- 2:46you. Hey, Joey, you have the worst
- 2:48Guinea pig in the world. And then you just snap you like,

- 2:55phone. Oh, why are you throwing stuff
- 2:57at me? It's just a Guinea pig.
- 2:59I tried. All I tried to do was feed your
- 3:02Guinea pig and you're throwing stuff at me.
- 3:05Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
- 3:08Oh, my goodness. You see what I'm saying?
- 3:10Now, I got you and your little dog too, Toto.
- 3:15And your little dog too. One of my roommates does that.
- 3:20Yeah. They got you, don't they?
- 3:26They got you. Now, that's precisely why
- 3:29controlling those reactions is so important.
- 3:31Y'all hear me? I've been preaching that for
- 3:32years. And people.
- 3:34Look, the crazy thing about it is when I tell people
- 3:36controlling your reactions to the superpower, people get mad
- 3:38at me. Lee, how am I supposed to
- 3:41control my reactions when this, this is this?
- 3:43I'm like, look, you can either be mad at me.
- 3:45You look, you're not even controlling your reactions by
- 3:47getting angry at me. This is an example.
- 3:49I ain't did nothing to you. I ain't did nothing to you.
- 3:52You started telling me you mad at me.
- 3:54You're you're giving me a reaction.
- 3:57You can't even control it with me.
- 3:58I'm just trying to give you some advice.
- 4:00So I know damn well you're not going to control it with the
- 4:02person in your household or your boss or your roommate or your
- 4:05friend or your parent, whoever it is, right?
- 4:07You can't control it in my college section.
- 4:09Damn sure they can't control it in real life.
- 4:11So it's just like people get mad just like leave that.
- 4:14I'm like, look, you can either control those reactions or, or
- 4:19you can look like the bad guy. There's y'all know how many one
- 4:22on ones I've done with people after the my one on ones are
- 4:24resumed and stuff like that. You know how many ones were the
- 4:27ones I've done with people, The victims that have the charges on
- 4:31them, the victims of the abuse, the victims in the toxic
- 4:36relationship are the ones with the charges.
- 4:40The narcissist or abuser. Court them, court their reaction
- 4:45on camera and now they have charges.
- 4:48Now they have a protective order.
- 4:50You see what I'm saying? Now they look like the bad guy.
- 4:54Let me show you. Let me show you how.
- 4:55Let me show you how Angela treats me.
- 4:58This is what she did. This you see this right here.
- 5:01This is exactly what she does. This is this is this is what I
- 5:04deal with behind closed doors. Y'all don't know what I go
- 5:07through whole time. I'm the whole time.
- 5:09I'm the abuser. I'm the cheater, right?
- 5:13I'm the cheater. And yes, you're absolutely
- 5:15right. I didn't read what you're
- 5:16saying. But let's say when you are
- 5:17reactive, narcissist can control you easily.
- 5:19Yeah, whole time. I'm the user, I'm the abuser.
- 5:23I'm the liar, I'm the cheater. But guess who looked like it?
- 5:26You. You look like it because you
- 5:29couldn't control yourself. And I know it's tough.
- 5:31I'm not trying to make you, I'm not trying to make it seem like
- 5:33it's an easy thing to do. I know it's not easy to control
- 5:35yourself when you have an abuser that's poking, poking, poking,
- 5:38poking, poking you, right? I know it's not easy.
- 5:40I'm just saying it's necessary because they're trying to set
- 5:43you off. They want the evidence for the
- 5:45smear campaign, right? They want the evidence for the
- 5:48smear campaign. And you know, the goal of a
- 5:50smear campaign is to sometimes to be ordered to be the goal of
- 5:55a smear campaign can sometimes be in essence, in order for them
- 5:59to play the victim. I'd let you sit with it for a
- 6:07little bit, didn't it? To play the victim.
- 6:10They love it. They love to be the victim.
- 6:15And y'all, this reaction, whatever they got, whatever
- 6:17evidence they got, whatever ability they have to play the
- 6:20victim, they're going to use it to the end of time.
- 6:23They're never going to let it go.
- 6:26They are never going to let it go.
- 6:29They are absolutely or never going to let it go.
- 6:31They you can have a emotional reaction 15 years ago, but guess
- 6:36what? They bringing that thing up
- 6:38today. They using it today, they using
- 6:45it right now. It's present time and guess
- 6:47what, if you stop reacting like unapologetically me said they
- 6:52react that you going to get a bad reaction from them because
- 6:55they want their reaction so bad they they might get angry at you
- 7:00for not reacting. Imagine you just trying to chill
- 7:05and de escalate the situation, right?
- 7:06You're just trying to chill and de escalate the situation and
- 7:09they just screaming at you and throwing stuff at you.
- 7:11Now look, they yelling and screaming at you.
- 7:15You like, yeah, you look, you're Gray rocking.
- 7:22Amazing. Nice.
- 7:25That's cool. You're right.
- 7:28And they they start throwing stuff at you.
- 7:31They start hitting you. They start yelling and screaming
- 7:33at you because you're not reacting to them, right?
- 7:38You're not reacting to them. You know what I'm saying?
- 7:40You're not giving them a reaction.
- 7:42So they lose their damn minds, they lose it, they lose control.
- 7:47And that what goes on right there, they you, when you react,
- 7:50they, they love to play the victim, right?
- 7:53They love to play the victim. And another reason they do it,
- 7:55y'all, let's just say, and y'all are not going to like to hear
- 7:57this. Sometimes they just be bored.
- 8:04A bored abuser is a dangerous abuser, right?
- 8:08A bored narcissist is a dangerous narcissist.
- 8:11They get bored and just start doing stuff.
- 8:15They get bored and just start losing their damn minds.
- 8:18They get bored and start trying to hurt you or bring harm to
- 8:21you, right? You're just trying to chill and
- 8:24live your life right? You're just trying to chill and
- 8:27like they and they get bored of like I'm bored.
- 8:29All of a sudden they started arguing out of nowhere.
- 8:31You ever just been chilling one day and the old toxic ass party
- 8:34and just started arguing with you out of nowhere.
- 8:35You like, you just chilling. You like you, you chilling,
- 8:39enjoying your day, right? Like let's just say Lauren is
- 8:42chilling, enjoying her day. She's like la, la, la, la, la,
- 8:45la, la, la. We smiling for you know, I'm
- 8:48having a bad day. You go over there smiling.
- 8:50You like I'm just I'm just smiling.
- 8:53I see you smiling. What are you smiling for?
- 8:55You said how you he asked me. How about they going goddamn
- 8:57music, a horrible burst, you evil, and you're like, hey, I
- 9:00ain't oh, hold, hold up. I ain't even saying what what's
- 9:02what? Why you?
- 9:02Why you so angry? You know, you know, you like
- 9:05whoa, what the hell? Dang, what?
- 9:09I was just OK, I won't smile. Oh, now you're not going to
- 9:11smile because I told you. Now you're going to fake it.
- 9:14You can't win. You can't win laser like says
- 9:20you rocking the grey rock. Hey, I'm a grey rock
- 9:22professional. That's nice.
- 9:25Amazing. Yeah, you can't win.
- 9:30This is what they do to you out. Like seriously, this is exactly
- 9:33what you get a lot of abusive, manipulative, narcissistic
- 9:37people that they do. They do things just like this.
- 9:40They like to mess with you. They like to do the things like
- 9:43this because it sets the IT sets you off.
- 9:47It really does. It really sets you off and a lot
- 9:51of them, like I said, like to set you off on purpose.
- 9:55This is the thing about it. They love to set you off on
- 9:58purpose because when you get set off, you are not able to.
- 10:02Like they, like Angela said earlier, they can control you.
- 10:06They're absolutely able to control you.
- 10:08When you are set off, you can't control yourself.
- 10:12You can't do anything like that. They are absolutely in control.
- 10:15And narcissistic people, abusive people, love to be in control.
- 10:20They love to be in control. When you are angry, when you are
- 10:22losing, when you're losing your mind, and sometimes rightfully
- 10:25so, you have to, yeah, sometimes you have to.
- 10:27You have the right to be angry, but it's just when you are angry
- 10:30and it's out of control anger, even if it's righteous, they can
- 10:34make you look like the bad guy. You're going to start making
- 10:36decisions that you normally wouldn't make with a, with a
- 10:38calm, cool, collected mind. That's why I'm just saying when
- 10:42they're trying to set you off on purpose, that's why you got to
- 10:45do that type of stuff right there.
- 10:46That's why y'all just saw me earlier.
- 10:48Y'all saw me earlier. You, you got to learn y'all, You
- 10:51got to Gray, You got to learn how to Gray rock.
- 10:54You have to learn how to Gray rock.
- 10:57Lee, what's Gray rocking? Describe it.
- 10:59Go outside, pick up a rock in your front yard and describe it
- 11:02and what that rock look like, what that rock look like, what
- 11:06that Gray rock look like. It's boring.
- 11:10It's tough on the outside. Is it?
- 11:14Don't give you much of nothing, Lee.
- 11:15There's not much of nothing. There's not much of anything I
- 11:17can use to describe this is boring.
- 11:19It's Gray. It's hard.
- 11:21It's like a rock. Just like that's.
- 11:24There's not much that I can say about it.
- 11:26Exactly. When you're Gray rocking,
- 11:29there's not much that you need to say to them.
- 11:34You know what I'm saying? When you are Gray rocking,
- 11:37there's not much you have to say.
- 11:40They could be leveling the most evil.
- 11:42Like grey rocket is removing the energy, right?
- 11:46Grey rocket is removing the energy.
- 11:50You're not giving them any emotional energy, regardless of
- 11:52what they're saying to you. You know your mom was a whore,
- 11:55right? Yeah.
- 11:58Yeah, your dad, too. Your daddy paid your Mama $40
- 12:02and he hit it, and you were born.
- 12:04Yo. They were never in love.
- 12:05You know you're a bastard baby, right?
- 12:08Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. I'm a.
- 12:11She's very bastard. I'm a bastard child.
- 12:13Yeah. And you.
- 12:14And you. You ugly too.
- 12:16I'm the ugliest. And you out of shape.
- 12:19You fat. Yeah.
- 12:20I can leave them. I can lose a little bit.
- 12:23I hate you. Well, I love you now.
- 12:25I don't say I love you, but you know what I'm saying.
- 12:27He's taking it away. You're not giving them nothing.
- 12:36You're not giving them nothing. What'd you say?
- 12:38My mind is trying to do me like that.
- 12:39Now I know why. There you go power up, power up.
- 12:42I'm headed into that position next with my narc ex police and
- 12:44tips. I'm worried about the question
- 12:46to be stay calm, stay focused. You have the you have the truth
- 12:49on your side, but it just if you're in court with them, don't
- 12:53just look at them y'all, because if you're in court with a
- 12:55narcissist, don't just look at them because you look across the
- 12:57table. Look at look at look, look,
- 12:59look, look at them from the witness stand.
- 13:01You'll see those big bulging eyes, little big bulging eyes
- 13:05staring at you like this. And you would like they they'd
- 13:07be staring a hole in you just like this.
- 13:09And you be like the eyes going a different direction like a damn
- 13:11chameleon. When I going up here, When I
- 13:14going down here, they're just looking at you scowling.
- 13:16You know what I mean? Eye dancing around like it's
- 13:18loose. You know, you don't have to make
- 13:21eye contact with them. Yeah, I know some people will
- 13:23tell you to go into court and somebody, some people tell you
- 13:26to go into court and stare that bastard down.
- 13:28Stare them down. You don't have to.
- 13:32You don't have to. It doesn't make you any less of
- 13:33a survivor to not go in there and stare at them.
- 13:36It doesn't make you any less of a thriver and not going out
- 13:39there and stare at them. It doesn't just be prepared.
- 13:41They're going to lie. Take notes, take notes, stay
- 13:44cool, calm and collected because just like this, just like just
- 13:46like this live is about them trying to trigger you on
- 13:49purpose. Sometimes they go into depth
- 13:51positions and try to trigger you on purpose.
- 13:52You're going to hear some, you might hear some crazy ass stuff
- 13:55about yourself and they want you to react.
- 13:57They want you to lose your cool while they're talking because in
- 14:00front of a judge or mediator, whoever you're in front of,
- 14:03they're going to like, can you please come down?
- 14:04Let them speak. They let you speak now why you
- 14:06like you have to let them speak. They lying though.
- 14:08They lying. If you don't let them speak, I'm
- 14:10going to have to rule in their favor.
- 14:12I just can't let you do like right there.
- 14:13You know what I'm saying it just like that right there.
- 14:16Yeah. Don't you got to act like the
- 14:18narcissist or your abuser is Medusa.
- 14:20Like you got to act like that, Medusa.
- 14:21You cannot stay. You know how you stare at
- 14:22Medusa? You turn into stone.
- 14:25You don't want to turn into the stone.
- 14:26I like you. I like if you stare at them, you
- 14:28going to turn into stone, right? But that's what's going to
- 14:32happen. He going to turn the stone and
- 14:33lose your case 'cause they're going to mess with you.
- 14:35Or you look at them and they'll be like, they'll, they'll be
- 14:37mouthing to you. And you can be like, oh, my
- 14:41trauma. Oh, my beating heart.

- 14:48They just stared at me across the courtroom and give me those
- 14:50longing loving eyes and they said I love you.
- 14:53Drop the charges please. No no no, that just says the
- 14:59narcissist I I dealt with always triggered me and pulled me up,
- 15:02pulled out the phone to re up so they can play the victim and say
- 15:05that you were abuser. Yep, that's exactly what that's,
- 15:07that's reactive abuse 101 right there.
- 15:10They love to make you look like the abuser and you will.

- 15:17emotions, you don't control those reactions, you are going
- 15:20to look like the abuser. I promise you, you will.

- 18:36The doors already unlocked. Oh, hell no.
- 18:37Hell no. What does one do when holding an
- 18:41ARC accountable? Mine has been hemorrhaging money
- 18:43on prostitutes. In their position I get to
- 18:44confront him. So just hit him with the truth
- 18:47right? You have to you in order to hold
- 18:48him accountable you have to have some type of leverage and the
- 18:51the truth. You have to have a way to make
- 18:53them uncomfortable and make them move.
- 18:54So if they have you have leverage and you have to,
- 18:57sometimes they exposing them could be enough.
- 18:59Honestly, you know, I should believe or feel like they're
- 19:03never enough. Yeah, I think a lot of
- 19:05narcissistic people, they might not say that out loud, but I
- 19:07think most narcissists feel like they are.
- 19:08They are not enough and then no one else is enough for them.
- 19:12So it's both. It's kind of a double edged
- 19:14swords. I am not enough, but no one else
- 19:16is enough for me, if that makes sense, y'all.
- 19:18But I do have to hop over here y'all to to my one-on-one call.
- 19:21I got to get prepped really quick before I get on here.
