Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, Beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we're talking about our narcissist, the same in every
- 0:06single relationship. Or they all Are they different?
- 0:09If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:11I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist.
- 0:12And welcome to another episode of the narcissist Code.
- 0:32So welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, folks.
- 0:35Yes, yes, yes. Are narcissists the same in
- 0:38every single relationship or do they change for the new person?
- 0:42Are they really? Are they really different for
- 0:45the new supply? Or is the narcissist that
- 0:47treated me so badly? Are they really debt different
- 0:50for the new person? So to answer your question
- 0:53y'all, the easiest answer is they're like no narcissistic
- 0:56person is going to be the exact same in every single
- 1:00relationship because everybody doesn't like the same, the same,
- 1:05the same things, the same tactics and things that you like
- 1:10the next person might not like. Narcissistic people tend to be
- 1:15very like chameleon, like like malleable.
- 1:18They can change their personalities to fit who they
- 1:21are with. They can change their
- 1:23personality characteristics or their mindsets to fit whoever
- 1:26they are with, you know? So if I'm with you and you like
- 1:30a certain type of thing, the next person might not enjoy the
- 1:34same type of behaviors. The next person might not enjoy
- 1:37the same type of treatment or the same type of events.
- 1:41And I can't, like I can't love bomb the next person the same
- 1:46way that I love bomb you. I can't get the like the same
- 1:50stuff might not work. So no two narcissists are going
- 1:54to be no, no, no narcissist is going to be the exact same in
- 1:57their next relationship. And I know what people are going
- 1:59to say already. I'm I'm I'm 2 steps ahead of you
- 2:02right now. Just because you change in your
- 2:05next relationship does not make you a narcissist.
- 2:08Y'all Let me go ahead and say that because I know people would
- 2:10just hear that. Just like, well, Lee, I changed
- 2:12in my next relationship. Am IA narcissist?
- 2:15Are you manipulating people? Are you being bad to people?
- 2:18Are you? Do you are you storing up your
- 2:20childhood trauma and taking it out?
- 2:21Taking it out on your partner? You might be narcissistic if you
- 2:23are doing that type of stuff. Y'all.
- 2:25Do you have a lack of empathy? Like, go through the I have a
- 2:27video about the 9 traits of Narcissistic Personality
- 2:30Disorder. So if you wonder if you're a
- 2:32narcissist, go check the video out and see if any of it.
- 2:34See if five of the 9 traits vibe with you.
- 2:37At least five of the nine, you know, But that's the space that
- 2:41a lot of people fall into. Like you watch the next, You
- 2:45watch the narcissist in the next relationship, right?
- 2:47You're watching them treat somebody else better.
- 2:49You're watching them start going to the gym when they told you
- 2:53they hated the gym. You're watching them taking yoga
- 2:55classes. You're watching them learning to
- 2:57cook. You're watching them go to you
- 3:00watching them travel and do other things.
- 3:03Yeah, they will fit them. They will shape themselves into
- 3:06whoever they feel like they need to be to get the next person to
- 3:10fall for them. Like a lot of like, narcissists,
- 3:13mirror people, they might have mirrored you.
- 3:16They might have started behaving like you.
- 3:17They might have started acting like you when y'all were
- 3:19together. Like the interest that you had
- 3:24when you first met the first met, the narcissist or toxic
- 3:28person or whatever. They might not really have
- 3:31liked. They might not really have
- 3:33enjoyed those same things that you liked and enjoyed.
- 3:36They might have just been telling you that to get you to
- 3:38fall for them because as the relationship progressed, you
- 3:41might have realized like, that we really don't have anything in
- 3:44common. We really don't like the same
- 3:46thing. We really don't act alike.
- 3:48We really don't behave the same, you know?
- 3:51So that falls into that category that No2 narcissists are going
- 3:55to be the same in in their next relationship.
- 3:58Why wouldn't they? Y'all because you're not like
- 3:59the same stuff that works on you might not work with somebody
- 4:02else. Let's keep it real.
- 4:04That's the way it goes sometimes.
- 4:05Y'all like be be being realistic.
- 4:06That's just the way it goes sometimes.
- 4:08The same thing that worked for me, the same thing that worked
- 4:13on you might not work on the next person.
- 4:16And it doesn't mean that something is wrong with you.
- 4:18That just means that y'all have different interests.
- 4:21Like the narcissist, a lot of narcissists, y'all we struggle
- 4:25with our identities, right? Like we really don't know who we
- 4:29are sometimes. So we become you sometimes.
- 4:33Some of us, some of us become like different versions of you.
- 4:37You ever hear people? Oh, you, you, you're the male
- 4:39version of me. You're the female version of me.
- 4:41You're the boy version of me. You're the girl like you hear
- 4:43you hear people say that before. That's sometimes that's the
- 4:46result of somebody being mirrored.
- 4:48You act just like me. People say we act just alike,
- 4:51you know, in that space right there.
- 4:53So, no, narcissists are not going to be the same in every
- 4:55relationship, but it doesn't mean that they got better.
- 4:59Let me say that with emphasis. It does not mean just because
- 5:03they act differently in a new relationship does not mean that
- 5:06they've had gotten better. They might have gotten better at
- 5:09being manipulative, and they might have got better at hiding
- 5:12the things that they actually want to do.
- 5:14They might become better liars, But it doesn't mean that they're
- 5:18going to be a better person. You know, they just did not.
- 5:22Just because they act different and behave differently in a new
- 5:26relationship does not mean that they're going to be a better
- 5:29person. I think a lot of people just
- 5:32won't. They won't.
- 5:33I'm not saying you contend with me and argue with me about that,
- 5:36but a lot of people put up a fight with me about it.
- 5:38When I say that right there, just because they're behaving
- 5:40differently in a new relationship does not mean that
- 5:44they are better people, does not mean that they put the work in
- 5:47to become a better human being. It does not mean that.
- 5:50It just mean they had to change it, like, you know, it just mean
- 5:52they had to change their colours.
- 5:54If narcissists are chameleons like you might be a green leaf
- 5:58and the other person might be a red leaf.
- 6:00So if I'm a chameleon and I'm laying on you, I'm going to be
- 6:03green. If I'm a chameleon and I'm
- 6:05laying on that person, I'm with that person.
- 6:07I'm going to be red. I'm still a chameleon.
- 6:10I'm just red. Now, defense mechanism.
- 6:13They change colors for defense. You know, I might be this person
- 6:17might be purple, that person might be blue, that person might
- 6:19be yellow. That person might be orange.
- 6:21They they change to fit who they need.
- 6:23They change to fit who they are with like the stuff.
- 6:27And like this is this is what happens a lot of times too.
- 6:29Y'all. They take the stuff that you
- 6:31wanted from them. They take the stuff that you
- 6:33might the stuff that you might have been begging them to do.
- 6:35You might have been begging them to take you on trips.
- 6:37You might have been begging them to join a yoga class, You might
- 6:40have been begging them to get a new car.
- 6:41You might have been begging them to have kids or getting married
- 6:43or whatever. You might have been begging.
- 6:45But then they take everything that you begged for and give it
- 6:49to the next person because it works.
- 6:52That's the being real estate because it works, right?
- 6:55That's why. Because it works like it.
- 7:00It like they know that you wanted it.
- 7:02So they tested out on a new person.
- 7:05Like, oh, my ex used to love this stuff and I never did it
- 7:08for them. So let me do it for you to see
- 7:10if you to see if you like this and this is what they'll tell,
- 7:13this is what they'll tell other people.
- 7:15Oh, and if you ask them, let's just say you, you're watching
- 7:19that your narcissistic ex give the next person everything that
- 7:21you begged for, and you ask them, was that not worth it?
- 7:25Why did you do that for me? They're like, y'all you give
- 7:27them the opportunity to hurt your fellows again.
- 7:31You give them the opportunity to put you down, they're going to
- 7:33be like, no, no, you wouldn't worth it.
- 7:34This is the love of my life. I'm doing this for this person
- 7:37because I love them so much. I love this person so much
- 7:41because they've been here for me, because they love me.
- 7:43They care about me and they deserve it.
- 7:44You didn't deserve it. You're worthless, you know.
- 7:47Know your worth. Stay in your blame, stay in your
- 7:49place. They will treat you badly.
- 7:51Y'all you give them the opportunity to hurt your the
- 7:54opportunity to hurt your folks and they will absolutely seize
- 7:57that opportunity a lot of times. So this is me telling you to
- 8:00protect your piece, to protect yourself, because if you don't,
- 8:03y'all you're just opening yourself up with more hurt, you
- 8:06know? So yeah, they might be, they
- 8:08might look different, they might act differently, they might
- 8:10dress differently, they might have a new haircut, they might
- 8:12get their teeth fixed. You mean my exes are brushing
- 8:15their teeth and showering every night?
- 8:16Well, they never shower me every night.
- 8:18They just came to bed. They they whole ass stinking,
- 8:22yo. We were married for 10 years and
- 8:26never showered before bed. They just came into bed stinking
- 8:29and they still wanted to clap cheeks.
- 8:30No, they. But I hear it over there.
- 8:35They shower every single day. Twice a day sometimes.
- 8:38Come on. Y'all.
- 8:39Come on. And another reason I'm going to
- 8:41say this as well, Another reason, and this can help you
- 8:44for future relationships, is right here.
- 8:45Y'all another reason that they might behave differently in new
- 8:48in other relationships with new people because other people have
- 8:52different boundaries. And if other people's boundaries
- 8:55might not be waivable, other people's boundaries might be
- 8:58solid boundaries. But narcissistic people can
- 9:01sometimes get around those boundaries, or they'll pretend
- 9:05to be OK with those boundaries at first, just to get integrated
- 9:08into that person's life. And once they're integrated,
- 9:11they start hacking away or chiseling away or chipping away
- 9:14at those boundaries. That happens quite a bit, too.
- 9:18So this is the space that a lot of people fall into When you're
- 9:20dealing with narcissists and talk to people is the fact that,
- 9:23like, they will pretend to be OK with boundaries.
- 9:26They will respect your peace. They will respect your space at
- 9:30first, but then they switch it up later on.
- 9:33They really do. And that's and that's a bit,
- 9:35that's bits and pieces of how this goes.
- 9:38There's bits and pieces of how this relationship dynamic plays
- 9:40out a lot of times, you know, So just again, y'all, just because
- 9:45they started acting differently in their new relationship does
- 9:48not mean that they get better. Yeah, they're not going to
- 9:51behave the same in new relationships sometimes.
- 9:53Look, you know, sometimes the stuff that worked on you might
- 9:56work on a new person as well. So they they might actually look
- 9:59the same in a new relationship. But also think about this as
- 10:03well. If you are still watching their
- 10:04new relationship, what you're probably witnessing is the love
- 10:09bombing phase. You're probably witnessing them
- 10:12love bombing the new supply. You're probably witnessing them
- 10:15giving a new person or a new supply.
- 10:17Everything you you probably watch in the beginning, the
- 10:19idealization phase, of course, things going to be going to be
- 10:22good during the idealization phase.
- 10:24That's the phase where they get you trapped in.
- 10:25That's the phase, That's the hook.
- 10:26That's the hook phase right there.
- 10:28The hooking phase. Y'all the hooking phase.

- 10:54that too. Y'all but yeah, narcissist might
- 10:55change for the new person, but it's not.
