- 0:00All right, y'all, So what happens when you tell a
- 0:02narcissist about your past? And not even when you confess,
- 0:11but when you're just being real with a narcissistic person and
- 0:14you decide that you want to tell them about your past?
- 0:16Like you're getting close to them and you share some of your
- 0:19deepest, darkest secrets with this person.
- 0:23Like what? What happens?
- 0:23What, what happens next when you share this type of stuff with
- 0:27this person? I'll give some of y'all a guess.
- 0:31What do you think happens next when you share this, when you
- 0:33share this type of stuff with a narcissistic person And today's
- 0:36mic holder is a red flag. I actually got a red flag to
- 0:41hold the mic today. But yes, a lot of times when
- 0:45you're dealing with narcissistic people will you share your past,
- 0:50good past bad past traumatic past relationship past happy
- 0:55past, sad past. Anything that you share with a
- 0:59narcissist can and will be used against you in a court of
- 1:03narcissism, in a court of narcissistic law.
- 1:06Anything you share can and will be used against you.
- 1:10Anything, anything will be brought up in an argument later
- 1:15on. Right now, at the beginning,
- 1:17when you share your past with the narcissist, like when you if
- 1:20you decide when you get in to know is this person and you
- 1:22share your past with them, a lot of times what will happen is
- 1:26they will, you know, they will reciprocate.
- 1:28They'll share something of their about their past with you.
- 1:31You don't mean they'll share something, some type of hurtful
- 1:34anecdote or something that they themselves have went through
- 1:36their shit. They will share something with
- 1:38you or they'll they'll feign some level of empathy.
- 1:43They'll be like, Oh my goodness, can't be a leave.
- 1:44You went through that. OK, you said that, but later on
- 1:50the same thing in the beginning that they, they, they feel sorry
- 1:53for you for or they feel bad about Later on they'll throw it
- 1:56in your face. Let's just say you got whoopings
- 2:00when you were a kid and you hated it.
- 2:02You know whooping weapons now looked at looked at as child
- 2:04abuse, right? So let's say you got whoopings
- 2:06as a kid and you hated it, right?
- 2:09And you told your narcissistic partner this.
- 2:12I hated the fact I got whoopings as a kid.
- 2:14I'm still traumatized from it. One day you're arguing with them
- 2:18*** what happens? That's why your mom used to beat
- 2:21your ass when you was little. That's when your daddy used to
- 2:23beat that beat your ass in a little.
- 2:25I see why you got that belt. I see why they use that switch.
- 2:28I see why they use that plastic wiffle ball bat.
- 2:30And the bat used to whistle right before he hit you across
- 2:33your back. Woo bat, woo bat, woo bat.
- 2:40That wiffle bat was wiffling when he was tagging your ass.
- 2:43And you deserve every bit of it 'cause you're a horrible person
- 2:47and the crazy money is y'all. When they throw your past in
- 2:49your in, they throw your past in your face.
- 2:52A lot of times out they're doing it because like you try to hold
- 2:55them accountable for something. Like you haven't tried to throw
- 2:58their past in their face. They're just trying to hold you
- 3:01accountable or be angry at you because you, because something
- 3:05happened right here. Like you didn't throw their pass
- 3:06in their face. Like you might have caught them
- 3:08in the ACT, caught them lying, caught them cheating, caught
- 3:11them being manipulative or something like that, right?
- 3:13But now because they're angry with you, they'll tell you that
- 3:15they'll use your past against you as a weapon.
- 3:18Your deepest, darkest secrets are, are now and will now be
- 3:24weaponized against you. And this is what you're going to
- 3:26have to deal with right here. They will use your deepest,
- 3:30darkest secrets as a weapon against you.
- 3:34They absolutely will. What?
- 3:36Whatever you've been through, the pain you've experienced,
- 3:38that type of stuff right there, they absolutely will use it
- 3:42against you. The abuse will not stop.
- 3:45The abuse will typically get worse.
- 3:47And they'll throw it in your face in your moments of
- 3:49vulnerability when you need a helping hand.
- 3:52They will not. Instead of reaching, giving a
- 3:54helping hand, they'll give you a clenched fist.
- 3:59Maybe not a clenched, a physical clenched fist, but a
- 4:01metaphorical, metaphorical clenched fist.
- 4:04Nonetheless. You won't get a helping hand in
- 4:07return because narcissistic people, a lot of them, a lot of
- 4:10us lack empathy, right? So instead of being there for
- 4:13you when you need us, they'll throw something in your face,
- 4:15tell you to deserve it. You deserve what you went
- 4:17through. The reason that you're crying,
- 4:19why you crying right now? You fake crying, you faking
- 4:21tears like this. You you're you're only getting
- 4:24what you deserve. Like everything that's happening
- 4:27to you right now, everything that you're going through, you
- 4:29deserve it to happen to you because you're a horrible human
- 4:31being. Because Ribble rabble rabble,
- 4:32blah, blah blah, Boo Boo Boo BB. So anything.
- 4:35So this is what I tell people. Make people earn your
- 4:37information. I know some of y'all are free
- 4:40spirits. You like to over share.
- 4:42Usually I'm just a sharing person.
- 4:44I just like to share, share, share.
- 4:45Be careful with what you share. Yeah.
- 4:48Untethered empathy. Untethered compassion will be
- 4:52used against you by narcissistic people because a lot of
- 4:55narcissists, we are like we, we make it seem like we are just
- 4:57easy to talk to, just easy to chat with, right, easy to
- 5:01converse with. We're, we're, you get, so
- 5:03everything is so easy to talk to and converse with and all that
- 5:06other stuff. It's we, we get to that point
- 5:09right there where you trust us. So you share all your
- 5:11information with us. And when you share with us,
- 5:14you'll be thrown in your face. You won't just be thrown in your
- 5:17face one time. You'll be thrown in your face
- 5:19repeatedly, like they'll throw it in your face, right?
- 5:22They'll use it against you and then you and they'll say, I
- 5:25promise I'll never do it again. And guess what?
- 5:26They'll do it again and they'll do it again and again and again
- 5:29because it works. Because they know if they bring
- 5:31up your grandma who you love dearly that passed away, they'll
- 5:34know. They know that it hurts your
- 5:35feelings. So they'll use it to get out of
- 5:38something like if you are trying to hold them accountable for
- 5:41something that they have actually done.
- 5:43If you just talking to them about something that they have
- 5:46actually did, they still will try to use your past against you
- 5:50to justify something that they have done to you right now,
- 5:53including and not limited to the past before you even met even
- 5:59met them. You heard it the past.
- 6:02But your relationship past before you even met them will be
- 6:07used against you. It absolutely will.
- 6:09That's one of the things that happens to so many people.
- 6:11Your relationship past can and will be weaponized against you.
- 6:15This happens to people all the time.
- 6:17Like if you dated somebody that they know you've had you see
- 6:19what I'm saying? You've dated quite a few people
- 6:21and they don't like that they will use it against you all the
- 6:23time. I only I cheated on you because
- 6:25you were with 15 people before we dated.
- 6:27What? I cheated on you because you
- 6:30You, you. You.
- 6:31You. You.
- 6:32You dated somebody before me? What?
- 6:35I just felt super insecure because you because you had
- 6:38boyfriends before me, and I don't know how to get handle it.
- 6:40So I started cheating. What?
- 6:43Did you have girlfriends before me?
- 6:44Yeah, but that's beside the point.
- 6:47Or the my my personal favorite is y'all, we all break up or
- 6:51y'all take a break and then you end up trying to move on.
- 6:54Like you y'all take a break when y'all break up with no intent on
- 6:57getting back together and you try to move on and somehow y'all
- 7:00do in the back together and they will call you a cheater.
- 7:03So your relationships, doing y'all's breakups count as
- 7:06cheating to narcissistic people. Because now again, that's the
- 7:09past, right? But I just what I said earlier,
- 7:11that's the past. You know, the past is relevant
- 7:15in these situations. You're dealing with a
- 7:16manipulative, A manipulative narcissist.
- 7:18The past becomes so relevant in these scenarios, in these
- 7:21situations, it absolutely does. So that's something that you
- 7:24absolutely need to be thinking about it.
- 7:26It needs to be this needs to be rattling around in that little
- 7:29empathetic head of yours that make sure that you are making
- 7:32people earn the information that you're sharing with them.
- 7:35And also make sure that they're they're sharing or reciprocating
- 7:38information back. Because what happens to a lot of
- 7:41people is that like you end up over sharing and they don't
- 7:44share anything. So down there, you down there
- 7:46talking to yourself, like you end up over sharing with this
- 7:49person and they just they don't share anything with you.
- 7:51You like, Hey, I've just shared some trauma with you.
- 7:54You got, you got, I just shared a little bit of trauma with you.
- 7:57You want to share something with me, please.
- 8:00Oh, no, I, I just, I'm not ready to do that yet yet.
- 8:03But thanks for sharing yours. I promise you I won't use it
- 8:05against you. You see that's what happens.
- 8:11I know some of y'all will hear that just like damn it leave.
- 8:13This video was four years too late or two months too late.
- 8:16I told him about my dad leaving and he used it against me.
- 8:19He made me feel like a horrible person.
- 8:21I told I told her that my mom abandoned me and every time we
- 8:25get the arguing and talking and we get the arguing she brings up
- 8:29my mom. She's keeps He keeps talking
- 8:30about my mommy issues and said I'll never be healed and I need
- 8:34to grow up and stop and just move past my mommy issues or
- 8:38I'll never be a happy happy man. Whatever it is you see it can
- 8:43and will be used against you no matter how small it is.
- 8:45Y'all anything that you've done small in the past can be used
- 8:49against you. Again, this could be before the
- 8:52relationship started before before you even met this.
- 8:57Not just the relationship starting before you even met
- 9:00this person, it could absolutely be going that way before you
- 9:04even met this narcissistic person.
- 9:07They can absolutely use the stuff that happened to you
- 9:09before against you later on. And that's the mindset of
- 9:13narcissistic people. They always feel like everything
- 9:16is free game to them. Everything can will be used
- 9:18against you. And This is why it's so
- 9:20important to guard your information damn near with your
- 9:23life y'all. Because if you don't guard your
- 9:25information with your life, I'm telling you that narcissistic
- 9:27person, they going to take everything, everything that they
- 9:29learned about you, they're going to weaponize it against you and
- 9:32they're going to be keep being completely abusive and oblivious
- 9:35to you. Everything that you say and do
- 9:38to this person will be used against you.
- 9:39Every single thing. I promise you, no stone will be
- 9:42left unturned. You're giving them more
- 9:44information to hurt you with. Of course, in a healthy happy
- 9:47relationship, you can share past traumas, you can share things
- 9:51that have happened to you. They can share.
- 9:52Y'all can go back and forth playing trauma tennis, right?
- 9:55Trauma table tennis. Y'all smacking y'all sharing
- 9:58trauma back and forth you back, you backhanded trauma to them.
- 10:01These 4 they forward smashing it, but you have to be careful
- 10:05with narcissistic people because they can and will be using it
- 10:08will be used against you and the crazy about it is y'all, they'll
- 10:11do something horrible to you, right?
- 10:13They'll throw something in your face that you prom that they
- 10:16that they promised never to bring up again.
- 10:18They will literally throw something in your face and then
- 10:21they'll throw something in your face, right?
- 10:24And then when you refuse to share future things with them,
- 10:27they'll say that. They'll say you don't trust me.
- 10:30That's why we'll never work out because you don't trust me.
- 10:32And then we, we never going to work out because you don't even
- 10:35because you don't think about how we got here in the 1st
- 10:37place. Like you don't take
- 10:38accountability, but how we got here in the 1st place.
- 10:39Nothing doesn't work like it's your fault.
- 10:41We not as close as we used to be a we, things are not working
- 10:44out. It's your fault.
- 10:44It's your fault, it's your fault.
- 10:46They will almost always try to find a way to blame you for
- 10:48everything that's going on. Y'all it's like I'm telling you
- 10:51it literally is like clockwork. They will always use your past
- 10:55against you. That's why it's important to
- 10:56keep your past close to the cuff.
- 10:58If you have issues and whatnot, you always talk to a therapist.
- 11:01Try to find a good therapist to talk to you your past about.
- 11:03If you're dealing with a past a narcissist.
