  So what is the point of love bombing?
• 0:03
  Like why do narcissistic people do it?
• 0:04
  Why do toxic people do it? Why does anybody love bomb?
• 0:07
  Why does anybody go over the top to try to infatuate you or get
• 0:12
  or be obsessed with you or get you to fall in love with them?
• 0:14
  Why, why? Why?
• 0:15
  Because how about that today? If you're new here, my name is
• 0:18
  Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
• 0:19
  narcissist that is here to help you out.
• 0:22
  And welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
• 0:41
  So love bombing confuses a lot of people.
• 0:45
  Let's get it. Let's just get that out the way.
• 0:47
  Let's just go and put that out there into the open.
• 0:49
  Let's put that out there into the ether, the empathetic ether,
• 0:52
  right, the impact ether. Let's put that out there that
• 0:57
  love bombing by by anybody can mess with your head it it just
• 1:01
  can. Y'all does love bombing feel
• 1:03
  amazing? Yes, love bombing feels amazing
• 1:07
  to the recipient recipient, but love bombing also feels good to
• 1:12
  the narcissistic person. So what is the point of it
• 1:16
  right? I know that's what we're here
• 1:17
  for. What?
• 1:17
  What is the point of it? Like I know everybody love
• 1:19
  bombs. You hear the term love bombing,
• 1:21
  you hear the term intimate reinforcement.
• 1:24
  You hear all these terms. What is the point of it all?
• 1:27
  Well, there's a few points, right?
• 1:29
  There's a few points to love bombing.
• 1:30
  There's a few goals that narcissistic people are trying
• 1:33
  to achieve when they are love bombing you.
• 1:36
  And no, I'm not saying that this is all a plan from the
• 1:39
  beginning. Can it be?
• 1:41
  Yeah, some narcissistic people are plotting.
• 1:44
  They they plot, right? They plot on how to get you to
• 1:46
  fall for them. That's just the the fact of the
• 1:48
  matter, right? But no two narcissists are the
• 1:52
  same. None.
• 1:53
  No2 narcissists are the same. Y'all?
• 1:55
  Did you hear me? No 2 are the same.
• 1:59
  So with that being said, then they'll that No2 narcissists are
• 2:02
  the same. It would make sense that the the
• 2:03
  goals are going to be different. The goals are not going to be
• 2:06
  the same. So what are the goals of love
• 2:10
  bombing? It's of course to just get you
• 2:13
  head over heels in love with them, right?
• 2:15
  That's one of the goals of love bombing by a narcissistic person
• 2:20
  is it literally get you the fall head over heels flat on your
• 2:24
  face in love with them. They just, they, they do it
• 2:27
  works y'all. But Lee, what the hell do they
• 2:29
  love Lee? Where do they hell do they love
• 2:31
  to love love bomb from? Like what did they learn to love
• 2:35
  bomb? Where does that come from?
• 2:36
  So it is going to sound super elementary.
• 2:40
  I can I, I get that right, but it's going to might blow your
• 2:43
  mind. Me as a narcissist.
• 2:46
  I learned to love bomb from watching Disney movies because
• 2:53
  that Disney movies, movies in general, I learned how to watch.
• 2:57
  I learned how to watch these movies and become Prince
• 3:00
  Charming does not. Does that not sound familiar to
• 3:03
  you? Prince Charming, right?
• 3:07
  How do I get people to fall in love with me?
• 3:08
  How do I get people to like me? How do I get people enthralled
• 3:11
  with me? Oh, go over the top, be
• 3:14
  charming, give them what they want, promise the future.
• 3:17
  You see what I'm saying? Promises that make, make, make
• 3:20
  all these types of promises. That's how I get them to fall
• 3:22
  for me. And that's how it works out,
• 3:24
  right? That's literally the mentality
• 3:27
  of it. That's how it works out.
• 3:28
  That's how it goes. So some of them are just love
• 3:31
  bombing you because like this, it's the most effective way to
• 3:36
  get you to fall for them. The most effective way to secure
• 3:39
  this new supply you in this instance, y'all, you are the new
• 3:43
  supply. It's just to secure the new
• 3:45
  supply to secure you to make sure that you're not going
• 3:47
  anywhere to make sure that I'm the only one to make sure that
• 3:50
  you're not necessarily stuck with me, but to make sure that
• 3:54
  you're going to be here. Hey, you going to be here with
• 3:56
  me? You ain't going nowhere else
• 3:57
  where you where else you going to go?
• 3:59
  You see, that's something you have to consider as well.
• 4:02
  This is part of the mentality. This is part of the mindset,
• 4:05
  This is part of how things are going to go.
• 4:07
  So you have to deal with this and this is something you have
• 4:09
  to consider. Like on the other end of it,
• 4:12
  you're getting enthralled, You're getting you're getting
• 4:15
  everything you want and need. You've been Hey, y'all, you've
• 4:17
  been praying for a partner and it's like you've been praying
• 4:20
  loudly for a partner. And it's like the narcissist has
• 4:22
  a you know, those, those cups. How you how back how back in the
• 4:26
  day we, we used to put the cups on the wall to try to listen.
• 4:31
  Oh, that's what you want. This is this is how I'm going to
• 4:36
  get you. Like they be listening.
• 4:42
  They be listening through the doors and stuff like that.
• 4:44
  Y'all to 'cause they want to be around you.
• 4:46
  They want to be in your life and whatnot.
• 4:47
  So they will listen. They will try to find where you
• 4:50
  are. They they will try to give you
• 4:51
  what you want and need because that's how they know they study
• 4:54
  you, they analyze you. They look at your dating profile
• 4:57
  and pick things off of that to give you what you want.
• 4:59
  It's not that. Let's be real, the most
• 5:02
  effective way to love bomb somebody is literally just to
• 5:04
  listen and ask them questions about what they want and need
• 5:07
  and then just go over the top with it.
• 5:09
  Oh, you like flowers? Here's 1000 flowers.
• 5:12
  Here's some here's some forever roses on our second date.
• 5:16
  Oh, you like this? Here's that on our third date.
• 5:19
  You see what I'm saying? So that's one of the main goals
• 5:20
  of love by me, y'all. It's just the the quickest way
• 5:23
  to get you to fall for them. The quickest way.
• 5:25
  The second day I'm going to talk about today, y'all, I might have
• 5:27
  a couple of other things as well.
• 5:28
  The second thing that I'm going to talk about with the love by
• 5:31
  me phase or why the point of love by me is literally y'all
• 5:35
  literally because it makes the narcissist feel good.
• 5:40
  It does love bombing makes the narcissist or taxi person feel
• 5:45
  good like we as a narcissist and this is me speaking from
• 5:50
  personal experience as well. I myself have gotten into the
• 5:55
  like I myself have I myself have gotten addicted to love bombing
• 6:03
  people. It feels so good, it feels
• 6:06
  great. It feels, it's like one of those
• 6:09
  things, it's like one of those things that keeps happening to
• 6:12
  people. Like I feel great, I love it.
• 6:14
  I love this feeling. It makes me feel alive.
• 6:16
  It validates me. Some narcissist can actually get
• 6:20
  to actually that's actually actually get supply from love
• 6:25
  bombing you and anybody else. Some narcissist absolutely can
• 6:30
  get narcissistic supply from love bombing you.
• 6:33
  Love bombing anybody. This is how they get it right
• 6:35
  here, right? This is how they get it and this
• 6:40
  is the mentality and this is the mindset of narcissistic people.
• 6:43
  Like we are trying to get our goals.
• 6:45
  Maybe we're we're trying to meet our goals, we're trying to get
• 6:48
  what we need. We're trying to do this, we're
• 6:49
  trying to do that, but like we want to feel good.
• 6:51
  We get bored and we just want to love bond people like This is
• 6:54
  why you see some narcissist that are, that are just like
• 6:59
  chronically in new relationships that they, they cannot stay
• 7:01
  single and they cannot stay in a relationship.
• 7:04
  Like they get bored very fast. You know, the love bombing
• 7:07
  phase. And This is why I tell people,
• 7:09
  if you're in a relationship with a narcissist and they move on
• 7:11
  very fast and their love bombing somebody else is not really even
• 7:14
  about you. It's about them.
• 7:17
  It's about them wanting to feel good.
• 7:19
  It's about, it's about them being damn near.
• 7:21
  I'm not, I'm not going to say dead inside, but they feel lost
• 7:24
  inside. They don't feel, they don't
• 7:26
  feel, they don't feel good inside.
• 7:28
  They don't feel, they don't feel fooled.
• 7:32
  They feel empty. We feel empty.
• 7:33
  So in order to in the in order to feel full, we need some new
• 7:36
  supply. So it has nothing to do with
• 7:38
  you. I know we make it about you.
• 7:40
  We tell you it's your fault. We tell you, hey, you, this is
• 7:43
  not working. This is like we, I don't feel
• 7:45
  the same as I used to, which is true.
• 7:47
  They don't feel the same same way they used to feel about you,
• 7:49
  but they're blaming you for it, right?
• 7:52
  They're blaming you for the love bombing.
• 7:55
  They're they're blaming you for them going and moving on to try
• 7:59
  to find a new supply. They're blaming you for it as
• 8:02
  opposed to taking any type of accountability.
• 8:04
  They put it on to you. So sometimes narcissists will
• 8:06
  love bomb other people just because it feels good to them,
• 8:09
  just because they need new supply, just because like when
• 8:13
  I'm love bombing somebody, outlet me go into my
• 8:15
  narcissistic bag, right? When I'm love bombing someone,
• 8:18
  just think about this right here.
• 8:20
  When I'm love bombing somebody, like I feel good, like I feel
• 8:27
  important. I feel amazing, like I love bomb
• 8:32
  you because you give me supply. You are happy with me, you enjoy
• 8:37
  me, but you, you make me feel good.
• 8:39
  I make you. I want to make you feel good
• 8:41
  because you make me feel good. It's like reciprocating.
• 8:42
  It's reciprocating, right? There's reciprocity in the
• 8:45
  beginning. We both feel good, but then
• 8:48
  boop, it goes away, it turns off, it gets boring, right?
• 8:54
  And then they got they, they go to somebody else.
• 8:56
  They got to go to somebody else and it sucks.
• 9:00
  And then the last thing I talked about today, y'all is one
• 9:02
  another, another point of love bombing, y'all.
• 9:04
  It's sometimes love bombing is just used to make somebody else
• 9:08
  jealous. Like love bombing can absolutely
• 9:11
  be used to make someone else jealous.
• 9:15
  It can. It's just that it like if you
• 9:18
  like when I tell them I'm moving on to the new supply, there's an
• 9:20
  old supply. Like if I have a new supply,
• 9:23
  that means that there was an old supply, correct?
• 9:25
  So think about it from that perspective right there.
• 9:26
  If there's a new supply, then there's also an old supply.
• 9:30
  So the person that I left, I think, yeah, I know I said this
• 9:36
  on my channels before that narcissist live their lives like
• 9:40
  their exes are watching them. Like a narcissist is living
• 9:44
  their life, going about their life, living like, you know,
• 9:47
  thinking, thinking about every single thing.
• 9:49
  They are living their lives like they think their exes are
• 9:53
  watching them. So with that being said, they're
• 9:55
  going to put on a show. They're going to try to make it
• 9:58
  seem like they're like you are worthless.
• 10:01
  So sometimes they're love bombing new people.
• 10:03
  The point of this new love bombing face, yes, I feel good
• 10:06
  from it, but it's also to hurt people in the past to make you
• 10:11
  feel less worthy, to question your own self worth, to make you
• 10:16
  feel bad about how things are going and how the situation is
• 10:20
  transitioned. Like that's the point of some
• 10:22
  narcissist love bombing right there is to just make you feel
• 10:26
  bad is to make the exes question their self worth, is to make the
• 10:30
  exes feel bad about about what's actually going on, how it
• 10:35
  actually ended. So This is why I tell people to
• 10:38
  turn off the narcissist TV if you like.
• 10:41
  Narcissists live their lives like their exes are watching,
• 10:43
  whether or not they are actually watching.
• 10:46
  So if you're watching, you're going to get your feelings hurt.
• 10:49
  You're going to have you're going to feel like you were the
• 10:51
  problem. You're going to feel like all
• 10:52
  this happened because because of you, you're going to feel like
• 10:56
  you're unhappy because of yourself.
• 10:58
  I mean, because of their love by me, somebody else they're
• 11:01
  changing is going to look like they're changing for the new
• 11:04
  person. You're going to feel unhappy
• 11:06
  because of that. It's going to hurt you, and
• 11:08
  that's the point right there. Y'all, The point is to hurt you.
• 11:11
  I know it sounds malicious. I know it sounds dark.
• 11:14
  I know it sounds just horrible, but that's the point.
• 11:16
  Sometimes it's to do to do this stuff to you, to make things
• 11:20
  bad, right? It it, it just it does get to
• 11:23
  the point right there. So I say that to say this, you
• 11:26
  are in control. You can turn off the narcissist
• 11:30
  TV. That's why I called it the
• 11:31
  narcissist TV. And y'all if y'all new here, the
• 11:34
  narcissist TV is when you're watching their social media,
• 11:37
  it's like a reality TV show. They are they in the, in the, in
• 11:41
  this show, on the narcissist TV show, they are the stars and
• 11:45
  they're just trying to act like it.
• 11:46
  You know, reality TV, y'all is reality TV.
• 11:48
  They know a camera's on them. They don't oh, there's cameras
• 11:51
  following me. Follow me.
• 11:52
  Oh, no, like the Kardashian show, they know there's cameras
• 11:55
  there. They, yeah, they reshoot
• 11:58
  intimate family moments. That's weird.
• 12:00
  You know what I mean? So just have the same thought
• 12:04
  process when you're dealing with a narcissist.
• 12:05
  Like, hey, look, this is reality TV.
• 12:08
  This is the show. They're putting on their best
• 12:10
  show. They're putting their best foot
• 12:11
  forward and their best foot just happens to be a peg leg.
• 12:17
  Maybe with y'all. Thank y'all for tuning in.
• 12:19
  Y'all watch out for those love bombers.
• 12:21
  One question you want to ask yourself into to see if this is
• 12:25
  love bombing or not. Ask yourself, is this
• 12:28
  sustainable, right? And ask yourself, is this moving
