Transcript
- 0:00So what are some of the warning signs that somebody you're
- 0:04dealing with is a narcissist? Like the warning signs that
- 0:08somebody that you're talking to currently or somebody that
- 0:11you've been talking to for a while or getting trying to get
- 0:13to know, it could be a narcissist or a very highly
- 0:16toxic person. That's what we're talking about
- 0:19today, Y'all? Of course, if you're new here,
- 0:21I'm Lee Hammock, I'm a diagnosed narcissist here to give you an
- 0:23inside look at the mind of a narcissist.
- 0:25And welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:45Welcome back folks, welcome back, welcome back.
- 0:47As y'all know, I said I'm transitioning to the mental
- 0:51illness podcast, all things Lee Hammock, all things narcissism,
- 0:54just doing interviews and having an actual podcast here on the
- 0:57channel. But yes, y'all the warning signs
- 1:00of a highly narcissistic toxic person.
- 1:02What the hell are they? What could, what could they be?
- 1:07I'm glad you asked because the very first warning sign that
- 1:10somebody's a narcissist goes under goes overlooked all the
- 1:13time. Matter of fact, it's probably
- 1:15one of the main things that people talk about but you just
- 1:17don't realize it. It's your intuition.
- 1:22Simply put, your intuition is there to warn you.
- 1:26Your intuition is there to protect you.
- 1:30Your intuition is be be Yeah, the narcissist or you talk to
- 1:34people be setting your intuition off majorly.
- 1:37Yeah. Y'all here?
- 1:38Yeah, like when you, if you're sitting there dealing with
- 1:40somebody right on the first day and all of a sudden you start
- 1:43hearing or like some like a a nuclear, the sounds that a
- 1:48nuclear power plant is about to meltdown or warning signs or
- 1:52police sirens or something like that.
- 1:53In your mind, you're the only person that can hear them.
- 1:56That's your intuition setting off the bells, the warning
- 2:00bells. Your intuition is saying, hey,
- 2:01look, this person might not be it.
- 2:05Hey, look, this person might be toxic as hell.
- 2:08Hey, look, this person probably is not who we need to be with.
- 2:12Probably not who you need to be with.
- 2:15Your intuition is telling you it'd be, it'd be screaming to
- 2:19the rooftop from the rooftop. It's like, leave them alone,
- 2:22please. And so many people ignore it.
- 2:26So many people. What's that sound?
- 2:27What's what's that bell? What's that warning noises, Huh?
- 2:31I don't, I don't get it. I don't have no idea what it is.
- 2:34And then you come to realize that it's the narcissistic
- 2:36person. It's this person in front of you
- 2:39setting you off. You get us your sixth sense
- 2:41about this person is going off, but you shake it off.
- 2:44You tell yourself that you're overreacting.
- 2:46You tell yourself that you maybe you're wrong, like you've been a
- 2:49bad judge of people in the past. So this is just something
- 2:51similar to that, to that, right? No, your intuition probably
- 2:56gives you is the first warning sign that most people that have
- 3:00dealt with a narcissist by like that have dealt with a
- 3:03narcissist by choice. What I mean by choice is that
- 3:06it's not your parent or your sibling, right?
- 3:09Or somebody that you cannot avoid somebody that you grow up
- 3:11in a household with, right? Not a parental figure, like
- 3:14boyfriend, girlfriend, dating, whatever the case may be, right.
- 3:18People that you can avoid. Like people ignore their
- 3:21intuition so much and they yeah, so many people regret it.
- 3:26It's not just one of those things where you you regret like
- 3:28you ignore your intuition and you just like, you know what?
- 3:31I'm so happy I ignore my intuition.
- 3:32It's it just kept me safe. Just hope.
- 3:34No. Most people that I talked to,
- 3:37they ignored their intuition that ignored that, that feeling
- 3:41in the pit of their stomach that ignored that, ignored that.
- 3:45This, the feeling that just did this just didn't feel right.
- 3:48Most people regret, end up regretting it hugely in the
- 3:53future. Like they, they super regret it.
- 3:55They cannot. Like I can't believe.
- 3:57I can't believe I ignored this. I can't believe I overlooked
- 4:00this. I can't believe I did this.
- 4:01I can't believe I did that. Which is understandable and
- 4:05trust me when I say I get it, I 100% get it.
- 4:08I understand it. And that's why it's so
- 4:09frustrating when people are dealing with narcissists and you
- 4:12get, you just get bamboozled. You just do.
- 4:17So trust your intuition. That's a warning sign.
- 4:20Your intuition is there to protect you, right?
- 4:23Not let you go astray. All right, the next warning sign
- 4:28that someone could be a narcissist or a very highly
- 4:31toxic person is they talk about themselves a lot.
- 4:34I'm, I'm not going to dive too deeply into this one right here,
- 4:37because I think this is one of the telltale signs that most
- 4:39people know. They just continuously talk
- 4:41about themselves, right? They talk about themselves,
- 4:44their achievements, blah, blah, blah, they try to impress you,
- 4:46blah, blah, blah. They've they learn, they listen.
- 4:48They it sound like it's like they on a date by themselves,
- 4:51right? They're talking to themselves
- 4:53the whole time. They talk about themselves and
- 4:55like you really don't need to be there because the conversation
- 4:58is all about them. You, you feel like, damn, I, you
- 5:01know what, I can disappear right now and they would still be
- 5:04talking because they're not worried about me.
- 5:06They can date themselves. That's a warning sign right
- 5:08there, y'all. But on the flip side of it not
- 5:11talking a lot, it's also a warning sign as well.
- 5:14Some narcissists are very good listeners.
- 5:16Not some. I've said a lot of narcissists
- 5:18are very good listeners, very analytical people that want to
- 5:22get to know every little thing about you like a warning sign.
- 5:28It's you feeling just too good. You trusting this person too
- 5:31much. Like y'all, I don't give a damn
- 5:34how good the first date is going.
- 5:37You should not be trauma dumping to this person.
- 5:41We should not be sharing share. We should not be sharing trauma
- 5:44stories on the first date. That's just my opinion right
- 5:47there. Like we just get to know each
- 5:49other. We should not be sharing trauma
- 5:51on the first date. Like you know what?
- 5:52Let's share this trauma. No, that's the first y'all, the
- 5:55first date. Come on now, come on lying.
- 6:00No, not the first date. That doesn't help anybody out
- 6:02but the narcissist right You trauma dub it on the first date
- 6:06only helps the narcissist. It only helps them.
- 6:09It only keeps them here. It only allows them the peace
- 6:13and the tranquility right to move forward.
- 6:14You know it gives them more information to use against you
- 6:17later on. And sometimes narcissist lie
- 6:20about their damn trauma, you'll share a traumatic experience or
- 6:24deep dark secret and they'll share something similar, right?
- 6:27It's just we're kindred Spears. We have the same very similar
- 6:30stories. And it turns out they lied.
- 6:33They don't have the same story. They lying their ass off to you
- 6:36to get you to feel sorry for them too.
- 6:41Come on, man, you know what I mean?
- 6:45But this is how it goes. This is what this is the process
- 6:48that so many people go through right here.
- 6:50Trust your you want to trust your intuition, of course,
- 6:53right? But when you're dealing with
- 6:54this type of person, you also have to be able to discern like
- 6:58I'm over sharing. They're not sharing anything
- 7:02with me, which can be weird, right?
- 7:04Because sometimes you're so used to people over talking you and
- 7:07only talk about themselves. It feels great for have to have
- 7:10somebody listen to you for once, doesn't it?
- 7:13I also understand that it feels amazing to have someone
- 7:18listening to you for once, doesn't it?
- 7:20Yes, it absolutely does. But that's the thing right
- 7:23there. That's the caveat.
- 7:24You got to be careful because they're listening to use it
- 7:28against you. They're not listening because
- 7:29they care so much and they're so interested.
- 7:31They're listening to use it against you later on and to
- 7:33create the mask. You help them create the mask by
- 7:36get over share it and giving them more information than what
- 7:39is necessary. Y'all, I truly, I promise you
- 7:42that's where it goes. I promise you.
- 7:44You mean the next warning sign, y'all?
- 7:47And this could be a warning sign that everybody know about.
- 7:49If you don't know about it, you got to know about it.
- 7:52Yes. Y'all see back in my head.
- 7:54No dress, I cut my hair, but yeah, baby lying.
- 7:59Y'all. I don't give a damn how cute
- 8:03this person is, how fat the butt is, how handsome they are, how
- 8:07much money they. I don't care if they are lying.
- 8:12They ass off to you on the first date.
- 8:14What do you think they're going to do on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th date
- 8:16down the road when you have kids down, when they're late out late
- 8:20at night? You think they'll be telling you
- 8:21the truth about where they are? People that lie to you upfront
- 8:25have the tendency, the huge have a huge tendency to lie to you
- 8:29later on. If you catch them in a little
- 8:32unnecessary lie to leave them alone.
- 8:35Y'all it's unnecessary. I'm just let's say now all there
- 8:38are people out there that just lie just accidentally like
- 8:41they've missed they miss misrepresent something.
- 8:43Yeah, but there's a difference between misrepresenting
- 8:46something and flat out lying. Mr. A flat out lie is saying
- 8:52that there's a misrepresenting something.
- 8:53Oh, I'm married, but we sleeping separate.
- 8:55We sleeping separate rooms. That's a lot.
- 8:56That's misrepresenting the marriage.
- 8:58A lie is I'm not married at all. You something like y'all just
- 9:00got to be careful. If they lie up front, they will
- 9:04lie later on. You, y'all, you, we, we, I'm
- 9:07going to clue myself in this. We have to use better
- 9:09discernment, right? Because this is not just a
- 9:11boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife type of thing.
- 9:13Even when you get into getting to know new people, if they're
- 9:16telling you lies in the beginning, what do you think
- 9:18they're going to do later on? If you get to getting to know
- 9:20people on a friendship level, what the hell do you think
- 9:23they're going to do later on? If they're lying to you up front
- 9:27and so cavalier, what do you think they're going to do later
- 9:30on, huh? You see what I'm saying?
- 9:34This is what we have. This is what you're up against
- 9:37out here in this wild, Wild West, a wild, wild world of
- 9:41dealing with toxic, manipulative, abusive people.
- 9:43They're going to give you warning signs up front, but it's
- 9:46up to you to follow to, to just understand these signs right
- 9:50here, y'all, to understand that these are actually warning signs
- 9:53and to act on them, right? To act on them.
- 9:58That's what you have to do. That's what is needed.
- 10:00Because once you see the warning signs, right, once you see the
- 10:04warning signs and some of them I, I can't mention all the
- 10:06warning signs in one video. Y'all have to do a whole series
- 10:08on this. Once you see the warning signs,
- 10:11it's up to you to act on it, right?
- 10:14It's up to you to to be able to this use discernment to separate
- 10:19yourself from this person if at all possible.
- 10:21Now, if you have a business relationship with this person,
- 10:23you know, you got to be be on your P's and Q's.
- 10:26If you can't cut this person out of your life, you know you got
- 10:28to be on your PS and QS. This is your mother-in-law,
- 10:30father-in-law, whoever it is like damn my father-in-law be
- 10:33lying his ass off. Damn.
- 10:35My mother-in-law is a bat shit crazy narcissist.
- 10:38And I know it's going to be very difficult to for me to to
- 10:40convince my partner that their mom is crazy as hell, right?
- 10:44Yeah. So you have to make a plan in
- 10:46these situations. You have to get it.
- 10:48Take stay one step ahead. You have to understand your
- 10:51target or your opponent in this situation and be able to use
- 10:54your discernment to if it's possible to leave them alone.
- 10:57Y'all, there's more than one date out there, right?
- 10:59There's more people out there to date.
- 11:01Everybody ain't in a relationship and not everybody's
- 11:03a not. Not everyone is a narcissist or
- 11:05her line their asses off to be manipulative.
- 11:08That's just not true. You mean that's just not the
- 11:10truth right there. So it's up to you to determine
- 11:14it. It's up to you to use your power
- 11:16to cut this person off like I look.
- 11:18And This is why it's so important when you have, when
- 11:21you see the warning signs and you decide to cut a person off
- 11:23when you first get to know them. I don't think that everybody is
- 11:27deserving of a second chance. Well, Lee, why not?
- 11:30Because when you get them, if you give them after the first
- 11:33time, when they show you who they really are, the second
- 11:36opportunity you give them of course, is going to be better
- 11:39most time, right? Why wouldn't it be better?
- 11:43You have now given me to me the blueprint to manipulate you.
- 11:47Oh, you don't like when I said this or did this, even though
- 11:50that's what I really like to do. I'm going to pretend like I
- 11:54don't like that in order to get you, in order to manipulate you,
- 11:57you're just giving people more opportunities to create a better
- 12:00mask to manipulate you. And then guess what happened two
- 12:03years down the road, 3 years down the road, y'all got kids,
- 12:05y'all got businesses together, Y'all don't got married or
- 12:07whatever the case may be. Y'all live together, Y'all
- 12:09bought a house together, Y'all cosign this for shit.
- 12:11Guess what? This time down the road, they
- 12:13ripped the carpet. They ripped the carpet off from
- 12:15under your feet and drop you on top of your damn head and now
- 12:18you're confused and acting like I don't.
- 12:19I never saw they're coming. You see what I'm saying?
- 12:22This is what they're going to do to you.
- 12:24This is what they do. This is why you have to be so
- 12:27prepared and so ready. Because the more the less you
- 12:30are, the more prepared you are to act, the more prepared you
- 12:33are. It just allows you.
- 12:34It's easier to escape early on. It's more difficult to leave
- 12:38this person alone years down the road.
- 12:40It just is before you actually get to really in depth with this
- 12:44person or start sharing bodily fluids, whatever the hell y'all
- 12:47be out here doing these days, get to know the person first.
- 12:50Make sure this person is not a danger to you, Not only you, but
- 12:52your children or whoever you whoever's lives you're bringing
- 12:55them into. Because if you already have
- 12:57kids, you have a family or you have a business or whatever the
- 12:59case may be, you have a house and you're bringing this person
- 13:02into your life. That's why it's so important.
- 13:04Y'all sidebar, sidebar to me gonna get out of here.
- 13:08If you have children and you're, you see this part, you ignoring
- 13:12the warning signs, you bringing abusive people around your
- 13:15children, Come wait, we got to wake the fuck up.
- 13:17Now, if you notice this person is being they're yelling at the
- 13:21waiter, they're being aggressive at the waiter, they're being
- 13:23manipulative, they're lying. They have a track record of
- 13:26domestic violence or domestic abuse or something like that.
- 13:28They're they're an addict or something like that.
- 13:30And you willfully bringing them around your children and keeping
- 13:33them around your kids. Come on now, come on.
- 13:37Sometimes you just need a wake up call because narcissists
- 13:40don't give a damn about your kids or how your kids feel about
- 13:42them. They're going to try to isolate
- 13:43you away from there. They're going to try to get you
- 13:45to send the kids to the dad's house or to the mom's house.
- 13:47They're going to try to separate their relationship and will.
- 13:50And are some some people out here that are willing to send
- 13:53their kids away to keep their partner around?
- 13:55Yes, I've talked to them all the time and I'll do my one on ones
- 13:58I try to give them and wake up they will you.
- 14:00If you send your kids away for this man, your kids are probably
- 14:03never going to talk to you again.
- 14:04Or is this man or this woman worth it?
- 14:07Oh, damn, Lee, I didn't think about it like that.
- 14:09Yeah. Why?
- 14:10Because you're you're smitten, Because you're trauma bonded,
- 14:13Because you've been manipulated. That's what my one on ones are
- 14:15for you. I don't want my one on ones over
- 14:17Zoom or wake up calls for people.
