Transcript
- 0:00So what happens when you tell a narcissist no?
- 0:04When you use that 2 letter word against that toxic narcissistic
- 0:10person? When you just look them directly
- 0:12in their face and say no? How would they react?
- 0:16What would they do? That's what we're covering
- 0:19today. Y'all.
- 0:20Of course, if you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:21I'm a diagnosed narcissist here to give you the inside look at
- 0:24the mind of a narcissist and let's hop right into it.
- 0:27Y'all Seriously? One of the main words, if not
- 0:30the main word that narcissists hate the most is the word no.
- 0:35I think that most if not all people can agree upon that.
- 0:39I think that most, if not all people can agree that
- 0:42narcissists hate hearing the word no.
- 0:45Because if you tell a narcissist no, most if not all of
- 0:51narcissists will lose their damn minds because narcissists hate
- 0:57to hear that word. Like the word no is such a short
- 1:00word. It's only 2 letters, right?
- 1:03It's such a small word, but it's so powerful because it carries
- 1:07to a narcissist, it carries so much weight and so much shame
- 1:12with it that it can make them go crazy.
- 1:15And if you've dealt with this type of person, if you've been
- 1:18dealing with this type of person, you know exactly what
- 1:19I'm saying. If you say no to them, they can
- 1:23lose it. A lot of y'all get it.
- 1:27You get it. You're like, well, damn, Lee,
- 1:28you're right. I told my partner no and he
- 1:31tried to take my life. Yeah, they tell.
- 1:33Yeah. Some of these are suggested.
- 1:34People are crazy. Let's be real.
- 1:37Some of them are absolutely crazy.
- 1:38Some of them will lose their minds.
- 1:40They will. Because no makes them feel
- 1:44rejection. Because no makes them feel
- 1:47shame. Because no means no more access.
- 1:50Because no means no contact. You see what I'm saying, Like no
- 1:55means no power or less power in this situation.
- 1:58So whatever, whatever the situation is, it could be
- 2:01something small. There doesn't have to be some
- 2:03type of majorly huge situation where you're dealing with this
- 2:06narcissist, right? It means something small or
- 2:09small in compare in comparison to, you know, the large issues
- 2:12that you can be dealing with the narcissist, right?
- 2:14Like it doesn't have to be something huge if they're asking
- 2:17you to do something right or asking you to get back with
- 2:20them, asking you to give them another chance, asking you to
- 2:24just love them and just forgive them for whatever they've done
- 2:27to you and you just say no or some form of it.
- 2:30You make them feel that rejection.
- 2:32Man, you better, some of you better watch out because the
- 2:36more you tell them no, the more some of them will lose their
- 2:40minds, the more some of them will become aggravated and some
- 2:43of them will come become violent.
- 2:45I literally did a one-on-one call.
- 2:48I still I still do those over zoom mental illness that net.
- 2:52I did a one-on-one call the other day right and the woman
- 2:55said she told her partner no, like she was like super tired
- 2:58and he wanted to he wanted to clap some cheeks at night and
- 3:02she's like, no, can we do it? Wait till tomorrow morning?
- 3:04I'm just super tired. I had the kids all day.
- 3:06I work you don't work. I've been you've been sitting at
- 3:09home all day. I'm just exhausted.
- 3:10Let's do this tomorrow. This man literally took it.
- 3:14S ate her. He literally he's like if you
- 3:18don't get him, I want to take it.
- 3:19I I have needs you gonna meet those and if you don't meet
- 3:22those needs, I'm going to take and he's just literally
- 3:24assaulted her and I think she in the pressing charges on the I
- 3:28don't know if he got locked. I don't know how he ended up
- 3:29going, but he literally assaulted her because she sold
- 3:32the work showed him no that she didn't want to do.
- 3:34She didn't say no, not ever. She just said not right now.
- 3:40Tomorrow morning, give me a couple.
- 3:41I didn't sleep on it right and his man lost his mind and
- 3:44literally S aid her took it from her and act like nothing
- 3:48happened. Went right to sleep, act like
- 3:49nothing happened. Woke up in the morning, try to
- 3:51kiss her. She says I had a great night
- 3:53last night babe after he assaulted her just 'cause she
- 3:57said the word no. I'm just telling you the word no
- 4:00carries so much power and weight with narcissistic people.
- 4:03I'm afraid of the word no. I promise you this is this is
- 4:07real life right here. I promise you I'm so I used to
- 4:10be. I'm still afraid of it now, but
- 4:12not as much as I used to be. I used to be so afraid of the
- 4:16word no that I I will let it hold me back from actually doing
- 4:19things that I actually wanted to do.
- 4:21Like if it was a girl I wanted to talk to, an opportunity I
- 4:24wanted to pursue. I was so afraid of the word no
- 4:27that I just wouldn't do it because hey, at least I didn't
- 4:29get told no. I might have missed out on an
- 4:32amazing opportunity, but at least I didn't get at least I
- 4:35didn't get that rejection right. At least I didn't hear the word
- 4:37no, right. At least at least I have the
- 4:39ability to navigate forward, right?
- 4:42That's what be going on. That's what be happening.
- 4:45Because if you're dealing with a narcissistic person, like they
- 4:48don't want to hear that word, that word is just like I'm it's
- 4:51like the narcissist kryptonite. You know, a lot of narcissists
- 4:54think they're Superman. We think we're Superman, right?
- 4:57The our kryptonite is the word no.
- 5:02I know that sounds crazy, but it seriously, it is like this is
- 5:06not a test that you want to do. I'm just saying if you want, if
- 5:09you did this test, you probably get these results that I'm
- 5:12bother to describe. If you want them to your
- 5:14narcissistic partner and they ask you something simple, simple
- 5:18and you say no, This is what I'm just telling and they lose their
- 5:21minds. They start screaming and yelling
- 5:23at you or they give you the silence remit that shows you how
- 5:26much, how powerful the word no is.
- 5:29And yes, if you tell the narcissist no, sooner or later
- 5:32they're going to try to get you back.
- 5:34If you deny me access, deny me something, say no to me, make me
- 5:37feel rejected, I'm never going to forget it.
- 5:40And sooner or later, when you need something from me, which I
- 5:44think that you inevitably will, I'm going to be able to say no
- 5:47to you. Even if it's hurt, if it, even
- 5:49if it's going to hurt me. Narcissistic people will cut out
- 5:53their nose to spite their faces. They will just burn the whole
- 5:56house down in this situation. They will hurt themselves just
- 6:00to get back at you. That's the ego.
- 6:02The ego that three letter word is, is is at the mercy of that
- 6:07two letter word. Their ego is at the mercy of the
- 6:09word no. And This is why I tell people
- 6:12get if you want to spot a narcissist early on, get used to
- 6:17saying the word no. Don't be afraid to say the word
- 6:20no. Use it like a weapon.
- 6:22It is your yo. The word no is absolutely a
- 6:25weapon for you. Use it.
- 6:28Use it early and use it often. You want to spot a a narcissist
- 6:31from a healthy minded person, say no.
- 6:34Seriously, just say the word no because they will activate them.
- 6:40Now, if you're afraid to say no, if you're a people pleaser, woo,
- 6:45you're going to be in for a wild ride, y'all.
- 6:46I try to shake my hair just now. The dread, It was a phantom
- 6:49dread moment. Phantom locks moment right
- 6:51there. I just try to shake my hair.
- 6:53I like my Nichols itching. I try to shake my hair off my
- 6:55neck and it's gone. There's no hair here, y'all.
- 6:58There's nothing. There's nothing here anymore.
- 7:01It's gone. It's gone.
- 7:03No, I didn't look that, y'all. Yeah, yeah.
- 7:07Man, I gotta look. Cut, look, cut, look, cut.
- 7:09Look something. Look some, some slight.
- 7:11Some slight no but seriously man, I I tell people when I'm
- 7:18doing my coaching calls and I'm doing my and whatnot, I tell
- 7:21people just say the word no and see how people react.
- 7:25Early on. If you just got out of a toxic
- 7:27relationship and you're looking to start dating and you want to
- 7:31know how to spot a narcissist early on, you want to know how
- 7:34to spot a manipulator or a toxic person or an unhealthy minded
- 7:38person, say no. You don't have to say yes to
- 7:42everything, even if you like really like a person.
- 7:45Even if you really like a person and they ask you to do something
- 7:49that you don't want to do, you can absolutely say the word no
- 7:55and see how they react. A healthy minded person, when
- 7:58you set a boundary and say the word no or you just say no and
- 8:02they a healthy minded person will respect that, perhaps offer
- 8:06you an alternative that suits you, you know.
- 8:09Hey, you want to go out tomorrow night?
- 8:10Hey, I really had a good amazing first date.
- 8:13What about you? Want to continue this thing
- 8:14tomorrow night? We can have another date
- 8:16tomorrow. No, I don't.
- 8:18No, that doesn't work for me. Rah, you whore.
- 8:23I thought you liked me. I thought we were vibing.
- 8:26I thought you really was serious about dating me.
- 8:29Rah. Is that healthy or unhealthy?
- 8:33Now take this example right here.
- 8:35Hey. Hey.
- 8:36I had an amazing time last night on tonight on our first date.
- 8:40Let's do this thing again tomorrow.
- 8:42Will tomorrow work for a second date?
- 8:44No, it doesn't really work for me.
- 8:47OK, cool. Just yeah, if if you like me, we
- 8:49feel each other like throw throw me out some other dates that
- 8:51might work for you. I can accommodate your schedule.
- 8:55OK, I'll let you know maybe a couple a couple days from now.
- 8:58You see which one is, which one was healthy and which one was
- 9:01not healthy. If someone rages and yells and
- 9:04screams at you for saying no to a second date or not that or
- 9:07just this next date doesn't work, this next date for our
- 9:11second date doesn't work and they snap on you.
- 9:15You see what I'm saying? Leave that person alone.
- 9:19Leave them alone. Don't just get confused.
- 9:21Well, I just think they really like me.
- 9:22They really want to see me, so they yelled at me and spit in my
- 9:24face and stuff like that. They was, they were.
- 9:25So you were yelling so loud that spit was flying there when this
- 9:29just means that they like me Rightly.
- 9:30No, no I know some of y'all were like well damn.
- 9:35But I've had it happen before. I gave it a second chance.
- 9:38Don't most people regret giving toxic people when especially
- 9:42when they when they show their true colors at upfront and early
- 9:45and often. Most people regret giving that
- 9:47person a second chance. That's just the truth.
- 9:51Most people regret giving that person another chance to redeem
- 9:55themselves. Because of course, if they
- 9:56redeem this, you give them a chance to redeem themselves.
- 9:58They're going to be on their best behavior.
- 10:00Some people don't deserve a second date.
- 10:02Some people don't deserve an opportunity to redeem
- 10:04themselves. Especially if they're damn evil.
- 10:07If they've been evil and trying to hurt you, You see what I'm
- 10:10saying? If they've been evil and trying
- 10:12to hurt you on the first date, second day, whatever this is
- 10:16shows you who they are. Use the word no, because they
- 10:20cannot. Most narcissists, I ain't gonna
- 10:22say all, most narcissists can't handle it.
- 10:24They give you a they have to react to the word no.
- 10:28And sometimes they give you a visceral reaction to the word
- 10:32no. They absolutely will do it.
- 10:35They absolutely will give you a visceral reaction.
- 10:38Now, are there some narcissists who are who have damn near
- 10:41mastered the art of respecting you up front to manipulate you?
- 10:45Yes. Some of them will hear the word
- 10:46no and they're internally they'd be boiling internally.
- 10:50It's like, it's like the the lava is flowing, not even blood.
- 10:53It's like lava and hot stuff flowing through their veins When
- 10:57you tell them the word no, but they might just say, OK, cool,
- 11:01give me another night. Everybody say you have to use it
- 11:04early and often because they're sooner or later their armor is
- 11:07going to crack. The little narcissistic armor,
- 11:10the little narcissistic coat of arms is going to crack sooner or
- 11:13later. So you have to stay on it.
- 11:15You have to stay empowered in these situations and keep
- 11:18telling them no because I promise you.
- 11:21And at the end of the day, it's going to help you out
- 11:24tremendously to be able to say no to this type of person
- 11:28because it's going to help empower you so much.
- 11:30I promise you. Just say no.
- 11:32Just say no. Y'all remember dare DARE back in
- 11:35the day? I forgot what it stand for but
