Transcript
- 0:00A lot of narcissists and toxic people punish you for loving
- 0:04them if you knew here. My name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:06I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:08another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:10I use my platform on social media to raise awareness for
- 0:12NPD, get more people into therapy, and also help validate
- 0:15the victim, survivors, and drivers of said disorder.
- 0:18Said toxic people, said toxic stress and it's helped me become
- 0:20your favorite selfaware. Narciss.
- 0:24Well yeah, y'all. That's why I tell people all the
- 0:26time. Why does it hurt the love of
- 0:28narcissists? Why do they treat me so badly?
- 0:30Why they Why can't they just be better?
- 0:32Why they don't? Why don't they just change who
- 0:34they are? Why don't they just be nice?
- 0:36Y'all in the mind of a narcissistic person.
- 0:40They don't think and I they I can include myself in this one.
- 0:44We don't think that we are deserving of love for anybody
- 0:50from anybody. Because in a lot of in a lot of
- 0:54cases growing up, our love wasn't validated.
- 0:58Our existences were not validated by the people that we
- 1:01wanted to validate them. Like if we wanted somebody to,
- 1:05if you wanted one of our parents to validate our existence, it
- 1:08didn't happen. If we wanted, if we needed love,
- 1:10attention, affection from a narcissist, from a parent or a
- 1:14parental figure, when we were growing up and we didn't get it,
- 1:18it caused us to become who we are right now.
- 1:21You see what I'm saying and the fact that you love me?
- 1:24I don't if I don't think I'm deserving of love, right?
- 1:27If I do not think that I'm deserving of love and you choose
- 1:31to love me, then you get. You get punished for because how
- 1:35dare you love me? Nobody else did.
- 1:38I can't. I don't.
- 1:39I don't trust you even though I do.
- 1:43I might care about you in the beginning.
- 1:44Eventually it gets to that point where I no longer trust you.
- 1:49And if I don't trust you, I can't be around.
- 1:51I might want to keep you around, but I just don't trust you.
- 1:54So I keep you at arm's length. You see what I'm saying?
- 1:58I I, I. This is how I describe it to
- 1:59people. Narcissistic people push you
- 2:03away. They push, they tend to push you
- 2:04away, but they grab you around the collar while they're doing
- 2:07it. So they they keep you as arm's
- 2:09length, but it's like they get you around the collar.
- 2:11So you can't get close to them. You can't get you only.
- 2:14You can only get as close to them as they allow you to.
- 2:17And then you get punished over and over and over.
- 2:19Why don't I get punished suddenly?
- 2:20Why we get punished? Sometimes you pick you,
- 2:23sometimes you just choose to love the wrong person and it
- 2:25happens like that quite a few times.
- 2:26Y'all just didn't throw out life.
- 2:28Like if you picked if you the wrong person possibly to your
- 2:31life, you think they're the right person.
- 2:33They present themselves under the guise of the of the right
- 2:37person in your life. Like I am the person that you
- 2:39want. I am the person that you need.
- 2:41I'm the person that you've been praying for.
- 2:43So when I pop up into your life, it's like, okay, I'm here right
- 2:46now for you. You want me, You need me.
- 2:49You, I said I'm here right now for you.
- 2:51But like everybody knows, I think most people understand
- 2:54that when you meet a narcissistic person, typically
- 2:57they're not presenting them who they really are.
- 2:59Typically they're presenting who they need to be to get you to
- 3:02fall for them. Because This is why a lot of
- 3:04people mask in the very beginning.
- 3:07A lot of narcissistic people mask in the very beginning and
- 3:10like and don't show you who they really are because they don't
- 3:13think the real version of themselves is worthy of love, is
- 3:19deserving of love. So how could you love the real
- 3:22version of me? So I need to create a better
- 3:23version of me. I need to create a better
- 3:26version of who I am to get you to fall in love for me.
- 3:28Because. Because I don't think I've been
- 3:30shown, look, it's been proven to me throughout my life that the
- 3:34regular version of myself, who I really am, is not deserving of
- 3:37love, right? So I have to become somebody
- 3:40else to get you to love me. So I'm angry.
- 3:42Why can't I be myself? It's frustrating inside.
- 3:44It's frustrating inside of me that I cannot, that I cannot be
- 3:48myself in this space. I can't.
- 3:50I can't get people to love me. For me, it is.
- 3:53At least that's what I've told myself over the over the
- 3:55duration of my childhood. I can't get people to love me
- 3:58for me. So I'm angry at something like
- 4:00that. You.
- 4:00I'm angry at the fact that no one will ever love me for me.
- 4:03And that's frustrating this hell to narcissistic, toxic people.
- 4:05And that's not me trying to feel sorry for them.
- 4:07Don't do that. This is not.
- 4:08This is the hey. I feel sorry for them.
- 4:10Lee made me feel sorry for them. And I went back.
- 4:12Nope. Nope, Nope.
- 4:14If you're looking for, like, if you're looking for a sign to go
- 4:19back to your toxic ex, this ain't it.
- 4:22This ain't it. This is not the sign you're
- 4:24looking for. These are not the drugs you look
- 4:25for. You know what I'm saying?
- 4:26These are not. That's not the sign you're
- 4:28looking for. So I I had to repeatedly tell
- 4:30people like that narcissist, the person in your life.
- 4:32Because they feel like. And we get angry.
- 4:34Yeah. Because we feel like we have to
- 4:35become somebody else. We get angry.
- 4:39I get angry because I have to be someone else to get love.
- 4:43Oh, listen, this is what this is what This is what I've convinced
- 4:45myself based on the the perceived facts of my life.
- 4:49You notice I said perceived facts because perception is
- 4:52everything when you're growing up, because two people going
- 4:54through the exact same situation could perceive it differently.
- 4:58One person could receive the situation is traumatic.
- 5:00The other person could receive. The situation is something to
- 5:02grow from. You see what I'm saying?
- 5:04My brother, I have a twin brother.
- 5:05He's not a narcissist. We would be very, very similar
- 5:07situations growing up having two.
- 5:08Yes, I have a twin brother. He's not a narcissist.
- 5:10We would do very similar situations growing up.
- 5:12But I perceive, but I perceived there's trauma and neglect.
- 5:16He didn't perceive it that way. You know what I'm saying?
- 5:18So when we're growing up, the perception of the facts of our
- 5:21life, that we convinced ourselves that we're not
- 5:23deserving of love in our in our true original form.
- 5:27And I get angry at that. Y'all I get angry at the fact
- 5:29that I don't think people can love me for me.
- 5:31And guess what? You fall in love with again.
- 5:33And you look, there's some sound weird right here.
- 5:35Y'all you prove it right When you fall for me.
- 5:40When you fall for that narcissistic person.
- 5:42It's this weird confirmation bias that goes on the side of
- 5:44our heads where you prove us right because you fall in love
- 5:48with the false version of us. You fall.
- 5:50You fall in love with the version of ourselves that we
- 5:52present towards you. You fall in love with the
- 5:55version of ourselves that we can never really actually live up,
- 5:57Live up to be. And now we're angry because you
- 6:00proved us right. I'm mad as hell at you now
- 6:02because you proved me right. You get now.
- 6:05Now you're going to get punished for loving me, the false version
- 6:08of me, because I don't think the real version of me is deserving
- 6:11of love. You see how it all came
- 6:13together. Who?
- 6:14I don't think the real version of me is deserving of love.
- 6:17And guess what? You just proved me right by
- 6:19loving me, living the false version.
- 6:21So now I get. Now I'm angry.
- 6:23Now I'm resentful for you because you proved me right.
- 6:26I know people, Go ahead, believe.
- 6:27Is all this going on behind in the mind of a narcissist?
- 6:29This is sub, this is subconscious thoughts.
- 6:32These are subconscious thoughts and actions.
- 6:34I just have the ability, because I've been in therapy for six
- 6:36years, to actually verbalize my thought process, to actually sit
- 6:40and look with, look internally, meditate and understand why I'm
- 6:44doing the things that I'm doing. So I'm sitting out here, I'm
- 6:47punishing you for loving me because you love the false
- 6:49version of me. And guess then this y'all.
- 6:52And guess what happens. Here's another.
- 6:54Here's another weird confirmation bias.
- 6:56When that narcissistic person takes their mask off and starts
- 7:00treating you differently when they become who they really are
- 7:02in a relationship. And so they start treating you
- 7:04differently. You don't like that.
- 7:08You don't like it. You don't like it, do you, when
- 7:09they start treating you differently in a relationship.
- 7:11So guess what happens? You ask them to go back to the
- 7:15beginning. You asked them to go back to the
- 7:17beginning of the relationship. Hey, can we go back to how
- 7:19things used to be? So guess what you're telling me
- 7:22right now? You confirm me that I'm not good
- 7:24enough in my in my normal, in my natural state.
- 7:26You want me to go back to the fake version of me.
- 7:28So here comes again. Y'all.
- 7:30You see how it all came together?
- 7:32Because now you want to go back to the beginning.
- 7:34The beginning wasn't the real me.
- 7:37So now you want the fake version of me.
- 7:38You want the mask, the version of me.
- 7:40So that narcissistic person is might get angrier if you ask
- 7:44them to start over. If you ask them to take it back
- 7:47to the beginning, they might get angry.
- 7:49Because now you're telling me that you I'm not good enough
- 7:51again. Weird confirmation bias.
- 7:54Now you telling me again that I'm not good enough for you.
- 7:58You want the old fake version of me that you fell in love with?
- 8:00That I that you want the character That you want the
- 8:03character that I created that you fell in love with.
- 8:06So you again, You telling me that I'm not good enough.
- 8:08You telling me that you don't want the real version of me.
- 8:10You're telling me that I'm not good enough.
- 8:12The person sitting in front of you right now is not good enough
- 8:15for you. You so much so that you want the
- 8:18old false version of me back. So you see whether you use words
- 8:21or phrases like can we go back to the beginning?
- 8:24Can we start over? They get angry, but in our
- 8:26narcissistic person is different.
- 8:28Y'all they like. I said, just because they get
- 8:30angry at you doesn't mean they're going to fully get rid
- 8:32of you. They might emotionally discard
- 8:35you, but they might. They will probably physically
- 8:37keep you around. It happens a lot right there.
- 8:39Y'all where they even they will emotionally discard you, get rid
- 8:41of you, but they will physically keep you around.
- 8:44They'll physically keep you here and things like that because
- 8:48they don't want to. They they, they some narcissists
- 8:50don't want to be by themselves and some of them might actually
- 8:52deep down and they think that they care about you.
- 8:55There's another weird caveat right there.
- 8:57And if they deep down, they might actually believe that they
- 8:59care about you or they can't. They don't.
- 9:01They don't have the the, the level of thinking that I do,
- 9:05which most most narcissists don't.
- 9:06Y'all do. You get false narcissistic
- 9:08people who pretend to have that. The level of thing that I do,
- 9:11the level of for life, a better word, the level of introspection
- 9:15I'm able to perceive within myself because I've been working
- 9:17myself for so long. But you do this weird
- 9:21confirmation bias. You know this is not this is
- 9:22this video is not meant for y'all to go tell the narcissist
- 9:26you you accept them for who they really are right now.
- 9:28I'm not trying. Yeah, I'm not.
- 9:29I'm trying my hardest to not get y'all to stay in the top
- 9:31relationship because that's not what I want.
- 9:33I don't want you to stay inside of a toxic gas relationship
- 9:37because you saw a video from Lee Hammer.
- 9:38They said, well, I told them I want to go back to the
- 9:41beginning. I miss how they used to treat
- 9:43me. And it's my fault.
- 9:44It's not your fault. Y'all.
- 9:46It's not your fault. The narcissist, the person
- 9:47should have presented themselves as who they are really are in
- 9:51the beginning. That's something that they need
- 9:53to work on, not you. You see what I'm saying?
- 9:56That's something that that narcissistic person needs to
- 9:58work on, not you. It is not your responsibility to
- 10:03fix, quote UN quote, fix this person.
- 10:05It's not your responsibility to have this person go to therapy.
- 10:07It's not your responsibility to have this person do this and do
- 10:09that and that. Your is doubt.
- 10:10It's not your responsibility. You're a human being, you know?
- 10:13Yeah, I know what people I I get so many people.
- 10:16They hear these answers that I give, and you try to find a
- 10:19biblical verse to justify you staying in a touch relationship,
- 10:22or you hear a sermon that just like I just got to push through
- 10:25y'all. Sometimes people in the Bible
- 10:30left relationships all the time. They did.
- 10:34The people in the Bible did horrible things and God still
- 10:38bless them. I don't want.
- 10:40God hates divorce. God hates it in the Bible.
- 10:42God hates a lot of stuff. But some of the stuff that
- 10:44people were doing, he forgave them for.
- 10:46You know what I'm saying? Maybe the boy saw, look at saw
- 10:51and Moses Mo Moses in the beginning.
- 10:56Moses. Moses, Yeah, go look at Moses.
- 11:00Moses threw, threw, threw away in the bushes.
- 11:03But yeah, don't let that. Like I said, this is not the
- 11:05video for you to just be like you know what I need to go back
- 11:07to. The talk says no, I don't want
- 11:10to stay with you. I'll.
- 11:10I'll. No, no, no, This.
- 11:13If you're looking for a sign, this ain't it.
- 11:15I'm just explaining why they punish you because they don't
- 11:17feel the narcissistic person will never ever feel good
- 11:20enough. Y'all.
- 11:22And it might be. They might suck for you to hear,
- 11:25but it's the truth. That narcissist that you're
- 11:26dealing with will probably feel like they'd never be good enough
- 11:30for anything. And I know y'all like, only I.
- 11:33It never makes me feel sad. Y'all y'all.
- 11:36That's easy. These emotions, boy, these
- 11:38emotions. Let me get y'all caught up.
- 11:41Anyway, y'all let me hop off this thing.
- 11:42I really, I truly appreciate every single way, every single
- 11:45one of y'all like and subscribe for more than of course, of
- 11:48course, Of course. Because then this is that peace.
