• 0:18
  Code. So welcome back, Welcome back,
• 0:38
  welcome back. Yes, y'all Bitter, bitter Betty.
• 0:41
  Bitter, bitter Bob. You know, a lot of narcissistic
• 0:45
  people end up being super bitter about life in the yeah, this is
• 0:51
  the crazy thing about it. A lot of narcissists can be very
• 0:56
  successful people. They can have everything that
• 1:00
  you want, that everything in their life that they actually,
• 1:05
  you know, set out to achieve. They could achieve it everything
• 1:10
  in their life that anybody else will want.
• 1:12
  They have the they could have the life that other people pray
• 1:16
  for, the other people dream of the celebrity lifestyle and not
• 1:20
  be happy and still be a bitter person.
• 1:22
  I know people are just like why? Why in the hell is that Lady?
• 1:26
  Like why can't you have a super super successful narcissist and
• 1:29
  them still be extremely bitter towards the world and towards
• 1:33
  people? Why?
• 1:34
  Help me Lee, help me out. Help me explain y'all shaking,
• 1:37
  Stop shaking me, stop shaking me.
• 1:40
  It's yeah. One of the things that makes a
• 1:43
  lot of narcissists bitter, even if they are super successful is
• 1:45
  jealousy. They can be jealous of of you
• 1:49
  being. They can be jealous of people
• 1:50
  who have less, who have less monetary, who have less
• 1:54
  financial security than them and things like that.
• 1:57
  Who have less houses and cars and who have less success.
• 2:01
  Who have less success. Air quotes on the on the podcast
• 2:04
  because they're jealous. Because you can be happy with
• 2:08
  what you have. You can be content about what
• 2:13
  you have. You can be grateful for what you
• 2:16
  have. You can live in the moment.
• 2:18
  A lot of narcissist don't possess that ability.
• 2:22
  Then it kills them. It destroys us from the inside
• 2:25
  out. It's just like the bitter, you
• 2:27
  know, like the bitter bug takes over us and eats us away from
• 2:30
  the inside out. So even if we achieve success,
• 2:33
  even if we achieve what other, what would fulfill other people,
• 2:37
  what we think would fulfill us? We are still unhappy.
• 2:43
  So that makes us bitter. And if I tell people, if you got
• 2:46
  a narcissistic person, if we're relatively young or whatever, in
• 2:49
  their 20s, thirties or whatever, 40s, you know, 5050 fifty years
• 2:53
  young nowadays, 6060 ish. Yeah, yeah, I know.
• 2:56
  If you have a narcissist that is relatively relatively young,
• 2:59
  younger, young is objective to the person you know, you
• 3:03
  physically objective to the person that's person, right.
• 3:07
  They don't get better as they get older.
• 3:10
  If there is nothing that is helping them to assist them and
• 3:14
  getting better, if there's if there's no therapy, if there's
• 3:16
  no nothing out, no one out there assisting them or helping them
• 3:20
  grow. And this is not me trying to
• 3:21
  trying to say you should do that.
• 3:23
  If there's no professional helping them grow and change
• 3:28
  their behaviors, then they are going to keep getting older and
• 3:31
  more better. Why do I have like this is the
• 3:34
  question that goes on the side of narcissist's mind.
• 3:36
  Why do I have all of this stuff And I am still bitter?
• 3:41
  I'm still unhappy. Why do I have all of this stuff
• 3:44
  and I'm still unhappy? Why do I have the life that I
• 3:47
  dreamt of? Why have I achieved all of my
• 3:49
  goals? Why have I hit every marker that
• 3:52
  I wanted to hit and I'm still unhappy?
• 3:55
  That makes you angry. And that anger can lead to
• 3:57
  bitterness. So you can have some super
• 4:00
  successful bitter ass people that you just don't want to be
• 4:05
  around, you know? And it confuses y'all because
• 4:09
  you see this narcissistic person and you just like damn you, you
• 4:12
  have it all. You should be happy, you know?
• 4:14
  Objectively, you should be happy as hell right now.
• 4:17
  I would kill for your life, you know, objectively they should be
• 4:21
  happy. But they are not eats away at
• 4:23
  them because they cannot be happy.
• 4:25
  You know, I don't think narcissists, you know what I
• 4:28
  mean? I don't think narcissistic
• 4:30
  people have the ability to be truly happy.
• 4:34
  And that's my perspective. I think we can have moments of
• 4:38
  happiness. You know, I think happiness is
• 4:40
  fleeting with narcissists, right?
• 4:42
  I think happiness comes and goes super fast, you know?
• 4:45
  And no no matter how how fast we run, no matter how much success
• 4:49
  we build up, no matter how much we do, we are still unhappy.
• 4:54
  And that causes that bitterness, you know, It really, really
• 4:57
  tells you know it. It, it makes you resentful.
• 5:00
  I resent you for being able to be happy, and I can't.
• 5:04
  You know, why can't I be? Why can't I be happy with all
• 5:07
  that I have? And you're happy with what you
• 5:09
  have. You don't have to be, you know,
• 5:11
  you don't have to achieve more to be happier.
• 5:14
  So you that's why you get a lot of narcissists, right, that will
• 5:18
  question you about your happiness.
• 5:21
  They were questioning you about your goals and your ambitions
• 5:24
  and things like that. Like are you, you know?
• 5:26
  Are you just OK with being with that job right there?
• 5:31
  You know you don't want more out of life.
• 5:36
  That's all you want to be. You'll be happy with with what
• 5:39
  you have right now. That's the mindset right there.
• 5:42
  They think, you know what I'm saying, that that's where the
• 5:44
  mind goes right there. They think that you will be
• 5:48
  happy. Like they they just question
• 5:50
  your happiness, like you can't be happy with what you have
• 5:53
  because I wouldn't be happy with what you have, You know I can't
• 5:58
  be happy with what you have because you know you.
• 6:01
  No, you can't be happy with what you have because I wouldn't be
• 6:05
  happy with what you have. You see that assumption right
• 6:07
  there? When a narcissistic person tries
• 6:09
  to be introspective, it ends up negative.
• 6:12
  That's why you get some narcissist.
• 6:13
  They don't want to be introspective.
• 6:15
  They don't want to put themselves in other people's
• 6:17
  shoes. They don't want the empathy.
• 6:18
  They don't want that because why can't like you, you see it.
• 6:22
  Y'all I'm just telling you, it does really make people, you
• 6:25
  know, just feel like it's not fair.
• 6:27
  They make you feel like life is not fair.
• 6:29
  Why the hell can I have all of this and not be happy?
• 6:34
  And I said a lot of times they are, they look, they don't have
• 6:36
  to be the Super successful narcissist.
• 6:38
  They can be the the unsuccessful narcissist.
• 6:42
  They can be the narcissist. They failed at everything in
• 6:44
  life and still be ultra bitter and resentful and jealous.
• 6:48
  You know, the success doesn't create the the resentment.
• 6:51
  It's the feeling about the success.
• 6:53
  It's a feeling about the failure.
• 6:55
  You get a narcissist that has a lack of resources and they are
• 6:58
  just feeling like, why don't I have more?
• 7:01
  I deserve more just because I am me.
• 7:04
  That entitlement says that's the entitled mindset.
• 7:07
  I deserve more just because I am me.
• 7:11
  I deserve more because of who I am.
• 7:13
  I deserve more because I am me and you are you.
• 7:17
  That's what the mind of a lot of narcissist goes right there.
• 7:20
  I deserve more just because I am me.
• 7:24
  So they get bitter when they people don't feel the same way.
• 7:27
  Oh you deserve more just because you are you.
• 7:29
  When other people don't feel the same way.
• 7:31
  A narcissistic person can become bitter or resentful towards them
• 7:35
  like it is. And y'all y'all know this y'all
• 7:37
  y'all y'all been around bitter unhappy ass narcissist.
• 7:39
  I I know I have. You know, I've been around super
• 7:44
  bitter, unhappy narcissist and like I say, I'm a self aware,
• 7:47
  diagnosed narcissist. I've been in there.
• 7:50
  Like I said, I've been in therapy for six years.
• 7:51
  I've dealt with narcissistic people.
• 7:53
  I have. That's one thing that I have
• 7:55
  been doing is dealing with narcissistic people, toxic
• 7:58
  people or whatever for years, you know, in my own real
• 8:02
  personal life. So when I see them thinking that
• 8:06
  they're supposed, like when I see a narcissist, like when I'm
• 8:09
  dealt, when I've dealt with them in the past and they hearing
• 8:12
  them, hearing them talk, they just like, man, why the hell
• 8:15
  can't we be that successful and we deserve to sell more houses?
• 8:18
  Because we are US and we're funny.
• 8:19
  We're, we're handsome dudes, man.
• 8:21
  Why can't we sell more houses? Why people don't want to buy
• 8:23
  with us? And you hear no qualification,
• 8:26
  no reviews, no nothing. I'm just entitled.
• 8:30
  So I'm bitter now that entitled meant entitled meant
• 8:34
  entitlement. No D in there.
• 8:36
  I say entitled meant that entitlement, that entitlement
• 8:41
  can cause narcissistic people to That entitlement can cause
• 8:46
  narcissistic people to be resentful and bitter.
• 8:49
  Why don't I have more? I know I'm not qualified for
• 8:52
  more. I know I don't have the you
• 8:56
  know, I know I don't have the resume.
• 8:58
  But I deserve the boss. I deserve the CEO position.
• 9:01
  I can run this company better than you can, even though you
• 9:04
  know I still don't have my GED. Even though I'm working on my,
• 9:07
  you know, I'm, you know, I'm working on it, I could be still
• 9:12
  be a better CEO than you. You get a lot of narcissists who
• 9:15
  have that mindset. They come from that place.
• 9:18
  Yeah, a lot of narcissists. Emotions come from a place of
• 9:20
  bitterness. They can be just bitter because
• 9:22
  you have a close family. They can be bitter because you
• 9:25
  have close friends. They can be bitter because
• 9:27
  people like you, when y'all go out, they can just have this
• 9:30
  unique mindset of bitterness and resentfulness that is delved up.
• 9:34
  It's delved up from deep. You know, it does happen quite a
• 9:39
  bit. It's the mindset.
• 9:40
  Is it? It really is.
• 9:41
  So I tell people all the time, narcissist and the Hoxie people
• 9:45
  will continue to do this type of stuff, but that's where we go,
• 9:48
  That's where the mind goes, Tony Robbins said one time.
• 9:51
  Like, success without fulfillment is the greatest
• 9:54
  failure that that lack of fulfillment causes a lot of
• 9:58
  narcissists to be resentful. And the crazy thing about it is
• 10:01
  they're resentful, like resentfulness.
• 10:03
  Bitterness is contagious. It's like a little it's like an
• 10:05
  infection. They're like you close to them,
• 10:09
  you will get infected. You know, it's airborne.
• 10:12
  Bitterness is airborne. It really is.
• 10:16
  So if you're in the same household as them, they're if
• 10:18
  they're breathing bitterness into the air, then you're
• 10:21
  breathing it in and they can make you a bitter person because
• 10:25
  you've become bitter and resentful because you're getting
• 10:27
  treated this way by a bitter, resentful person.
• 10:30
  So I'm not telling you to leave your relationship, I'm just
• 10:32
  telling you to do an inner scan of yourself.
• 10:35
  Scan yourself right now, like scan yourself like right now,
• 10:40
  and to see what a mindset to go, see where your mind is at right
• 10:43
  now. You know scan yourself right now
• 10:45
  to see where your mind is at, to see how things are going, to see
• 10:48
  how you're feeling, you know, because that could be a very
• 10:50
  unique mindset that could be, you know somewhere we go next
• 10:53
  because that's the that's the dynamics.
• 10:55
  So you have to protect yourself, protect your peace and get away
• 10:59
  from the you know you need the bitter.
• 11:01
  The bitter vaccine is self love. The bitter.
• 11:05
  The vaccine for bitterness is self love and gratitude.
• 11:10
