Transcript
- 0:01So you spent years thinking you just had a difficult or hard
- 0:07partner, right? Just a difficult relationship.
- 0:09Then you found the word narcissist and everything just
- 0:13seemed to click. You might have found Lee
- 0:14Hammond, who knows, right? You might have seen my videos
- 0:16and hear the word narcissist and everything just started to make
- 0:19sense. Everything started to click.
- 0:21But then once you woke up, something terrible, terrifying
- 0:26started to happen. You looked at your mom, you
- 0:30looked at your dad, you looked at your best friend of 10/15/20
- 0:36years, you looked at your coworker, you looked at your
- 0:38boss. And then you realize they're all
- 0:43doing the same thing that you're a toxic narcissistic partner or
- 0:46ex does. As someone that's diagnosed with
- 0:50narcissistic personality disorder, y'all, we're talking
- 0:53about the awakening today. Today we're talking about the
- 0:56awakening. When you wake up to see that you
- 0:58are not crazy, you just you. You finally started to learn the
- 1:02language of narcissistic abuse and you started to see the
- 1:05narcissism. And now once you see it, you
- 1:08can't Unsee it. Once you wake up in the Matrix,
- 1:11you can't go back to the Matrix. Y'all don't remember Cipher from
- 1:16the movie The Matrix? When he tried to go back into
- 1:18the Matrix, his ass got cooked and he was no more.
- 1:21Right. Let's get it, y'all.
- 1:25Welcome to the welcome to the live chat.
- 1:28Welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm an introvert, so I'm more
- 1:30prone to them. It happens.
- 1:31It can happen, right? It can definitely happen.
- 1:33What is going on, Ladonna? Tammy, what up?
- 1:36What up? What up?
- 1:37What's going on, y'all? Hope you're having a great day.
- 1:39Today. We're talking about awakening,
- 1:40waking up. Like once you've been in a toxic
- 1:42relationship with a narcissist or a toxic person, you start to
- 1:46see it everywhere. Everywhere you start to see you
- 1:50started to notice, hey, you know what my best friend kind of
- 1:54horrible. You know what my sister kind of
- 1:58toxic. You know what my boss is
- 2:01manipulate. My boss tried to gas like me and
- 2:05is not taking accountability for what they did.
- 2:08You start to see it everywhere you do and it messes.
- 2:14It can mail, it can mess with your head if you really mess
- 2:16with your head once you once you've been in a touch
- 2:18relationship with a narcissist, it can make you hyper vigilant,
- 2:21right, Right. It's like you take the blindfold
- 2:24off and all this stuff starts. Stuff started to happen and a
- 2:28lot of times you start to realize that you had a
- 2:30narcissistic parent and you realize that narcissism started
- 2:35at home, right? It started at home.
- 2:40Most people don't just stumble into a narcissistic
- 2:44relationship. You don't just trip and fall
- 2:45into a toxic relationship right? Not most people.
- 2:48You are likely pre programmed for it.
- 2:52If you grew up in a toxic household with a narcissistic
- 2:55parent or parents, you were trained to ignore your own
- 3:00boundaries to keep the peace. When and when.
- 3:03Yeah, when you ignore your own boundaries in your childhood,
- 3:05guess what you grow up doing? You ignore your boundaries in
- 3:09your adulthood. And guess what?
- 3:11When you met your narcissistic partner, their toxicity felt
- 3:15like home. It felt warm and cozy.
- 3:21It felt like a Snuggie. You felt like you were
- 3:23underneath a blanket at home in your childhood bedroom, right?
- 3:27That's why I it felt familiar. It felt like home.
- 3:31That's why you stayed so long. That's why you might still be in
- 3:34there right now when you want to leave, right?
- 3:36You thought love was supposed to feel like a struggle for
- 3:40approval. That's what ain't happening.
- 3:41You really, truly thought that love was supposed to struggle.
- 3:45Love was real struggle. Love is the best love.
- 3:47That's what you were conditioned to think while you were at home
- 3:51growing up in a toxic relationship dynamic.
- 3:54This happens to so many people. What's going on, y'all?
- 3:57What's going on? Drop a comment and say, hey,
- 3:59y'all in the comments section if you're here for real.
- 4:02Not everybody in. Yeah, when you, when you see it
- 4:04at first, I'm telling you, you start to see it everywhere.
- 4:08Yeah. Is everybody a narcissist?
- 4:09Probably not, right? But you start to see the
- 4:13narcissistic traits. You start to recognize
- 4:16gaslighting. You start to recognize
- 4:17manipulation, stonewalling, the silent treatment.
- 4:20You see right here Sam said Me getting together with my father
- 4:24in other men because I couldn't fix that.
- 4:26Yep, you will date your part. You're you're date a lot of
- 4:29times you're in a Natasha relationship.
- 4:31You're dating one of your parents.
- 4:33Not like that right? I know some people to get right
- 4:35there. Not like that.
- 4:37Your first live what we're going on on net over to the first
- 4:39live. It's called being more self
- 4:41aware. Yeah, self aware.
- 4:43So I'm the self aware narcissist, right?
- 4:45So self aware doesn't just work for narcissist.
- 4:48It works for everybody. You know what I mean?
- 4:50I think somebody just said every, no, no, no, this or
- 4:55everywhere. Where'd it go?
- 4:56Right there. See, I think now she said for
- 5:00real, everybody a narc now, everybody at narcissist now,
- 5:04right? That's how it says.
- 5:05That's what it seems like that everybody is somehow some way,
- 5:08shape or form a narcissist right now, right?
- 5:11And that's can also be referred to as the frequency illusion,
- 5:14right? You start once you see one
- 5:15thing, you start to see it more like once you see something,
- 5:18once you saw, once you see a red Prius, you might start seeing
- 5:21red Priuses everywhere. Once you see a blue Chevy, blue
- 5:25Chevy is everywhere. Them a blue Chevy.
- 5:27You know what I'm saying? Once you see that Pennsylvania
- 5:29license plate, you see them everywhere where you're not even
- 5:31in Pennsylvania. Like that's what ends up
- 5:33happening is the the frequency illusion.
- 5:35So people do ask me all the time, like Lee, is everyone in
- 5:39narcissist now? And I say I am never.
- 5:44Not everyone is a narcissist. Me.
- 5:48Yeah, no, not everybody's a narcissist.
- 5:51But once you know what a red flag looks like, you stop
- 5:55calling it like a personality quirk.
- 5:58You stop calling it just an attachment style, right?
- 6:01You start singing it you, you'll start seeing them everywhere
- 6:05because you stop making excuses for people.
- 6:07Once you stop making excuses for people's actions and behaviors
- 6:10like you might have been conditioned to in your childhood
- 6:13or in your previous relationship.
- 6:14Once you stop making excuses for people, you'll start seeing the
- 6:17narcissism or the toxicity everywhere.
- 6:20You start noticing manipulation fast.
- 6:23So like, are you trying to gas like me, right.
- 6:26It really is like buying a new car and suddenly you see that
- 6:29same car everywhere. Like I said, like I was just
- 6:31saying, you start seeing that same car, the same make and
- 6:34model everywhere and you see it as a sign, right?
- 6:37You like, well, it might be a sign that I need to go back.
- 6:40Well, it might be a sign that I need this car, right?
- 6:43What you realize is the narcissist that you just
- 6:47realized was narcissistic. They were always there.
- 6:52You just didn't have the eyes for them until right now.
- 6:55You didn't have the ability to spot them out to right now.
- 6:58You didn't have the the world with all to see them until right
- 7:00now. It's kind of like this right
- 7:02here. You take your it was like you
- 7:03put your glass. I can't see you put your glasses
- 7:07on. Oh, damn.
- 7:09No, I see it everywhere. It's there everywhere.
- 7:13Now you start seeing it literally everywhere because
- 7:16your eyesight has gotten better. You have, you put some eye drops
- 7:19in, you got some, some Claritin or whatever, right?
- 7:21You see better because you notice them more.
- 7:25You see, like once you get that vision, once you get the
- 7:27spectacles, you will really start to understand who you're
- 7:31dealing with. I think they open their eyes to
- 7:33toxic waves of people. Yeah, absolutely.
- 7:35That's one thing. That's one that's kind of like a
- 7:37residual thing. When you leave in a toxic
- 7:39relationship with a narcissist, you will see the narcissism
- 7:42everywhere. It's not, it's like it's
- 7:44something something's going to sneak up on you.
- 7:46You'll see it everywhere. And This is why sometimes when
- 7:49you leave a toxic relationship, you might end up in another one,
- 7:53right? Y'all don't understand how many
- 7:55people I've talked to that have left one narcissist and ended up
- 7:59with another one. Like damn Lee, I just can't win
- 8:01for losing. Damn, I can't win for losing and
- 8:04whatnot. And they end up with another
- 8:06types of relationship and it sucks for them because then they
- 8:09started to blame themselves. Like maybe it's me, maybe my ex
- 8:12was right. That's what happens right here,
- 8:14y'all? It is.
- 8:16So I think somebody else earlier said my circle became smaller.
- 8:20Who said that? Somebody else dropped it in the
- 8:22chat earlier said it's circle, small as hell.
- 8:24Now that's what happens, man, that really is a piece of what
- 8:29happens. Like because you start to notice
- 8:31it, you're you, you're you're going to start losing friends
- 8:33and family. Like as you heal, your circle is
- 8:36probably going to shrink y'all. It makes sense because
- 8:39narcissistic friends don't like the healed version of you.
- 8:43So sometimes they'll get away from you because they see you.
- 8:46They they will notice that you start setting boundaries with
- 8:50them. Like they will notice this.
- 8:53So he like they hate and you know, narcissists hate
- 8:56boundaries. So your parents, your friends
- 8:58and family members, whoever the narcissistic people that are in
- 9:01your life, like you have boundaries.
- 9:03So they don't want to be around you anymore.
- 9:05Like you say the word no, they don't want to be around you
- 9:08anymore. When you start standing up for
- 9:10yourself, the narcissistic people that are already in your
- 9:13life will absolutely call you difficult.
- 9:19They'll call you mean they'll call you selfish and guess what?
- 9:23You it's what you need to do. Let them that really is let them
- 9:28leave. Don't fight for to keep somebody
- 9:29in your life that's going to be abusing you, that's going to not
- 9:32trust you that like I said, that's going to take advantage
- 9:35of it and things like that. Don't fight to keep abuse in
- 9:38your life. There's so, so many people do
- 9:39that I talk to under my one on ones and stuff.
- 9:41That's what people talk about. That's what people do.
- 9:43They let people, they let they fight to keep the toxicity in
- 9:46their life and that serves no one but the narcissist.
- 9:50When you're fighting to keep the toxic person in your life, that
- 9:53only serves the toxic person in your life, they only serve the
- 9:57narcissist in your life, right? So the solution to this right
- 10:00here, y'all, once you wake up, it's going to be painful.
- 10:03It's going to, it's going to suck.
- 10:04Let's keep it, let's keep it hiding ready like a little
- 10:06Caesar pizza. Once you wake up, it's going to
- 10:10suck. Like if you've had this
- 10:13awakening moment, just drop a thumbs up in the chat and see
- 10:15how many thumbs up I can get in the chat and what not.
- 10:17If you had that awakening moment, just hit the thumbs up
- 10:20in the chat and whatnot, right? It's going to like when you wake
- 10:24up to narcissistic abuse and you start seeing narcissist and
- 10:27toxicity all around you, it's going to be painful because it's
- 10:30going to feel like your entire world, your entire existence was
- 10:34built on a lie, right? But this is where your like,
- 10:38this is actually where the power begins.
- 10:40This is where your power starts in this situation.
- 10:42Because now that you see the patterns, you can stop them.
- 10:46Now that you see the red flags earlier, you can get out of it
- 10:49earlier. Like now that you see this
- 10:51person being abusive, you can get away from them a lot faster
- 10:54than what you might have been accustomed to get away from
- 10:56them, right? You have boundaries now.
- 10:58You are the gatekeeper of your peace.
- 11:00You can gatekeep your own peace. Damn, that's so powerful.
- 11:05Like you don't have to let people in your life because they
- 11:08be like you don't have to keep people in your life because
- 11:10they've been there for a long time.
- 11:11Like this space is the space for good people in your life is not
- 11:15it is it's limited, right? You got you got you got to have
- 11:18a special passcode. You have to have a special
- 11:20access code to get access to me or get access to you in a
- 11:24situation right here, right? Like you don't have to let
- 11:27people in your life because they've been there for a long
- 11:28time. Like family, friends, whoever it
- 11:31is, coworkers, your work, wife, work husband.
- 11:33Like if they steal your peace, they don't get to experience
- 11:38your presence. They don't get to be in your
- 11:40life if they take peace from you.
- 11:42If it comes at the cost of your peace, it's not worth it.
- 11:46Oh, that was fire. Have you ever heard it before?
- 11:49If it cost me my peace, it's not worth it.
- 11:51If it cost me my peace, wait a minute.
- 11:57If it somebody said if it cost you your piece, it's too
- 11:59expensive. OK, that's a different I like.
- 12:01I've never heard it like that before.
- 12:05And don't y'all take them out of trademark.
- 12:06That right there, Carly, What's going on, girl?
- 12:12Baby on the way. I see car.

- 15:51have to realize the truth on their own or realize how how

- 15:57sometimes they have to be embarrassed.
- 15:58What not you really have to embarrass them sometimes for
- 16:01them to see as I I saw somebody asked a question about the one
- 16:03on ones every You can find everything here.
- 16:06Y'all mental illness.net everything here.
- 16:09If y'all have, where is it at? If y'all have kids with a
- 16:16narcissistic partner and you're wondering how to talk to your
- 16:18kids about toxic relationships and dealing with narcissism and
- 16:21what the whatever, right? I have a kids book.
- 16:24It's called Remember It's not your fault.
- 16:26It's on Amazon. This book is a good conversation
- 16:29starter to have with your parents or to have with your
- 16:32children about narcissistic relationship.
- 16:34Is it just opens the door, y'all?
- 16:36It really just opens the door for for conversations with kids
- 16:39and helps them understand that nothing that's happening to them
- 16:43is their fault. So I just dropped the link.
- 16:46Yeah, the link looks like this like a bunch of words, but this
- 16:49is the link to my kids. But remember, it's not your
- 16:53fault. So make sure you check that out
- 16:54on Amazon. That cut fresh.
- 17:03I just got to cut downtown clean.
- 17:05Clean cuts in Hillsborough, Clean cuts in Hillsborough, NC,
- 17:11Clean cuts Hillsborough, NC. That's where I got my hair cut
- 17:14at a couple days ago. I got the book a while back.
- 17:16It's an excellent book. Yay, she said.
- 17:18It's an excellent book for children.
- 17:19Love that, love it, love it. Is it a different process when
- 17:24you're an ex abuse you physically, It's the the healing
- 17:28process is going to be different for everybody.
- 17:30But once it crosses the threshold and the physical
- 17:32abuse, it can get deeper sometimes, right, physical,
- 17:35emotional, mental, it can get a lot deeper.
- 17:38You know what I'm saying? So I think that's important to
- 17:39recognize as well and sit down and talk to a therapist because
- 17:42again, the healing's going to take time.
- 17:45Healing absolutely, absolutely going to take time.
- 17:47Liz, I love your children's, but appreciate it, dude, Dude, I
- 17:51don't blame you for not answering.

- 18:11So we're we're down there not quite a bit.
- 18:14We don't know. At least once twice a year.
- 18:17That book is beautifully written.
- 18:19Appreciate it. You get narcissism a lot from
- 18:22helping us. I don't think you know.
- 18:23Yeah, I love helping people. Y'all Police officers can also
- 18:28be narcs. One of them injured me when I
- 18:29was screaming. He kept.
- 18:31Oh, God. Yeah.
- 18:32Just being real. You get a lot of that, that
- 18:34that's what you refer to as a communal narcissist.
- 18:37Y'all, when you get people that have these good jobs and what?
- 18:41Whatever, Right. Communal narcissist or police
- 18:44officers, firefighters, pastors, people that have jobs like the
- 18:50doctors, people that help the public, the community, that help
- 18:53the community. Communal narcissist, right?
- 18:59That's what police officer, a police officer that's a
- 19:01narcissist tends to be a communal narcissist and they can
- 19:04just say, Hey, look, I helped the community.
- 19:08So what do you get hurt? Do you get many narcs commenting
- 19:13on your stuff here in Facebook? I used to get, honestly, I used
- 19:15to get more narcissists that commented on my stuff.
- 19:17But now I've been around for so long, that thing they, they just
- 19:19like, well, we, we didn't comment on this shit for years
- 19:22and he ain't going nowhere. So let's just, you know, let's
- 19:24take our battle elsewhere there Lee Hammock is here.
- 19:27They, they know that I'm here to stay.
- 19:29So they know I'm not going anywhere, right?
- 19:32They know that's what's going on, what's happening.
- 19:34They know I'm good, I'm Gucci, I'm not going anywhere.
- 19:39Police officers, judges, any career that offers power they
- 19:41will look for. Yeah, absolutely correct.
- 19:43Some of them are called successful nor successful
- 19:46sociopaths, Psychopaths. And read today.
- 19:48Yeah, Is it possible to be friends with the after a year of
- 19:53no contact in awakening? I wouldn't break no contact if
- 19:55you don't have to, right, Because there's a reason you
- 19:57would be no contact. I wouldn't try to be friends
- 19:59with somebody that hurt you in a relationship.
- 20:02You know, that's just my perspective.
- 20:03I wouldn't try to be friends with somebody that was abusive
- 20:06towards you because they can be abusive in friendship as well.
- 20:09It's not like this with this lives of waking up and realizing
- 20:12that some of your friends are abusive, manipulative
- 20:15narcissists as well, right? I wouldn't.
- 20:19They aren't going to change. No, it's just they, the, the
- 20:21abuse would just change to a different form of abuse because
- 20:24your friends at your friends as opposed to lovers and most of
- 20:28them don't respect that boundary of friendship.
- 20:30They'll still try to sleep with you or whatever case may be,
- 20:33would you walk away from church? Where two of the would you walk
- 20:35away from church where two of the three pastors are
- 20:37narcissistic me. Hell yeah.
- 20:40Don't do what I don't, don't do what I do, though.
- 20:42Hell yeah, 'cause this is, this is just blasphemy.
- 20:45That's that's like going to church full of blasphemy if the
- 20:47pastors are relying and being manipulative and sleeping with
- 20:51some of the parishioners and sleeping with sleeping with the
- 20:53congregation, man, hell, hey, I would not set foot in that
- 20:56church. You going that church can go to
- 20:58church going to set a blaze, right?
- 21:01That church going to catch on fire.
- 21:03That's what that's what I would do, right?
- 21:05That's what I would do. They don't want to be a friend.
- 21:08They want something to play with.
- 21:09They just want access to you. I wouldn't be their friend.
- 21:11You know, that's just me. Again, y'all don't y'all going
- 21:13to do what y'all want to do, but that's just me, y'all.
