Transcript
- 0:00What is going on? Beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we're talking about why narcissists hurt people, Why
- 0:06narcissists might hurt you even if you have done nothing to
- 0:09them. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:10Lee Hammond. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:12narcissist and welcome to episode 1001 of the Narcissist
- 0:17Code. Boom.
- 0:34Welcome back. Welcome back.
- 0:35Welcome back. Welcome back.
- 0:36Yeah. 101-101-1000 and one new look.
- 0:42New Year. New me.
- 0:45Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So, narcissistic people, Why do
- 0:50narcissists hurt people? Why do narcissists hurt you when
- 0:53you haven't done anything to them, when the only thing, the
- 0:56only thing you've done to them is try to love them?
- 0:58So these are my thoughts, y'all this is all you know, this is
- 1:01my, these are my anecdotal thoughts, anecdotal, but this is
- 1:05my mind, yo. When I when I get to sit by
- 1:06myself, sometimes I just think somebody, sometimes somebody
- 1:09asking me a question and I'll just ponder that question for a
- 1:13long time and somebody asks me, it's like why do they hurt us
- 1:15when all we try to do is love them?
- 1:17Like why do they hurt us? Like I'll do.
- 1:19All I'm trying to do is love my ex and he just went above me on
- 1:23the ruin my life to hurt me, to make me cry.
- 1:25This, this that one of the main reasons that a narcissistic
- 1:29person will try to hurt you. Like this is my again y'all let
- 1:33me say this again. These are just my thoughts.
- 1:35I could be wrong. I'm open to being wrong.
- 1:37I'm open to disagreements. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:39Y'all got it. OK, let's hop into it.
- 1:41So this is my how my mind works. I think that a lot of
- 1:44narcissists hurt people that trigger that trigger memories of
- 1:49their childhood, trigger members of the time when they went
- 1:54through stuff, trigger memories of the time that they went
- 1:57through possibly the childhood trauma that made them
- 2:00narcissistic. You know, possibly in that space
- 2:04right there. These are just my thoughts on it
- 2:06right here. Because again, y'all could be,
- 2:07could very well be wrong, but this is how my mind works on
- 2:10this thing right here. Like a lot of narcissistic
- 2:12people end up hating like a lot of narcissistic men end up
- 2:18hating women because women remind them of their mother who
- 2:21was obesity towards them or neglectful towards them, or
- 2:24didn't validate them, didn't give them the love and affection
- 2:26that they wanted as a child, Right.
- 2:29You see what I'm saying with the with the with that space right
- 2:32there, it didn't give them anything that they wanted and
- 2:35needed. So they grow up with this
- 2:37internal hatred and the trauma and they treat you badly because
- 2:41you remind them of their mother. Like they hold on to the members
- 2:45of their trauma, like their childhood trauma, their
- 2:48childhood wounds. They take them out on you just
- 2:51because you chose to love them. You didn't do that, you did.
- 2:54You might not have done anything wrong to this person.
- 2:57You just picked this person to love or that person chose you
- 2:59and y'all fell in love or whatnot.
- 3:01That happens. And then within the space they
- 3:04try to try to, they started treating you terribly because
- 3:07you remind them of the childhood wound.
- 3:10Like you remind them their their inner child of the narcissist.
- 3:13It's taking it out on you. You know, like like I said, the
- 3:17first example I gave was a narcissistic man hating women.
- 3:21It could be a narcissistic woman hating women.
- 3:24It could be a narcissistic woman hating men because their father,
- 3:27you know, a narcissistic mothers and fathers exist.
- 3:29Gender is irrelevant in these in in this toxic equation right
- 3:33here. But it does play a role.
- 3:35Like I said, it could play a role in it.
- 3:37Whoever hurt me as a child, I might see them in you as an
- 3:42adult. So I take it out on you.
- 3:45You were like every time I'm every time I'm around you like
- 3:49like you know this that could be what attract that might attract
- 3:52that attracts some people to the narcissist because you, the
- 3:55narcissistic person reminds you of maybe your toxic parent that
- 3:58you grew up with. The same thing can be true for
- 4:01the on the narcissistic side. You could remind them of the
- 4:04person that abused them, but they just get attracted to it
- 4:07and they love bomb you and they get into this space with you and
- 4:09then they realize you trigger them and again y'all it's not oh
- 4:14it's not again this is not me blaming you.
- 4:16You're just existing. Your existence becomes a trigger
- 4:20for that narcissistic person. You know your existence or your
- 4:24your you been in this space becomes triggering to this toxic
- 4:28narcissistic person. So they treat you badly because
- 4:32they haven't healed their inner child.
- 4:35If you, if y'all been following me for any time, any the
- 4:38discernible time period, you know, y'all know I talk a lot
- 4:40about the damaged inner child of a narcissist.
- 4:43That's like I hammer away at that because it's so true.
- 4:46Narcissistic people typically walk around and run around with
- 4:49these damaged, damaged inner children and they just take it
- 4:53out. They hurt other people because
- 4:54of it. They hurt you because they are
- 4:57hurt. They're hurting themselves, You
- 4:58know, They take it out on you because they themselves are
- 5:01going through some pain in themselves, like they haven't
- 5:03healed from their own childhood wounds or the OR the things that
- 5:07affected them and their youth and whatnot.
- 5:09So they take it out on you. You get the brunt of it because
- 5:11you are here. You know you are here with me.
- 5:15So I take it out on you. You know, I harm you because you
- 5:19are present, like you are the person closest to me.
- 5:21So you get it the worst. You remind me of this old
- 5:24person. You see what I'm saying?
- 5:29The old Usher song. You you remind me.
- 5:31You know, you remind me of a girl that I once knew and that
- 5:34girl that he once knew could be his mom so he could take me
- 5:37taking it out on you. But I know what people want to
- 5:39say when you hear this. But Lee, he actually has a good
- 5:43relationship with his mom, or she actually has a good
- 5:44relationship with her mom or dad or whatever.
- 5:46Whoever it is, they actually have good relationship with
- 5:48their parents. It doesn't mean that they don't
- 5:51have trauma, you know? It doesn't mean that there's not
- 5:55trauma there because they have a good relationship in your eye.
- 5:59Doesn't mean that there wasn't any type of abuse or trauma
- 6:02because toxic narcissistic parents like to put on a good
- 6:05act in front of people, you know, they want to make like
- 6:07they want to make it seem like this mom or this dad couldn't be
- 6:11abusive in any way, shape or form.
- 6:13But I don't see that they're just so bubbly.
- 6:15But y'all y'all understand y'all dealt with toxic narcissistic
- 6:17parents before. You might y'all might have toxic
- 6:19mother in laws or toxic father in laws and y'all understand
- 6:22like, damn, This is why my partner act the way that they
- 6:24act, because they got raised by that and that's why.
- 6:28And that allows y'all. And sometimes in these spaces
- 6:30that's hard. Not making excuses for the
- 6:32narcissist, but you start looking at it in a different
- 6:35way. You know, you start feeling a
- 6:37different way about the situation, the situation and
- 6:40whatnot. But that's could be one of the
- 6:42reasons why narcissistic people hurt you, you know, because of
- 6:45the childhood wounds, because of the things that they experienced
- 6:47in their childhood that they haven't healed from.
- 6:49They just relive it through you because you might trigger them
- 6:51the way you act, the way you present yourself, the way you
- 6:53look, you know, maybe your name or something like that that
- 6:56reminds them of the childhood trauma.
- 6:57And let me go ahead and say this because I know people, people
- 7:00like to twist things. This is not me trying to justify
- 7:02anybody getting treated in the getting treated in a bad way.
- 7:08You know what I'm saying? There's not me trying to get in,
- 7:09justify any toxic ass behaviors. That's not what I'm trying to
- 7:12do. You got what I'm saying.
- 7:15This is not me trying to justify any toxicity going on.
- 7:18This is me just trying to let y'all know that this is what
- 7:20happens sometimes any toxic relationships faces, this is how
- 7:23it goes. Like they might try to
- 7:25manipulate you, they might try to take it out on you, they
- 7:27might try to harm you or hurt you because of things that they
- 7:29experience in their youth and there's nothing you can do about
- 7:32it. This is something that they have
- 7:33to want to work on themselves. This is something that they have
- 7:36to face themselves. I'm not telling you to leave
- 7:38this person, but I'm just saying if they're not willing to work
- 7:40on it, this is who you going to be dealing with.
- 7:43This is him. This is them.
- 7:44This is they're they're showing you that you're going to, hey,
- 7:46you're going to be dealing with this.
- 7:48This is who you're going to be dealing with.
- 7:49You're going to be dealing with me, this version of me, for the
- 7:51duration of our relationship. If you can handle that, sign the
- 7:55dotted line. If you can't handle that, you
- 7:57know, go somewhere else. Because this is where it goes.
- 7:59This is what happens a lot of times within these spaces in
- 8:02relationship dynamics. It just does.
- 8:05So that's what I'm just telling you right now, that like, if
- 8:06y'all have dealt with a narcissist or a toxic person,
- 8:08whoever, like this could be one of the reasons they hurt you
- 8:10because of their childhood, unhealed, open childhood wounds
- 8:13that they have to work out, you know that they have to work out,
- 8:17they have to take on you. Another reason y'all it gets.
- 8:20They could treat you badly because you're close to them,
- 8:25like you know, too. Like yeah you know too much and
- 8:28it sound it's I know it sounds ridiculous like you know too
- 8:31much like they told you you've been with them for years so you
- 8:34know so much. They might have been vulnerable
- 8:36you know they might have been vulnerable with you at first but
- 8:39now they've they've shut off they've closed themselves off
- 8:43and what not because there's a lot of different things going on
- 8:45within this space. Right.
- 8:48I just want people to be as safe and as strong as possible you
- 8:50know what I'm saying? Like that's where my mind goes.
- 8:52My mind goes into being safe for y'all, being strong for y'all,
- 8:56y'all understanding like who you're dealing with, what you're
- 8:58going through, you know, because like they could be hurting you
- 9:01because you're close to them. They could be hurting you
- 9:04because they're sadistic and they could be.
- 9:06They could get pleasure from your pain.
- 9:08They get like they like they get pleasure from hurting you or
- 9:10making you cry or upsetting you or, you know, your reactions
- 9:14could give them pleasure. So be very, very careful when
- 9:17they when somebody is hurting you and they seem like it's they
- 9:19doing it on purpose because sometimes they do it on purpose.
- 9:21Y'all, I'm not saying that it's never intentional, but sometimes
- 9:24it's not intentional. It's just this is just their
- 9:27second nature. But the impact is important.
- 9:30Matter of fact, look at my shirt, My shirt says impact,
- 9:32look, impact over intent. Y'all know y'all can't really
- 9:34have the mic on there. But impact over intent, like the
- 9:39intentions might not be to hurt you, but the impact 'cause you
- 9:41got hurt. Because they haven't.
- 9:44They don't want to do anything to work on their behaviour.
- 9:46So this is who you're going to be dealing with.
- 9:48So this is what I try to convey to people like this is your
- 9:50person, This is the person you're going to be be with
- 9:52because most of them will not go to therapy and put the work in
- 9:55and change their behaviors. And whether or not they go to
- 9:57therapy and change their behaviors or put any type of
- 9:58work in has very little to do with you.
- 10:02Again, let me say this, it has very little to do with you.
- 10:05So you have to protect yourself, protect your peace and protect
- 10:08yourself in these spaces right now.
- 10:10You know, because a lot of narcissistic people out here,
- 10:12even though they might not mean be meaning to hurt you if
- 10:15they're continuously hurting you.
- 10:16Y'all in the mind of some nurses, they don't think it's
- 10:19that bad because you might continue to stay with them.
- 10:21Hey, if it's that bad, if you just if it's that toxic, why are
- 10:24you staying with me? You know, if you really, if you
- 10:27really don't like me, or were you really hurting or you really
- 10:29in some type of pain, then why are you with me?
- 10:31You don't have to be with me, you know?
- 10:33So they'll say that type of stuff to try to justify their
- 10:36abuse towards you. And yes, some of them people,
- 10:38some people are aware of their abuse.
- 10:40That's why they try to hide it. If they didn't know that they
- 10:42were hurting you, why would they try to hide it?
- 10:45Why they don't? Why don't they want you talking
- 10:47to people about what's going on unless it's good, you know?
- 10:51So there's there's something you want to be wary of as well.
- 10:53Y'all. Anyway, y'all hope this video
- 10:55watches some clarity. Hope it watches some peace.
