Latest / The Mental Healness Podcast / The Full Cycle: Why the 'Love Bomb' ALWAYS Leads to the 'Reverse Discard'.
Transcript
- 0:00Stop waiting for the person that love bombed you to come back.
- 0:06They really never existed. The love bomber was not real.
- 0:10They really were not there. You met the representative, like
- 0:15they said, the proxy. You didn't meet the real version
- 0:17of them. You met the proxy version of
- 0:20them. So if you don't, if you're new
- 0:22here, I'm Lee Hammond, a diagnosed narcissist.
- 0:25And if you're here today, it's because you're realizing that
- 0:28the fairy tale you were sold in the beginning was actually the
- 0:31blue, the blueprint for the discard that you might be going
- 0:35through right now, the discard that you might have went through
- 0:37previously, the discard that you still might be healing from,
- 0:42right narcissistic people. So that right in, in essence,
- 0:46what we're talking about is how the love bombing phase could
- 0:50transition to the reverse discard, right?
- 0:54Because I have two, my 2 most recent videos which will be in
- 0:56the description are about love bombing, the four stages of the
- 1:00love bombing and then the reverse discard.
- 1:03You know when you first meet a narcissist, when you first meet
- 1:08a toxic person, when you first meet a toxic narcissistic person
- 1:12that most times they're going to love bomb you.
- 1:19Most times they're going to love bomb you.
- 1:22Most times they're going to do things.
- 1:24Most times they're going to put you through it.
- 1:28They're going to give you everything that you wanted and
- 1:29needed. Everything you've been asking
- 1:31for, everything you've been praying for, they're going to do
- 1:33it for you, right? They're going to do all of that
- 1:36stuff for you. They're going to meet you.
- 1:39They're going to pick you. They're going to love bomb you.
- 1:42They're going to they're going to they're going to send their
- 1:45best. They're going they're going to
- 1:46be they're going to where their Sunday best to get to you right?
- 1:51They're going to go to war that Sunday best give you everything
- 1:54you need mirror. You act like y'all have the
- 1:57exact same interest, but you don't.
- 2:00You don't have the same interest.
- 2:03Sometimes you do sometimes you do, but sometimes you don't.
- 2:06You realize later on that y'all have nothing in common.
- 2:09They were pretending they just love bombed you.
- 2:13They gave you the old love bomb. They pretended to be whoever you
- 2:18needed them to be in order to make you fall in love with them.
- 2:22And guess what happens when the love bomb ends?
- 2:26That's when the discard phase begins, right?
- 2:30Let me let me take you to the mind of a narcissist real quick.
- 2:32Come here real quick, Al. When I, as a narcissist love
- 2:37love bomb someone, I might actually want them, right?
- 2:41I might want them, but a lot of times I want something from
- 2:44them, right? So in essence, if I just want
- 2:47something from them, I'm not falling for for them.
- 2:50I'm analyzing them, I'm studying them.
- 2:53I'm looking at your insecurities.
- 2:55I'm trying to get get the blueprint of who I need to be.
- 2:59I'm trying to get the it's like acting, y'all?
- 3:02It's like acting. I'm doing research for a role
- 3:06when I'm love mum and somebody, I'm doing research for a role.
- 3:09I'm trying to get this. I'm trying to get this part.
- 3:13This is an audition. This is a cold read right here.
- 3:17You just gave me the script or, or you gave me the script
- 3:21beforehand. When a narcissist is loved by
- 3:23me, it really is kind of like an audition.
- 3:25My actors or actresses are in here, right?
- 3:28You know, if you get time, if you get time to prep, it's going
- 3:33to be better, isn't it? If you give me time to prepare,
- 3:36it's going to be better, but if I just sit down and you hand me
- 3:40the script and say, hey, play this part right here, it's going
- 3:43to be a little bit more difficult.
- 3:45So guess what happens before the love on me?
- 3:46Before you meet a narcissist, sometimes right before you get
- 3:50entangled with them, guess what happens?
- 3:52They look at your social media pages.
- 3:54You already look on social media.
- 3:55You already put every look. You already put everything that
- 3:58you want and need in a person. You are.
- 4:00You already put everything you're looking for.
- 4:03So I already got the script. You're giving them the script
- 4:07right there on your social media, on your dating sites, on
- 4:11all it is right, you giving them the script.
- 4:16They got to do less work. They got to do less work.
- 4:20You're already giving them the script.
- 4:23So that's what I'm saying is sometimes don't put everything
- 4:26that you want online. Stop putting everything on a
- 4:28dating profile. Leave it vague.
- 4:30Put some things on there because you want to, you don't want to
- 4:32seem boring, like a blank slate, right?
- 4:34But you also don't want to give them everything about you.
- 4:37Because if you get if, let's just say you put that you like
- 4:40your favorite type of rose is a pink rose.
- 4:43Guess what happens when you get it?
- 4:45Like I said, when you get to that first date and they got a
- 4:48bouquet of pink roses, why you act surprised?
- 4:52How did you know that I love pink roses?
- 4:56How did you know that I wanted Madden 26?
- 4:59How did you know? How did you know I like fishnet
- 5:03stockings? What are you doing with the
- 5:04things on girl? I want to bite through them.
- 5:06You see what I'm saying don't give them too much information
- 5:10on your profile. Don't do that type of stuff
- 5:12right there. Don't do that because guess
- 5:15what? When a love when they when they
- 5:17feel like they got you, when I feel like I get you right when,
- 5:23and this is what could be so twisted when you're trying to
- 5:25connect the love bombing and the reverse discard.
- 5:28This one can get so twisted right here, right, because the
- 5:33love bombing takes you from the highest of highs to the lowest
- 5:38of lows. It and it just doesn't happen
- 5:41like that, right. You can see it's meticulous over
- 5:43time, right? It's subtle things.
- 5:45They will start dissing you. They will start me meaning to
- 5:48you. They'll tell you one day, they
- 5:50go from telling you that they that they love you every single
- 5:53day to now they treat you like they hate you.
- 5:56They treat you like you've done something wrong to them.
- 5:58They do all of this type of stuff to you and they mess with
- 6:01you, right? They keep doing this and now
- 6:04they pull it away. Now when the reverse discard
- 6:07happens, guess what happens when the reverse discard happens?
- 6:11They just start treating you badly and make you be the one
- 6:13that leaves them. You're the one that leaves right
- 6:17now. You left.
- 6:19You left me. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:23That's what happens. From love bombing to reverse
- 6:26discard. I treat you amazing.
- 6:28And then I started treating you horribly to make you be the one
- 6:33that leaves me. And guess what happens when you
- 6:38leave me? You set me free.
- 6:40So guess what happens? This Guess what I can do now.
- 6:43I can love bomb the next person. And I can be justified in my
- 6:47love bombing. You left me.
- 6:50Yeah. I loved bombed you, but you left
- 6:54me. Don't act like you didn't.
- 6:56Did you not? You left me.
- 6:59You see what I'm saying? So can I not move on fast?
- 7:03Can I you? You expect me to wait around
- 7:05after you moved on from me? You see what I'm saying?
- 7:10You see that's what I'm saying like no I'm not.
- 7:12I'm not pre streaming. This is me.
- 7:13He is streaming on a pre recording.
- 7:15No, this is not pre recorded. This is me live right now.
- 7:17Joanna, this is or, or that I already know that you were going
- 7:21to leave that comment and I'm. I'm predicting stuff.
- 7:25I'm predicting stuff in the future, right?
- 7:28No, this is live. I knew Johanna was going to come
- 7:32in in 7 minutes and 15 seconds, so I just decided to call her
- 7:35out. No, I'm live right now.
- 7:38And if you're watching this later.
- 7:44Yeah. This is this recorded later.
- 7:46I'm glad you found that funny. You got.
- 7:50Look, y'all you, if you follow me, I got a very unique sense of
- 7:53humor. I like to make people laugh.
- 7:54That's what I do. You know what I mean?
- 7:56That's what I do. What's going on?
- 7:58What's up? Back to the future.
- 7:59Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:02But that's narcissistic of you to to do that right there.
- 8:07Yeah. Yeah, It's got.
- 8:09I can't be boring on here, man. Like I can't just.
- 8:11I can sit here and talk to you like this.
- 8:14Hey, guys. But narcissists love bomb you.
- 8:16They don't really love you. They don't really care about
- 8:18you. What they really do is they it's
- 8:20not real love. It's it's it's inauthentic.
- 8:23It's plastic love. It's it, it looks like love.
- 8:27It feels like love. It's just like, it's splendid.
- 8:30It's splendid love. Just like I can do that right
- 8:33there, right. Let's go to Anna.
- 8:36But yeah, this is part of it right here when a reverse
- 8:39discard happens and go check out, make sure y'all check out
- 8:41my my previous videos about love bombing and reverse this my
- 8:45last, my last two videos. They're both LinkedIn the
- 8:48description on YouTube, right? They are about it because it's
- 8:52the it's like when you go from love bombing to getting reverse
- 8:56discarded. You go through what I refer to
- 8:58as emotional whiplash, right. It's emotional whiplash.
- 9:03Imagine driving down like you. You're in this relationship
- 9:06vehicle. We're driving down the street,
- 9:08love, love bombing. It really is speeding down the
- 9:12highway because you're blowing you're you're speeding, right?
- 9:14You're moving so fast. You're living together in two
- 9:17weeks. Y'all talking about having baby.
- 9:19Y'all picking out kids names six weeks into the relationship,
- 9:22picking out houses. You mean unprotected?
- 9:24Yeah, speeding down the highway. Now, if I were to slam on
- 9:29brakes, look, you don't have. Look, you have a seat belt on.
- 9:32Now, if I were to slam on brakes, what happens?
- 9:34Squirt, then net your neck. Go like this whiplash.
- 9:42You go from speeding down the highway really fast to going
- 9:45really slow. Emotional whiplash.
- 9:49That's what happens. That's the bridge between the
- 9:51love bombing, the four stages of the love bombing and then like
- 9:55literally the emotional whiplash and what not the the the getting
- 9:59reverse discard love behind me, sleep on the plane.
- 10:02Yes, this what ends up happening right here.
- 10:04Y'all. This is the mentality.
- 10:05This is so many narcissists face.
- 10:07So if you dealt with a narcissism or talk as a person
- 10:10and you feel like they sort of treating you badly until you
- 10:13left, that messes with you right there, right.
- 10:17That messes with you because you can't believe that the person
- 10:20who treated you so amazing is now cold, calculated, damn near
- 10:25evil. You can't imagine that right
- 10:27there. So it it can be a lot to deal
- 10:29with, y'all. It can be a lot to process when
- 10:31the person you love and you treat it like gold is treating
- 10:34you like crap right now. It really truly can.
- 10:37So this is part of like we're going on right here.
- 10:39Y'all It it, it, it goes to this is what happens.
- 10:42You know what I mean, You were describing you're describing the
- 10:47whole beginning and the fit throwing race sometimes, You
- 10:50know what I'm saying? Yeah, just because that's a good
- 10:52question right here. That's a good right here.
- 10:53Just because they tell you to leave or they force you out the
- 10:57door because they treated you horribly does not mean that they
- 11:01will let you go when you decide to go.
- 11:03I know that sounds stupid, but that's how it goes sometimes.
- 11:07Now I got a few minutes for a couple questions.
- 11:08If you want to watch my videos about love bombing and the
- 11:11reverse discord, they are linked below in the in the description
- 11:15on YouTube. So check those out drop your
- 11:17question and I got a few minutes for some chats.
- 11:25It's hard messing. It's been messing with me for
- 11:26three years. I can't trust anybody right now
- 11:28Yeah, you first person, the first person you have to learn
- 11:30how to trust is your stealth is yourself.
- 11:32Let's see your stealth yourself yourself.
- 11:36Yes. It's hard to realize that it was
- 11:37all a lie. So I'm not going to necessarily
- 11:39say it was all a lie right, Because if you think 20 years is
- 11:43a lie, it'll be a very difficult to heal from that right.
- 11:46So some of it was a lie. Yeah, a chunk of it could have
- 11:50been based on lies, but I don't think all was a lie from the
- 11:53beginning. If that helps you heal, go with
- 11:56that, right? Go with whatever helps you heal.
- 11:58Because like, I don't think it was all a lie from the beginning
- 12:00because it'd be very difficult for me to talk to my one-on-one
- 12:03of my one-on-one clients. And they've been together for 70
- 12:06years and then all of a sudden they're nice in the year.
- 12:08They've been at it for 40 years. I just say it was all fake.
- 12:11You wasted 40 years of your life with somebody who never cared
- 12:14about you. No, I don't think this is true.
- 12:17I don't think that's true. Right there, Right.
- 12:20You must move in silence. It could be dangerous.
- 12:22You could tell. Yeah.
- 12:22If you're trying to leave, don't.
- 12:23You don't necessarily have to tell them.
- 12:25Of course, if there's kids involved and things like that,
- 12:27you have there has to be a plan of action and order.
- 12:30But leaving can't and is the most dangerous time.
- 12:33Kathy, what's going on? Says let me tell you, your piece
- 12:35hits differently once you find your way out.
- 12:37There you go. True.
- 12:40I left the house with the kids and keep on blaming me that I
- 12:42left. And yeah, it can't be.
- 12:45It can't be something that I've done.
- 12:48You a horrible human being. You left me for no reason.
- 12:50You left me with no explanation. You had no reason to leave me.
- 12:54Damn it. You must have somebody else.
- 13:00What up, Gathi? I made her feel as a real
- 13:03individual. There you go.
- 13:05Does narcissistic behavior develop from toxic?
- 13:07Sometimes. It's not always.
- 13:09It's not always 100% certain that narcissists are developed
- 13:13through childhood trauma or something like that.
- 13:14Sometimes there could be a genetic component in it.
- 13:16Y'all. It really just depends.
- 13:18Now, a lot of times it's caused through trauma and neglect in
- 13:21childhood. Mine was right, but not
- 13:25everybody. The way to go above and beyond
- 13:27just to get you to fall for them.
- 13:28Yep. That's crazy.
- 13:29But that's the emotional whiplash right there, Sarah.
- 13:32That's the emotional whiplash you experience right there.
- 13:36I just spoke to you a few weeks ago about about being by an R.
- 13:41Oh, you talk to me? Oh, how you doing?
- 13:44Being R By an R OK, no contact one month.
- 13:48Haven't heard from him and he lives in my building.
- 13:49Stay safe. Stay safe.
- 13:52When they are unaware they are narcissists, they actually say I
- 13:55don't understand myself. Yeah.
- 13:56I mean, sometimes they don't know if they can say I don't
- 13:58understand myself and they're not trying to understand
- 14:00themselves. That's just more manipulation,
- 14:02right? They're just like saying they're
- 14:04just like offering you an apology without changing their
- 14:06behaviors. You know what?
- 14:07I'm just like, I'm sorry. And they don't, they don't
- 14:10change anything about themselves.
- 14:11So yeah, the person I left said they were allowed to abuse me
- 14:16because they worked so hard. My mirroring.
- 14:18Oh, hell no. Allowed to abuse you is an
- 14:20insane thing to say. Allowed to abuse you is an
- 14:24insane thing to say. That's absolutely insane.
- 14:27I'm in a situation where I'm preparing to leave, but I'm
- 14:29starting to feel crazy. And I did this to him.
- 14:31You didn't do that to him. That's the that's that's that's
- 14:33kind of like the the leaving jitters right there.
- 14:35You didn't do that to him. Make sure you feel you are safe
- 14:38on your way out, y'all. Anyway y'all, I do have to hop
- 14:41off this thing. I really appreciate everyone of
- 14:43y'all. I'll be live again maybe
- 14:44tomorrow. I'll be live again tomorrow.
