- 0:04I'm your favorite selfaware narcissist, Mr. Lee Hammock,
- 0:07better known as mental illness across all social media
- 0:09platforms. This is the first time I see my
- 0:11face to hear my lovely voice. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:14narcissist and I use my platform on social media to raise the
- 0:17words for NPD, get more people into the therapy like myself,
- 0:20and also validate the victims, survivors and thrivers of said
- 0:23disorder. Said toxic people.
- 0:25Said toxic traits and all the other good stuff.
- 0:26Y'all bad stuff as well. Today's episode is going to be
- 0:29about how do narcissists, Narcissists.
- 0:32How do narcissists mourn the loss of a relationship?
- 0:36We can do another episode later, yeah, about how narcissists
- 0:38mourn the loss of a family member or friend or the loss of
- 0:41some a loved one or something on all those lines.
- 0:45But today's episode is going to be about how do they mourn the
- 0:48loss of a relationship in general.
- 0:51So before we hop in today's episode, y'all make sure, if you
- 0:54haven't already, check out my self love journal on Amazon.
- 0:59That's helping out a lot of people.
- 1:01Liam MC I Love me a self love journal.
- 1:03And also my kids book. Oh my wife and I partnered on
- 1:06the kids book that's coming out soon.
- 1:08It's coming out. Oh my goodness, it's coming out.
- 1:10So we're it's finished, but we're we're putting the final
- 1:13session on it this week. But yeah, so so how do
- 1:18narcissists mourn the loss of a relationship?
- 1:21So the easiest way, the the most common way you see a narcissist
- 1:27mourn is. This is going to sound weird to
- 1:29a lot of people. Well, to some people, the main
- 1:32way a lot of narcissists mourn is by throwing themselves into a
- 1:35new relationship and love bombing and love bombing someone
- 1:41else. That's how they mourn.
- 1:44They don't want to mourn. Some narcissistic people do not
- 1:47want to mourn. They don't want to sit in the
- 1:49feelings of failure of this relationship.
- 1:52So they don't want to mourn the loss of a relationship.
- 1:55They want to move on. They want to get rid of these
- 1:58the nasty, dirty thoughts of failure, the rejection, the
- 2:01shame. They want to get rid of all of
- 2:04that. I don't want to sit in it.
- 2:05I don't want to deal with it. I don't want to feel it at all.
- 2:08So what I need to do to to mourn, to mourn is to move on
- 2:13quickly. It's to appear to move on
- 2:16quickly. It's to appear to be happy as
- 2:19hell in a new relationship. It's to appear to be just better
- 2:24off without you. That's what I need.
- 2:27That's how some narcissists mourn right there.
- 2:30Some of them will mourn the loss of relationship in another
- 2:33relationship because they because they don't want to sit
- 2:36in the hurt and the pain and the shame that dealing with
- 2:39whatever. However your relationship ended,
- 2:42they don't want to sit and deal with that.
- 2:44They don't want to sit with that pain and regret or whatever they
- 2:46did to. They don't want to sit with it.
- 2:49So in order to not sit with it, in order to focus my mind on
- 2:52something else, I hop into a new relationship.
- 2:55I hop into a new space. I hop into into something with a
- 2:58new person. I'm love bombing a new person.
- 3:02I look happy with the new person, but internally I'm in
- 3:05turmoil. Internally the the the clock is
- 3:09been. Internally I'm hurting it.
- 3:10I'm in pain. I don't want to be in this in
- 3:13this space, but I'm throwing my love and care and affection to a
- 3:16new person. So I don't have to think about
- 3:18you. If I'm loving this person, I'm
- 3:21trying not to think about you. I'm trying not to think about
- 3:24the the old relationship or whatever.
- 3:26But you know how that works out though, right?
- 3:28Because so many people ask me why do Narcis give them the new
- 3:31person, everything I ever asked for, everything I ever wanted?
- 3:33Because they're thinking about you.
- 3:36Think about it right there. Now this is not, though, y'all.
- 3:38If you're looking for a sign to give that toxic person another
- 3:42chance, this ain't it. I'm not the sign you're looking
- 3:44for. These are not the drawings
- 3:46you're looking for. Like I said before, that's the
- 3:48war. This is not a sign to go back
- 3:51into the toxic relationship. Just because they're thinking
- 3:53about you does not mean it's a positive thing, okay.
- 3:56But I'm just saying they throw themselves into something new to
- 3:59to because they're thinking about you.
- 4:00They give the new person everything that you wanted
- 4:02because they're still thinking about you.
- 4:04Oh, let me see it. Oh, my ex liked this.
- 4:07Let me see if this new person likes this.
- 4:11My ex loved this bar. Let me see if the new person
- 4:14likes this bar that I never took my ex to.
- 4:17My new person likes to my ex liked to travel or always wanted
- 4:22to go to this place. So let me see if this new person
- 4:24likes to do that. You see what I'm saying?
- 4:25That's why they give the new person everything that you want
- 4:27it. Because one, they know it works,
- 4:29and two, they know you wanted it.
- 4:32You own their mind. They were on their mind.
- 4:36That's why they do it though. They look, they look so happy in
- 4:40the new relationship because they are focusing on.
- 4:43They try not to focus on you. They try not to focus on the
- 4:47embarrassment, the shame, the pain of what happened.
- 4:50Especially if you confronted them.
- 4:52Especially if your relationship ended with a confrontation and
- 4:55you just you walked away or you they feel like you defeated
- 4:58them. They are of course they're going
- 5:00to throw themselves into this new relationship.
- 5:02Of course they're going to. They're going to try to hurt you
- 5:05with what they do. Of course, of course it looks
- 5:09like they won because right now you might be single and right.
- 5:13Right now, you might be single and they might look happy in a
- 5:16new relationship, but they're giving a new person everything
- 5:19that you wanted because they are not original people, first of
- 5:22all. And then also they know you
- 5:23wanted it. It all goes back to you.
- 5:26You hurt them, you rejected them, you shamed them.
- 5:29I don't care if they were cheating on you if you ended it.
- 5:32They they suck. They they throw themselves into
- 5:34something new. That's one way that they mourn.
- 5:37It's like throwing themselves into a new relationship.
- 5:42They throw themselves into a new relationship to mourn the loss
- 5:46of this original one. It doesn't mean the new
- 5:48relationship is better. It doesn't mean to lose new
- 5:50relationship is going to work out.
- 5:52It just means it's new. I need to throw myself into it.
- 5:55I need to focus on you now and try not to focus on this old
- 5:58person, but we most people know how that works.
- 6:00Somehow, some way, shape or form y'all in the reconnecting,
- 6:02talking or something like that, and I'll just get shared.
- 6:06That's how it goes. You see y'all know y'all dealt
- 6:09with it before. You understand the space you
- 6:11under. You know exactly what's going
- 6:12on. You get it.
- 6:14You don't make so many people don't see me like so many
- 6:16people, or fighting this battle. Or they see the new person happy
- 6:20and they always like, what about they?
- 6:22What about what happened to me? Y'all they either throwing
- 6:24themselves into something new they want a new relationship,
- 6:27moves quickly. I mean, I'm love bombing the new
- 6:30person because I need to forget about you.
- 6:32I try. I'm trying to forget about you.
- 6:34I can't. You can't simultaneously forget
- 6:36about something that you're thinking about.
- 6:37You know what I'm saying? You can't forget about something
- 6:41or someone that you're thinking about.
- 6:44You can't. How does it work out?
- 6:47Yeah, How does that work another way that a narcissistic person
- 6:52can mourn over the loss of relationship?
- 6:55Yeah, it's like smear campaigning you anger.
- 6:58Anger is mourning for some narcissistic people.
- 7:02They smear campaign the hell out of you.
- 7:03Could they both? Could they do both?
- 7:06Could they move on to someone new?
- 7:08And also smear campaign? Yeah, they can do both.
- 7:10But some people do. They do separate.
- 7:12You see what I'm saying? They separated like like a like
- 7:16a Thanksgiving play. They don't want the mashed
- 7:18potatoes and the macaroni and cheese and the casserole
- 7:22touching, the the the green bean casserole touching.
- 7:25They don't want all this stuff to touch.
- 7:27You see what I'm saying? You want to keep it neat.
- 7:30So they'll they don't. Some of them don't smear
- 7:31campaign you and move on to an X, but some people do both.
- 7:34Y'all. Some people mourn by smear
- 7:35campaigning. You.
- 7:37They hurt, they're hurt. They're hurting so bad.
- 7:39They're so goddamn anger and frustrated and just wants they
- 7:43want it. So a lot of them want to seek
- 7:44some vengeance. They want it so badly.
- 7:46They want their vengeance so badly.
- 7:48They they yeah, they want their vengeance and they want to hurt
- 7:51you so goddamn badly that they smear campaign you.
- 7:54They they try to discredit you. They try to hurt your feelings
- 7:56by spreading rumors and lies and stuff like that about you.
- 8:02They just do. That's one of the ways that they
- 8:04do this. Y'all.
- 8:05That's absolutely one of the ways that they will absolutely
- 8:09smear campaign the hell out of you.
- 8:12They're smoking because they're mourning, because they're hurt,
- 8:14because they're angry, because they're mad because the shame.
- 8:17Shame is attacking. Shame is on the attack out.
- 8:20And when shame attacks, narcissists flee.
- 8:23You see what I'm saying? Shame is like when shame is like
- 8:26when a narcissist. Shame is like when the shame,
- 8:30when shame attacks, narcissistic people flee.
- 8:33Shame is a light bulb that flicks on and then the roaches
- 8:37scatter. The the narcissistic roaches
- 8:40scatter when a shame light bulb comes up.
- 8:42I know y'all like Lee. What the hell are you talking
- 8:45about this imagery? Yeah, my mind is so imaginative.
- 8:47Goodness gracious mind. Just little narcissist.
- 8:50The cockroaches running away. But that's how they mourn.
- 8:55Y'all they will mourn you by throwing dirt on your name.
- 8:58They will mourn you by trying to bury your reputation, you know
- 9:02what I'm saying? They don't.
- 9:03They can't bury you as a person. Some of them will try.
- 9:05Some of them will absolutely try.
- 9:06Y'all that's next. But some of them will mourn you
- 9:10by trying to bury your regulation.
- 9:12They'll smear campaign you, they'll rage out on you.
- 9:13Stuff like that. Another way that some
- 9:16narcissists mourn y'all is by pure narcissistic rage,
- 9:18obsession and anger. Sometimes when the relationship
- 9:22ends, they mourn it by trying to end you.
- 9:25They great. Some of them, that was a lot of
- 9:26them go into narcissistic rage mode where they become super
- 9:29obsessive and they don't allow themselves to mourn.
- 9:32They don't. There's not a mourning period.
- 9:33They just over. They just over obsess with you
- 9:36and stalk you and harass you and threaten you and pop up on you
- 9:41and just just keep calling you back-to-back to back, texting
- 9:45you back-to-back to back, doing all of this stuff back-to-back
- 9:48to back-to-back to back. They don't want to, they don't
- 9:51want to give you that space. They don't want to give you that
- 9:53healing. They don't want to give you that
- 9:54growth because they know if you have space for healing and
- 9:56growth that you're going to leave them alone.
- 9:59Space for healing and growth means you typically you're going
- 10:02to leave them alone. You healing, you.
- 10:04You healing and you growing does it.
- 10:06How does it you healing and growing benefit a narcissistic
- 10:09person. Think about the way that y'all,
- 10:10how does you heal? If they if they still want to be
- 10:12with you, how does you healing and growing benefit them?
- 10:16When you're dealing with a narcissistic person?
- 10:18Y'all that's one of the main question.
- 10:19You have to ask yourself how does this benefit them?
- 10:21How you know? It sounds silly, but how is this
- 10:24a benefit to them? It doesn't.
- 10:26Some of them will become ragy obsessive and they think because
- 10:29they think they own you. They mourn it by own.
- 10:31They mourn the relationship by not trying not to let it end by
- 10:35trying not try not to give you space.
- 10:37And some of them again, y'all will mourn it by trying to end
- 10:40you. Y'all, y'all know what I mean by
- 10:43end you. They will send you.
- 10:45They will try to send you to meet your maker.
- 10:48They absolutely will. They were.
- 10:51They absolutely will try to send you to meet your maker.
- 10:54I'm not laughing at y'all. Y'all got a text message from
- 10:56Ben. Tell the wrong motivations.
- 11:00They were. They were absolutely trying to
- 11:02send you to meet your maker. Because they're they don't want
- 11:04to more. They're embarrassed.
- 11:05They're ashamed. So they're ashamed.
- 11:07And embarrassment will cause them to lose their damn minds.
- 11:10And some of some of them will try to harm you.
- 11:11Some of them will try to harm you.
- 11:14Some of them will try to proceed you to meet God.
- 11:15There's a lot of different moving pieces here, but you have
- 11:18to protect your peace. You have to protect yourself.
- 11:20You have to take care of yourself.
