- 1:06But yes, yeah, hopping back into today's topic and whatnot, the
- 1:10top five and these y'all, these are my insecurities.
- 1:13These are my the mindset of I'm a diagnosed narcissist and these
- 1:16are the insecurities that I thought about that I came up
- 1:19with and whatnot about how narcissistic people operate, how
- 1:22we like the the insecurities because narcissism is a shame
- 1:26based disorder. And but it's a shame comes for
- 1:28that their insecurities, our insecurities.
- 1:31So I'm going to go over the top five right here for you right
- 1:35now. And this is in no particular
- 1:39order. Y'all and I look, if you have
- 1:41any of these insecurities, it does not mean that you, you,
- 1:45you, you are a narcissist. I know people are just only I
- 1:47have the insecurity. Am I?
- 1:48No, no, no, no, I'm talking to the mic.
- 1:52No, does not mean that you're a narcissist because you have any
- 1:56or maybe all of these insecurities.
- 1:58Maybe a part of the insecurities are you?
- 2:01It would not, but yes, y'all OK #1 again, in no order their
- 2:06looks, their looks narcissistic people.
- 2:10Not, not, not every single narcissist is is consume what
- 2:14how we look like. That's not we're not consumed
- 2:18with that. And that's part of my part of me
- 2:21trying to get over the insecurities of how I look or
- 2:23how I think I look. It's somehow sometimes letting
- 2:26myself get disheveled, having having a disheveled appearance,
- 2:29like my hair right now is not good.
- 2:32But in the next couple of videos, you're going to see my
- 2:34hair get done. It's going to be fresh and I'm
- 2:36I'm going to be up here dancing like this.
- 2:37You'll see me dancing. I'm going to be swag surfing my
- 2:40next video because my hair going to be dead.
- 2:41But a lot of narcissists are insecure about how they're look,
- 2:44how they look, how we look, you know, body dysmorphia.
- 2:48We, we, we will never see ourselves the way other people
- 2:52see us. And that's extremely, that's an
- 2:54extremely frustrating thing. Even the good stuff.
- 2:57Did you see in us how we look, how he might, how we might act
- 3:00and behave, whatever. We don't see it that way.
- 3:03There's for me, there's always something to work on.
- 3:05Like right now, I've been on a fitness journey for a while now,
- 3:09right? And I've been working them out a
- 3:10lot. Like my arm.
- 3:11I'm like, OK, I'm getting a little fit, little curls, but
- 3:14then I start focusing on my stomach and that'll destroy my
- 3:18whole day, right? Maybe I want to eat, maybe not
- 3:21want to do anything else. Going down, focus on my stomach,
- 3:23how I look, how I present myself and things of that nature.
- 3:25Like our head hurts, stuff like that.
- 3:28It really can destroy you, y'all.
- 3:29This type of stuff really can get into your mind really can do
- 3:32a number on your your mind and whatnot.
- 3:35So a lot of narcissists are super insecure about how they
- 3:37look. That's why they focus on their
- 3:38looks. That's why narcissistic women
- 3:40takes them forever to get ready and they still don't think
- 3:42they're they they they don't think that they're ready.
- 3:44That's why a lot of narcissists get supply from their
- 3:49appearance. How I look.
- 3:51I need people to, you see, you see what I'm saying, how I look,
- 3:54how I present myself. I need people to see me a
- 3:56certain type of way. I need people, I need to be
- 3:58presented in a certain type of way and whatnot, right?
- 4:00So I need that. I need people to look at me and
- 4:03I need to stand out and I don't need to, you know, I need to get
- 4:06some supply for my looks and whatnot.
- 4:08That's how narcissistic people think.
- 4:09They're super insecure about how they look.
- 4:11And if people don't compliment them or if somebody gives them
- 4:13too many compliments, they don't even believe the compliments
- 4:15they get. Like somebody giving them a
- 4:17compliment like, oh, you look, I love your hair.
- 4:19Like, oh, really? Thanks.
- 4:22They're just saying it to be nice.
- 4:22My hair is horrible, my face is horrible, my teeth are horrible.
- 4:26My stomach is horrible, my arms are horrible, my shoulders are
- 4:28horrible. My, you know, my eyes are
- 4:30horrible. Whatever it is, they're super
- 4:31insecure about that look. Job.
- 4:34The second one I got on here. Finances.
- 4:38Narcissistic people are super insecure about our finances,
- 4:42about money, The pursuit of money out, the pursuit of money,
- 4:46ambition, fulfillment they like. That's why a lot of times you
- 4:50see a lot of narcissists that just try to get a lot of money
- 4:53because we think money is attached to happiness and we
- 4:56know that money can give you access to things that can make
- 4:59you happy, but it doesn't. It doesn't necessarily make you
- 5:01happy on its own. Like having a bunch of money.
- 5:04If I had a bunch of money in this room right now laying in
- 5:06it, what the hell can I do with it?
- 5:07You know what I'm saying? If I'm not spending it or giving
- 5:09it away, what the hell I'm doing?
- 5:11I'm just sitting here hoarding it like I'm a hoarder, but I'm
- 5:13hoarding money. A lot of narcissists don't think
- 5:15they make enough money. A lot of narcissists fret and
- 5:18over are insecure about their money and whatnot.
- 5:20That's why when you see a a narcissist that goes from broke
- 5:24to rich in a very short period of time, like a narcissistic
- 5:27athlete that doesn't have anything that you don't, you
- 5:30don't hear anything about. But soon as they get their first
- 5:31big contract, they lose their damn minds.
- 5:33Like Antonio Brown has lost his damn mind you what I'm saying.
- 5:37He probably already has subtle signs of narcissism, but when he
- 5:41got that money, it made him more of who he was.
- 5:43Money don't make you bad. Money doesn't make you bad.
- 5:45It doesn't make you good. Money just makes you more of who
- 5:47you are. So money a lot of times
- 5:49amplifies the narcissism. So you get a lot of narcissists
- 5:52who get super insecure about their finances.
- 5:54Like I don't make enough money. And when they get insecure about
- 5:56their finances, they take it out on their friends, they take it
- 5:59out on their family members, they take it out on everybody
- 6:01around them, around us. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:03Everybody gets the worst version of a narcissist when they're not
- 6:06happy with the amount of money that they have.
- 6:07Even if they are rich, you can get a rich famous narcissist
- 6:12that is still insecure about their money because there's
- 6:15always somebody with more money. Unless you're like, who this is
- 6:18the richest person in the world now, unless you are Eli Musk,
- 6:22there's still a lot of you know what I'm saying?
- 6:24And he got some, he got his own insecurity.
- 6:26Even though he's the richest man in the world, he's still super
- 6:28insecure about a lot of stuff he has going on.
- 6:30Everybody has insecurity job. But like you see the type of
- 6:32stuff like there are a lot of narcissists that are insecure
- 6:34about their finances, about their money.
- 6:36Even if they have a lot of money, they don't think they
- 6:38have enough. They think they're always
- 6:40comparing and contrasting themselves and their finances
- 6:42and somebody else. The next one I have on here is
- 6:45their reputation. Narcissistic people are super
- 6:50insecure about their reputation. Like do I heard a saying one
- 6:55time before y'all I said your reputation.
- 6:59Your reputation precedes you, make sure it's worth following.
- 7:03That's why you see a lot of narcissistic people that are
- 7:06just super obsessed with trying to have a good reputation, even
- 7:10if they are horrible people behind the scenes, even if
- 7:13they're being God awful to every single person that they've ever
- 7:16encountered. This is how they're going to set
- 7:19it up as right here. This is the type of stuff that
- 7:21they will absolutely do. This is like like they will
- 7:24still show you exactly how horrible a person that they are
- 7:29in this situation, in these, in these, in these spaces and
- 7:31whatnot. They will still show you the,
- 7:35you know what I mean, their reputation.
- 7:37Like that's why they, they are so super insecure about and
- 7:40super afraid to get exposed. That's why they don't want you
- 7:43talking about what you, what's going on behind closed doors.
- 7:45That's what they want the kids to shut the hell up and don't
- 7:48tell anybody about what their parent is doing to them.
- 7:50But what's going on behind closed doors and who their
- 7:52parent, the narcissistic parent really is.
- 7:55That's why they don't want anybody to know.
- 7:56They want everybody to shut the hell up and keep their mouth
- 7:58shut and they keep things in the house.
- 8:00Let's handle this as a family. That's don't, don't talk to
- 8:02anybody else about this. They don't want anybody else
- 8:04knowing about how truly abusive and repugnant they are behind
- 8:09the scenes. So that's one of the big that's
- 8:11one of the major keys that happens to so many people when
- 8:13you're dealing with an abusive narcissistic person.
- 8:15You know, it just it, this is one of the things that a lot of
- 8:17people are going to experience when you're dealing with an
- 8:20abuser. It really, really is.
- 8:21They're so super insecure about their reputation being exposed
- 8:25that they will lose their damn minds.
- 8:26They will lose their ever loving, lasting minds.
- 8:28And we will take it out on everybody else.
- 8:30You know, they absolutely will. So the next one I have on here
- 8:35y'all the the 4th 1:00 is their upbringing.
- 8:39I know this one is going to sound weird but a lot of
- 8:42narcissists are super insecure about their upbringing.
- 8:48They don't want anybody to know the true story about how they
- 8:52were raised about their parents, their parents, their lack of
- 8:55resources when they were growing up.
- 8:57You know, their their buck teeth or their bow legs or their
- 9:00chubby face or their chubby stomach or their thick, you
- 9:03know, that thick ass, that big ass bulbous head that they had.
- 9:07They don't want anybody to know who they really are behind the
- 9:11scenes. I mean like who they are
- 9:12whenever growing up, they try, that's why you get a lot of
- 9:14narcissist. They try to move far away from
- 9:17home because they don't want any of they can recreate their
- 9:19upbringing story. They can recreate It's got like
- 9:21they recreate their origin story, right?
- 9:24They try to recreate their origin story about who they
- 9:27actually are and what they actually have going on, right?
- 9:29That's the type of stuff that starts happening.
- 9:31You get a lot of narcissist that are insecure about how they were
- 9:34raised and that insecurity right there about how they were raised
- 9:37can make them jealous of how you were raised.
- 9:40They can make them jealous of how you have the things that you
- 9:42have going on, the things that you've experienced.
- 9:44That type of stuff right there can absolutely happen.
- 9:47Like narcissistic people can become jealous of how you were
- 9:50raised because they didn't have the same opportunities or
- 9:52whatnot, Their upbringings were different and whatnot.
- 9:56That's absolutely can happen. Like there are a lot of
- 9:58narcissists, they hate their parents because they just get
- 10:01super insecure about the upbringing.
- 10:03So they hate their parents. They try to disavow something.
- 10:05Sometimes narcissists grow up and yeah, if they might have
- 10:08grew up in an abusive household themselves and they hate their
- 10:10parents and they just got no contact with their parents.
- 10:12They never, they grow up, move out and never talk to their
- 10:13parents again. I've heard those stories before
- 10:16that happens. Like they hate their parents.
- 10:18Like a lot of narcissists are insecure about their upbringing
- 10:20because they could have had they themselves could not only could
- 10:23have had a financially, financially neglectful
- 10:26upbringing, they could also have a just a upbringing, an abusive
- 10:32upbringing as well. Their parents could have been
- 10:33extremely abusive towards them and treated them horribly and
- 10:36starve them or whatever it is. Beat the asses, whatever it may
- 10:38be. They can be extremely, extremely
- 10:41disconnected from how they were raised and what now.
- 10:43They can be. There's a lot of truth to that
- 10:45right there. Y'all Like they can be super
- 10:47insecure about their upbringing. That's why they don't want to
- 10:49talk to you about their childhood.
- 10:50Tell me about your childhood. No, that's why they don't, they
- 10:53don't want to go to therapy because they're insecure about
- 10:55revealing what has actually happened in their childhood, how
- 10:57they were actually raised and what it actually they went
- 10:59through and whatnot. So that's something to consider
- 11:01as well, y'all. And the last one there are more.
- 11:04Y'all, if you think it's more insecurities than your
- 11:06narcissistic partner has or food insecurity, whatever it is, drop
- 11:10it in the comment section and whatnot, y'all.
- 11:13All insecurities are welcome here.
- 11:15The last one I have right here is their identity.
- 11:20They're super insecure. I am super insecure about who I
- 11:24really am, about my lack of a true authentic identity, which
- 11:29is why you see a lot of narcissists that take on the
- 11:32personality characteristics and traits of other people around
- 11:35them because they're extremely insecure about their identity.
- 11:37Like a lot of them hate who they are.
- 11:40I hated who I was for a long time.
- 11:42I still, I still struggle with it now, right?
- 11:45That's one of my biggest struggles right now is my
- 11:47identity, right? It really, really is.
- 11:50One of my biggest struggles right now is absolutely my
- 11:53identity. It just is.
- 11:54It's one of those things that messes with me.
- 11:57Like who The Who the hell am I really like?
- 11:59Am I this person? Am I that person?
- 12:01Why get why? Why do I think this way?
- 12:03My upbringing that that kind of ties into the last one, the
- 12:05previous one, right? It kind of ties into the
- 12:09previous one as well about narcissists and their
- 12:11insecurities and whatnot. This happens, y'all.
- 12:14This is part, this is part. Like they can be super insecure
- 12:16about their identity, which is why tell me, tell me what you
- 12:19like, tell what you dislike. You ask them that question.
- 12:21They don't they they try to reflect back to you, Tell me
- 12:24what you like and dislike. You know what I'm saying?
- 12:26They try to mirror your likes and dislike.
- 12:28This is why narcissists mirror you because they're insecure
- 12:30about who they actually are. They're they hate who they
- 12:32actually are. They're afraid of being who they
- 12:34actually are. So they mirror you.
- 12:36They model your behaviors as opposed to just mirroring it.
- 12:39They just take, they take the personality characteristics from
- 12:41you and try to make themselves the best version of themselves.
- 12:44This happens quite a bit, y'all. It really does happen quite a
- 12:46bit. So I would say this as well.
- 12:50Oh my goodness, I would say this as well.
- 12:51Yeah, I do have to get ready to hop off this thing.
- 12:57I appreciate everybody for tuning in.
