they'll tear some of the
- 5:53stuff up and release some of the stuff.
- 5:55You know what I'm saying? They'll throw something out the
- 5:57window and tell you, well, there's just on this.
- 5:59There's only one other thing. I still got the other one.
- 6:01You keep, you better act right. You better talk to me.
- 6:03So sometimes they want to control, they want to punish you
- 6:06and torture you, which is one another reason why they keep
- 6:08your stuff. The next one, y'all is going to
- 6:11be like the most common reason, power in control.
- 6:14I'm keeping your shit because I can.
- 6:16You're not getting it because I said so.
- 6:18You can't. You're not allowed in my house.
- 6:20Get off my property. I know this is your stuff.
- 6:22I know that your name is on the lease.
- 6:24I know this. I know that I know all this type
- 6:26of stuff is going on. So absolutely hell no.
- 6:28I just I'm in control. You got to come to me.
- 6:32You got to wait for my call. I'm in control of how this works
- 6:35and how this goes. You have no power.
- 6:37Here you are. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:39You shall not pass. Oh, you're my my Lord of the
- 6:42Ring, folks. You shall not bar.
- 6:46You see what I'm saying that's what goes on right there man.
- 6:51I'm just telling you this is what this is the mentality.
- 6:53They want to they want to control it.
- 6:55They love having the power. I got your stuff kind of like it
- 6:58really is childish. Kind of think of y'all, maybe
- 7:01the old saying na na Boo Boo, that type of stuff like that.
- 7:03Literally that's what they're doing with your stuff with power
- 7:05and control and torturing you Na na Boo Boo.
- 7:08I got your stuff, I got more, I got your stuff and you do not.
- 7:14Seriously, power control is one of the main reasons why they
- 7:17like to keep your things, why they like to keep this stuff,
- 7:19why they like to have it and keep it moving, the things of
- 7:21that nature. So absolutely true power control
- 7:24is a huge reason on why they keep this stuff.
- 7:27The next reason, I think I got what, two more reasons right
- 7:29here. It's not, it's like not super
- 7:30low. I know earlier I said they want
- 7:33to have a reason to keep reaching out to you.
- 7:35Another reason is they want you to reach out to them.
- 7:40It goes into power and control. It goes into torturing you.
- 7:42You know what I'm saying? They want you to reach out to
- 7:45them. You want your stuff.
- 7:47You got to break no contact. You have to talk to me.
- 7:50Like sometimes when I'm telling people on one, on ones, like if
- 7:53you don't want to break no contact, get a friend or a
- 7:55family member or somebody like that.
- 7:57They can reach out to them on your behalf and get your stuff.
- 8:00And sometimes they'll just deny it.
- 8:01I'm not talking to you. If they want their stuff, they
- 8:03got to talk to me. They'll try to force you to
- 8:05break no contact, right? So sometimes they're trying to
- 8:09force you to break no contact in order to get your stuff, in
- 8:12order to retrieve, retrieve your stuff in order to get anything,
- 8:14have anything that's going for you.
- 8:16They want you to break no contact.
- 8:18They want you to to talk to them and speak to them.
- 8:21So yes, a lot of narcissistic people will absolutely keep your
- 8:24stuff in the it's just to have you reaching out to them, just
- 8:27to have that control, just to have that power, just have that
- 8:30open line of communication and have that Open Access to you.
- 8:33Because guess what? As long as I have your stuff, I
- 8:36have access to you as well. This is how it goes.
- 8:39This is a big piece of it. This is a big part of it.
- 8:41As long as I have your things, I have access to you as well.
- 8:45So I want you to keep reaching out and I want to be able to
- 8:48reach out to you as well, right? This is that mount.
- 8:50This is that mindset. I know it's childish yourself.
- 8:52I know it's Nanana, Boo Boo, but this is how it goes.
- 8:55And at the end, I'm going to tell y'all about how what I
- 8:58would do in these situations right here.
- 8:59Yeah, last but not least, Drum roll, please.
- 9:03Sometimes they're just lazy as hell and they just want to keep
- 9:07the. I'm just telling.
- 9:08Sometimes they just want to keep it.
- 9:10There's like, free, free stuff. Especially if it's stuff that
- 9:13they can actually use, Right? Especially if it's something
- 9:16they they actually have used for.
- 9:18Hell yeah, they gonna keep it. Why not?
- 9:21You're not getting your mom's broom back.
- 9:24That's that. I know that dustpan is something
- 9:26I bought you for your birthday, but it's mine.
- 9:28You should have took it when you left.
- 9:29I know these these plants here are yours, but they're mine now.
- 9:33You shouldn't have left them. They like free narcissistic
- 9:37people, like free things. There's so many people that I
- 9:39talked to just Lee. I had to escape.
- 9:42I had to leave this type of stuff behind.
- 9:44And guess what? You know, like what they, they,
- 9:47they keep it up. They get my pictures, my, my
- 9:49pictures, my, my, my stuff, my, my portraits, the things that,
- 9:53the things that I have painted, my favorite albums, my movie
- 9:57posters. They still got them on the wall
- 9:59like it's theirs. They'd have moved on there and a
- 10:01whole new relationship and they still have my stuff on the wall.
- 10:05They still have my stuff in the bathroom.
- 10:06They still have my stuff in the kitchen.
- 10:08They still use my favorite pots and pans, my hex clad pots and
- 10:11pans. They still using that what it's
- 10:14annoying, so sometimes they just like to have things for free.
- 10:18No thank y'all for making me through that part right here in
- 10:21part. Why tell you what should you do
- 10:23in this situation? So if a narcissist or types of
- 10:26person refusing to give you your things, you had to ask yourself
- 10:29a lot of a few questions, but one of the main important
- 10:31questions you have to ask yourself, do I really need this
- 10:34stuff? Are these things with this stuff
- 10:38are the how important, how truly important are they to me because
- 10:43I have to make a decision for myself right now.
- 10:46You see what I'm saying? If this person is just refusing
- 10:48to give him my stuff back and the police are not helping or
- 10:52nobody else would go with you or whatever the case may be, right?
- 10:56A lot of time you have, you have to ask yourself, is it work?
- 11:00Is all? Are these things work?
- 11:03Having to stay in contact with them.
- 11:05Are these things, are these materials or whatever it is, you
- 11:08know, worth having to have this person have this power and
- 11:11control over me or have this person or have me having to
- 11:14reach out to them or having them just being able to mess with me
- 11:17and torture me and see me pictures of the stuff that I do
- 11:20that I did want. You have to ask yourself, are
- 11:23these things worth it? Because sometimes, sometimes
- 11:24they're really not. Sometimes they are y'all.
- 11:26And again, sometimes they are sometimes they are not.
- 11:29Like you might not care about your dustpan or your, your
- 11:32ceiling fan brush. You might not care about this
- 11:34type of stuff. Your popcorn ceiling ceiling
- 11:35scraper, you might not care about this type of stuff, right?
- 11:39But sometimes it is stuff that you care about.
- 11:41And then you have to make sure before you leave, y'all, if you,
- 11:44if it's possible, make sure before you leave, before you
- 11:46have to escape, make sure that you taking pictures and keeping
- 11:49those pictures safe. Take pictures of the stuff that
- 11:51you had. You might have had to leave
- 11:52behind just in case you have to file a police report.
- 11:56And they had you all say you had to file a police report and then
- 11:58they're going to ask for pictures and stuff like that.
- 12:00And you can say, hey, I did this video on the way out to the
- 12:02door. This is how I left it.
- 12:03I haven't been back since. And my stuff was sitting right
- 12:06there by the door. They said that they have, they
- 12:10said that they had thrown in the way.
- 12:11I don't know how true that is. Then you have pictures, then you
- 12:14have evidence because you want to be able to take that type of
- 12:16stuff, y'all? Because if you leave and then
- 12:18it's your word against theirs, you never know how that's going
- 12:20to go. You're right, a cop, you're
- 12:23saying it's just, you just never know how the situation is going
- 12:26to pan out for you. So I'll make sure to take
- 12:29pictures and videos before you leave because you might have to
- 12:31call the police again if you don't want to break no contact.
- 12:34You can use a third party if possible to, you know, to have
- 12:37this communication thing handled and whatnot and blocked off.
- 12:41You can have that happen for you right there.
- 12:43You know, I mean, that's it. That's super, extremely
- 12:45important. So make sure that you have that
- 12:48ready, you have that at your disposal.
- 12:49It's going to be important as hell, y'all, you know, it
- 12:52really, really is. It's just it's just one of those
- 12:54things that's going to be extremely important as you
- 12:56continue to move forward on your journey, as you continue to to
- 12:59empower yourself and as you continue to heal and grow and do
- 13:01all the other good things, all the other good stuff.
- 13:03So ask yourself, is it worth it? And if it is, you know what I'm
- 13:06saying? Sometimes you might have to walk
- 13:07away from this stuff if it is worth it.
- 13:08Sometimes they call the police, don't we do not negotiate with
- 13:13narcissistic terrorists. I don't know, like narcissists,
- 13:15they like to terrorize you. They like to torture you.
- 13:17They like to do a lot of horrible things to you.
- 13:19So make sure you're not negotiating with a narcissistic
- 13:21terrorist. Anyways, y'all think I've made
