- 0:17That's what we're talking about today y'all.
- 0:20Why narcissist rage? Why do you use why they try to
- 0:22use anger to solve everything? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:26Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist, here
- 0:28to give you the perspective of a narcissist and welcome to
- 0:31another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:51Welcome back folks. Yes, narcissistic rage.
- 0:54We all we yo. If you haven't heard about
- 0:57narcissistic rage, if you haven't experienced narcissistic
- 1:00rage, good for you. Good, good for you.
- 1:05You're, you're blessed, you like.
- 1:07If you haven't been a victim of narcissistic rage, you are part
- 1:10of the, the, the few, the few, the proud, the impacts.
- 1:16You know, this is what happens because so many people get
- 1:20caught up with narcissists and abusive people and manipulative
- 1:24people that it really is. It gets very difficult when
- 1:27you're trying to, you know, battle this type of stuff right
- 1:31and whatnot. Narcissistic people rage is yo,
- 1:36let's keep let's keep it hot. I'm gonna keep it.
- 1:38I'm gonna keep this episode as hot and as ready as I possibly
- 1:40can. Y'all see the self love brand?
- 1:42It's still available. I got some new stuff coming out.
- 1:44This is the I love me brand. I'm resilient mental illness.net
- 1:49for everything. But y'all rage solves
- 1:53everything. I'm just going to keep it real
- 1:55with you. Narcissistic rage solves
- 1:58everything for a narcissist. Like most narcissist and toxic
- 2:03people are emotionally dysregulated people.
- 2:06We just are y'all. We're emotionally dysregulated.
- 2:09We cannot regulate our own emotions so we tend we don't
- 2:13know how. We don't know how to use our
- 2:15emotions effectively. Right.
- 2:17I was I I still am, but I was more emotionally dysregulated
- 2:24before I got into therapy. Therapy has helped me regulate
- 2:27my emotions better, but I'm still emotionally dysregulated.
- 2:31So enrage used to be how I got my point across, how I got my
- 2:36message across, how I, you know, conveyed a point to somebody,
- 2:39how I proved the point to somebody, how I proved I was
- 2:42right, how I showed my power, right.
- 2:45Beating on your chest like a, a, a petulant child is how you
- 2:50showed your power, isn't it? But it, that's what I used to
- 2:52do. And I'm gonna keep it real with
- 2:53y'all. And this is how a lot of
- 2:55narcissists operate. A lot, a lot of us operate by
- 2:58showing our power by beating on our chest and being being
- 3:01unreasonable and whatnot, because rage solves everything,
- 3:04y'all. Rage is easy.
- 3:05Anger is easy. Y'all hear anger, anger referred
- 3:09to as a secondary emotion, right?
- 3:11Because it is. Anger is a secondary emotion you
- 3:14don't really need. I said anger is almost always
- 3:17covering something else up, right?
- 3:20It's almost always a cover up for something else.
- 3:23So in that instance, narcissistic people who could be
- 3:26happy and not know how to express their happiness and be
- 3:29angry instead. I know you like damn, just be
- 3:33happy. Why can't you just be like that?
- 3:35You you get you happy, but you're angry.
- 3:37Damn. But how does that, Lee, how the
- 3:39hell does that make sense? You happy, but you're angry.
- 3:41Yeah, I don't make the rules. I don't even enforce them.
- 3:46I just talk about it, Right. And this is how it goes.
- 3:51This is the mentality. Y'all narcissistic rage.
- 3:54It does work. It really does.
- 3:57It works to a yeah, it works to AT it's it's it's it's powerful.
- 4:02So if you, when you're dealing with a manipulator, when you're
- 4:04dealing with an abuser, just understand that the rage is
- 4:06typically a cover up for something else.
- 4:08They might not even be mad when they're using narcissistic rage.
- 4:13They might not even be angry at you.
- 4:15And I know that sounds dumb as hell, because it is.
- 4:18It can be, right? But they got narcissistic rage
- 4:21because they might be like, because they don't know how to
- 4:23express the other emotions in rage gets the point across.
- 4:27If I get angry enough, if I'm angry enough that I can handle,
- 4:31I can. I can get anything I want
- 4:34because if I, if I instill, if I use narcissistic rage, if I get
- 4:37angry enough, I can instill this fear into you where I don't
- 4:41like. If you know that I don't like
- 4:45being held accountable and you've experienced narcissistic
- 4:48rage while while I've been throwing stuff on and screamed
- 4:51at you, I don't threaten to harm myself.
- 4:53I don't threaten to harm you, whatever it is, right?
- 4:55You are afraid now. So when it comes time to hold me
- 4:58accountable, that's what you're not going to do.
- 5:00You're not going to do it. You see, when it comes time to
- 5:04hold me accountable, you're not going to do it because you don't
- 5:07want to argue, you don't want to fuss, you don't want me to rage
- 5:10out on you. You want me to lose my damn
- 5:12mind. And they'll let you know.
- 5:14It's kind of like a, kind of like a rattlesnake.
- 5:15When they start rattling, they little narcissistic tail,
- 5:18they'll start rattling. Don't.
- 5:22Maybe I'm about to get mad as hell because about the strike.
- 5:28They would rather strike at you than have a conversation to be
- 5:32held accountable for something that they have actually done
- 5:35wrong, Right. Sometimes it's can you get mad?
- 5:39Can you get righteously mad when somebody accuses you of
- 5:42something that you didn't do? Yeah, but narcissists get mad
- 5:45when you accuse them of what you what they have done.
- 5:48Like, rage solves the problem. Rage solves the issue.
- 5:51Rage is power. Rage is control over you.
- 5:55Rage is lack of control for a narcissist.
- 5:57But rage is control over you, right?
- 6:00It just is. Rage is control over you in
- 6:03these circumstances, in any situations.
- 6:04So you have to think about that. What?
- 6:05Like, why? Why the hell do they keep raging
- 6:07out on me? I'm just trying to heal.
- 6:08I'm trying to feel better. Why?
- 6:10I got to get the right, why I get the nasty, stinking ass
- 6:12version of them. I just want a good version of my
- 6:15party. Yeah I I bet you do right?
- 6:17I bet you do want a good version of your partner.
- 6:20I think most people would want a good version of their partner
- 6:23when it comes down to it. But narcissistic people would
- 6:25rather use rage to try to instill fear into you then try
- 6:28to have a decent conversation with you.
- 6:30Which is dumb as hell. That's all.
- 6:32Agree that shit is stupid. Right?
- 6:35Because they can't have a conversation with you they don't
- 6:37want to have. They don't want to meet you
- 6:39halfway, they don't want to meet you in the middle.
- 6:41They would rather just try to instill fear into you.
- 6:44And let's be real, let's let's be real, but also let's be fair,
- 6:47right? There are some narcissists who
- 6:50don't have, who are just out of control, right?
- 6:53There are some nurses who are absolutely, unequivocally,
- 6:57unequivocably out of control. They, some of them cannot
- 7:00control their emotions, which can be just as bad.
- 7:04Y'all, let's be real, which can be just as bad.
- 7:07If they're out of, if they can't control their emotions, it's
- 7:11just as bad. Yeah, be let's be real, if they
- 7:16can. Cause like, imagine a
- 7:17narcissistic person is screaming at you, right?
- 7:22Imagine a narcissistic person is screaming at you.
- 7:24They're yelling at you. They're losing their mind.
- 7:27They're throwing, they're throwing this stuff against the
- 7:29wall. They're threatening to harm you,
- 7:31threatening to harm themselves. They're doing all of that type
- 7:34of stuff, right? Let's say they doing all of that
- 7:37stuff, right? And then once you once
- 7:40everything calms down, you go, you go to them and you say, I
- 7:43can't believe you did that last night.
- 7:45And they'll be like, did what you like.
- 7:49You did what? You don't remember yelling and
- 7:51screaming at me? You like.
- 7:52And they're like, no, I ain't yelling and screaming.
- 7:53I don't. I don't remember that.
- 7:55Yeah. Could it be true that some
- 7:59narcissists don't remember yelling and screaming at you?
- 8:01Yeah, it could be true, right? But that doesn't make it better.
- 8:04There are some narcissists that are out of control that
- 8:06absolutely don't remember yelling and screaming at you,
- 8:08right? There are some, but think about
- 8:10it from this perspective right here.
- 8:12Y'all does it make it better? If you don't remember it, that
- 8:15means you're out of control. So when they try to use the
- 8:18excuse that they're out of that, they don't remember it.
- 8:20That could be true, but think about it from this place.
- 8:23If you don't remember threatening to harm me or take
- 8:26my life or take your own life or hurt, hurt yourself or hurt
- 8:29others. If you don't remember that, then
- 8:32how the hell is that cool? If you're out of control, that
- 8:35means you're more dangerous. If you're out of control, if you
- 8:40have no control of your anger or your emotions, that means you're
- 8:43more dangerous than you think, than you are.
- 8:47So don't let them use that excuse on you right there,
- 8:48y'all? I had no idea that this is going
- 8:50on. I didn't know I was going to
- 8:51hurt you. I didn't know this.
- 8:52I didn't know that. OK, then I need to leave you
- 8:55because you don't you you're out of control.
- 8:57No, you don't need to leave me. I can control it now.
- 8:59What? What?
- 9:00Not you. You get.
- 9:01You get mad at me because I want to stay safe.
- 9:04You see how crazy that sounds y'all?
- 9:07So that's why I always tell people when you're dealing with
- 9:09a narcissist or taxperson, you always have to protect yourself
- 9:12because sometimes the rage is out uncontrollable.
- 9:16And if they if auto control like they say they might have a
- 9:18bipolar or something like that, right?
- 9:20So if they have bipolar and they have these, they get these manic
- 9:23episodes and they start losing their minds like on a consistent
- 9:27basis. That's can be scary as hell to
- 9:29you. They're not scary to y'all.
- 9:31That seem like they would be scared of me.
- 9:34You know what I mean? They would absolutely be scared
- 9:35of me. So in these in these court, in
- 9:38these situations, in these circumstances, you have to ask
- 9:40yourself, is it safe for you to be around this person, right?
- 9:45Like, you know what I'm saying? It's just is it safe to be
- 9:48around this person? Can you, can you survive around
- 9:51this person? If they can't control their
- 9:53anger, if they're always angry at you for something small, if
- 9:56they can't control their anger, if they always pissed off at
- 9:58you, You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
- 10:02Think about that right there. That's something you have to
- 10:05consider. That's something you absolutely
- 10:08have to consider when you're dealing with a manipulative,
- 10:11abusive person. It's absolutely part of the you.
- 10:16You have to bring this up in your conversations when you're
- 10:19when you considering trying to leave or wanted to stay or
- 10:22wanting to go. This is stuff you have to
- 10:24consider right here, because if they are not in control of their
- 10:26anger or their rage, but they tell they, they want you to
- 10:29stay, what guarantees do you have that you're going to be
- 10:32safe? I mean, there's no guarantees
- 10:33you're going to be safe for you if you leave, right?
- 10:36But you damn sure there's a 100% guarantee that you're going to
- 10:40be that you're not safe if you stay.
- 10:42So that's something you have to take into consideration as well.
- 10:44Y'all, this is part of the process.
- 10:46This is part of the healing. This is part of the growth.
- 10:48So I, I hope this brings, bring y'all some clarity about
- 10:51narcissistic rage and how sometimes it's just, yeah, they,
- 10:55they, they don't know, they, they don't know how to express
- 10:57other emotions. So they just use rage.
- 10:59They, they just use anger or they, they get, they just fly
- 11:02off the handle and little things like they can't take the, they
- 11:05can't take a joke, they can't take this, they can't take that.
- 11:09It can be so such a vicious dynamic, right?
- 11:13Such a vicious process to be a part of, especially if you're
- 11:15trying to deal with this person, you're trying to make sense of
- 11:17it all, y'all. Anyway, y'all think I'm tuning
