- 0:02Welcome to another episode of the narcissist Code.
- 0:04I'm your favorite self aware narcissist.
- 0:07Mr. Lee Hammock better known as mental illness across all social
- 0:10media platforms. This your first time seeing my
- 0:12face or hearing my lovely voice. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:14narcissist and I use my platform to raise awareness for NPD, get
- 0:18more people into therapy and also validate the victim,
- 0:21survivors and thrivers. Thrivers of said disorder said.
- 0:24Toxic people said toxic traits. Today's episode is going to be
- 0:27about what happens when if you confront A narcissist.
- 0:33Confronting a narcissist or a toxic person, Very toxic person.
- 0:38Before we hop into today's episode, y'all make sure you if
- 0:40you haven't already, subscribed to the to my newsletter slash
- 0:44e-mail list so you don't miss out on anything.
- 0:46The link is in the description of every video and podcast that
- 0:49I do. Check.
- 0:50Click below. But yeah, y'all confronting A
- 0:53narcissist or a toxic person is, you know, what happens, What
- 0:57could happen? What do you what to look out for
- 1:00things of the nature. So first of all, this is from
- 1:02the perspective of a diagnosed narcissist.
- 1:04So ask yourself this question right here first.
- 1:07This is the question you have to ask yourself before anything.
- 1:11How are you going to do it? If you like, for it's to me.
- 1:14To me. To me, it really depends on if
- 1:17you even feel like you really need to do it.
- 1:19Because if you don't feel like you need to confront them, just
- 1:22take whatever information that you have on them and act on it.
- 1:26You know what I'm saying? Whatever information that you
- 1:28have on this person, just act on it.
- 1:33Just act on it. Then this me being realistic,
- 1:34that's just whatever information you have, just go ahead and act
- 1:39on it. Because if you don't act on it
- 1:41like like you don't need to confront them always.
- 1:44You can just act on it. If you catch them cheating, if
- 1:46you catch them lying, you catch them stealing money, whatever.
- 1:48If you can act on it before you confront them, do that.
- 1:52Because a lot of times y'all these, that type of person that
- 1:55you're dealing with, that narcissistic, toxic person can
- 1:57get very dangerous if you confront them.
- 1:59Because what's going through my mind as a narcissist if you
- 2:02first of all, if you give me a signal, yeah, I'm very
- 2:05intuitive. So if you give me a signal, just
- 2:07say, hey, hey, we need to talk later.
- 2:09I'm already my mind is already wondering like what the hell do
- 2:11you know. My mind is already going to that
- 2:15point. Like what do you know right now
- 2:18what what is going on? I'm already thinking about I'm
- 2:20already thinking about what I have done.
- 2:22You see what I'm saying? I'm already thinking about what
- 2:24have I done for you to say this What what is what could it
- 2:27possibly what possibly could it be that we need to talk about?
- 2:31You know? I mean, so I'm already thinking
- 2:34about what I have already done. So if you give me a warning,
- 2:37like we need to talk later or can you meet me here?
- 2:40Whatever it is, I'm already in my mind.
- 2:43So what happened to you? Confronted Narcis?
- 2:44If you give them a heads up, they're going to the and you
- 2:48like. If you give them a heads up,
- 2:50they have time to prepare. You see what I'm saying?
- 2:54They have time to prepare for when you come, when you confront
- 2:57them or whatever information that you have they have time to
- 3:00prep for. So if you if they have, if they
- 3:02don't think that you would find out or they don't think that you
- 3:05would know, they might not be prepared to lie or to shift or
- 3:08to blame you or whatever. But if you give them a heads up,
- 3:11like if you give me a heads up and say, hey, we need to talk
- 3:14later, hey be here. And it's not like my mind is
- 3:16already wondering like, OK, what do you know?
- 3:20And I'm thinking about all this stuff that you could hold
- 3:22against me. And I'm focusing on making
- 3:24excuses for every one of them. Now, see, now I have a, now I
- 3:27have a. It's like it's it's like giving
- 3:29me a study guide for a test. It's like telling.
- 3:31It's like letting me know that there's like most of everybody's
- 3:34been to school, most of everybody.
- 3:38It's like letting me know that there's a pop quiz like you in
- 3:41school, like teachers like pop quiz everybody.
- 3:43You just let me know that there's a pop quiz coming up.
- 3:47That's what you just did. If you let because you let me
- 3:49know that there's something going on and now I know there's
- 3:51a pop quiz coming. You gave me a heads up that the
- 3:54pop quiz is coming and it's and what classes then?
- 3:57Like, I only have a certain amount of classes, so I'm
- 3:59already thinking about the bad stuff that I've done, right?
- 4:01I'm already there. So my mind is wondering all the
- 4:05stuff that I've done. So now I have excuses coming up.
- 4:07Now I have. Now I have time to think.
- 4:09You may some narcissism have already thought about lies and
- 4:11excuses. Some of them, some of them think
- 4:13that they're smarter than you and don't think that you ever
- 4:15find out what they've done. But a lot of them, y'all are
- 4:19now. You gave them prep time.
- 4:20Now I have prep time. I'm ready now.
- 4:22Hey, come on. Get it.
- 4:23Bring, bring it, bring it on. You may.
- 4:25It's get to the point where you you they want you.
- 4:27They want you to bring it on. Give me the heat.
- 4:30Give all the people. People say.
- 4:31Give me the smoke. You ain't bring me to smoke or
- 4:33whatever it is that happens so much out.
- 4:36That's why I tell people all the time, like in these spaces, in
- 4:39this mindset, that's what's going to happen.
- 4:40You don't need to warn them that you're going to, that you need
- 4:42to talk. If y'all live together, of
- 4:44course you might need to. If y'all live together, you
- 4:46definitely don't need to do it. But if y'all, if you have to get
- 4:48them to meet you somewhere, you might not want to warn them that
- 4:51you have a conference, that you need to tell them something like
- 4:54and don't give them, don't give them things like that.
- 4:57That's what I just said. I just just be prepared because
- 5:00a lot of times narcissistic, toxic people will do that type
- 5:03of stuff. You mean they just will.
- 5:05That's what. That's how the mind goes.
- 5:07That's literally how it goes. So you have to be prepared to
- 5:11move to make, to make, to make moves to shift when you're
- 5:14dealing with narcissistic people.
- 5:16That's that's just how it goes though.
- 5:17Y'all. And I tell it to people all the
- 5:18time. Like, you got to be prepared to
- 5:20pivot. So if you do confront that
- 5:23narcissistic person, y'all that's when you got to get
- 5:26ready. That's when you got to get ready
- 5:28and prepare it. Because that narcissistic, toxic
- 5:30person is going to they're going to do something to you.
- 5:34Like if you confront A narcissist, what happens when
- 5:36you confront them If they're not ready or if they are ready, the
- 5:39only thing that they can do to you is probably get angry at
- 5:43you. Like I said, the only thing they
- 5:44can do to you. Very rarely will they admit
- 5:46fault or admit guilt or whatever you want to say.
- 5:49But most times, y'all, they're going to blame you for it.
- 5:52Somehow, some way, shape or form is going to be your father if
- 5:55you confront me, whatever you confront me about, they, I'm
- 6:00sorry. They can get super angry when
- 6:02you confront them. They can get super angry.
- 6:04They become super aggressive towards you.
- 6:06They can put their hands on you. And depending on the severity of
- 6:08what you confront them with, they might try to end your life.
- 6:12I don't want to get, I don't want to get super dark with it.
- 6:14But yeah, some of them might try to end your life when you
- 6:16confront them, when you confront them, and like, when you
- 6:19confront A narcissist, you would pretty much bring in shame.
- 6:23It's like you're not walking in the door by yourself.
- 6:26You got shame with you, and shame is so big.
- 6:29Shame has to duck. Shame has to get on his belly
- 6:32and crawl into the house. Shame has to.
- 6:35Shame is so big and tall and strong.
- 6:37He has to turn side or turn on, turn on its side or lay on his
- 6:40belly and slide into the house. He can't stand up.
- 6:42It's so big and it's this monstrous damn being behind
- 6:46saying them, behind you. So narcissistic people are
- 6:48afraid of shame and shame is going to beat them down.
- 6:51They don't want to feel that shame because shame is painful.
- 6:53So you confront them. Shame is doing the talking for
- 6:56you. You see what I'm saying?
- 6:57Shame is already in that narcissist ear saying, hey, you
- 7:00never be good enough. Told you you were stupid.
- 7:02Told you were going to get caught.
- 7:03Now your life is over. Now you're going to get exposed.
- 7:05Now this is going to happen. Like I'm telling you, when you
- 7:08confront them, you have to be careful if you have to.
- 7:11If you feel like you need to confront them, you know what I
- 7:13mean? Be careful.
- 7:14I say you always use discretion. But if you feel like you need to
- 7:16confront them, just be prepared for the the blowback very rarely
- 7:20or they going to be just like you know, just OK, you're right,
- 7:23I'm so sorry, I'll change it. Very rarely does it happen
- 7:26sometimes, but very rarely does it happen.
- 7:29A lot of times they going to yell and scream at you.
- 7:31A lot of times they going to blame you for however, however
- 7:34you found out. However, wherever you got the
- 7:36information from, they're going to blame you for taking using
- 7:39that method to get the information they're going to.
- 7:42You may somehow, like I said earlier, they might yell and
- 7:44scream and hit you, whatever they might put it onto you.
- 7:48Blame your friends and family, blame their friends and family,
- 7:51try to get you to feel sorry for it.
- 7:52They might try to get you. They might try to guilt trip
- 7:54you. Y'all.
- 7:54They might try to make you feel guilty about holding them
- 7:57accountable. They might start crying and
- 7:58begging and pleading, faking like they need to go to the
- 8:00hospital. Something along those lines,
- 8:03y'all. They might very well do that.
- 8:06That's how it goes though. Y'all, in a lot of these times,
- 8:08in a lot of these situations, that's literally how it goes.
- 8:11That's why I just tell people like, you have to prepare for
- 8:14that. Because narcissistic, toxic
- 8:16people are going, y'all, they're going to shake it up.
- 8:18They're going to do toxic things to you.
- 8:20Like another thing, like not all narcissists yelling at scream.
- 8:23I know everybody. Some people are going like,
- 8:25well, leave. My narcissistic partner doesn't
- 8:27yell at me. My, my parent.
- 8:29It doesn't have to be a partner. It could be a parent, it could
- 8:31be a brother or sister, it could be a sibling, it could be a
- 8:33friend. Whoever you're confronting.
- 8:34Y'all, everybody doesn't yell at you.
- 8:37Every narcissistic person doesn't yell.
- 8:41Some of them might give you the silent treatment.
- 8:42Some of them might just be like, look you directly to your face
- 8:45and act like you pretend you don't exist.
- 8:46They don't. They won't talk to you.
- 8:48They'll Stonewall, Stonewall you and act like you don't exist.
- 8:51They absolutely will, you know. They'll act like you don't
- 8:54exist. They'll leave you.
- 8:55They'll give you the silent treatment.
- 8:56They'll threaten to leave you. You know what I mean?
- 8:58They'll walk away from you and they'll talk to you.
- 9:00They'll pretend like nothing happened.
- 9:01They'll just ignore you. That happens all the time.
- 9:04Y'all It really, really does. You know what I mean?
- 9:08It really does. And that's the mind.
- 9:10That's how the mind of a narcissistic person works, that
- 9:12some of them will shut down. Not everybody attacks.
- 9:15Some people shut down. You might shut down, but it
- 9:18doesn't make you a narcissistic. You shut down.
- 9:19Y'all when you confront it. But yeah, narcissists will very
- 9:22rarely tell you the truth. They just want things to go back
- 9:25to normal. They want things to go back to
- 9:26normal. They want things in normal.
- 9:28It's typically abusive. You see how it works?
- 9:31Normal is typically abusive. Normal is typically doing things
- 9:34behind your back that you don't find out.
- 9:36That's what normal looks like to a lot.
- 9:38To most narcissists, y'all Normal is not just like everyday
- 9:41in and out. Y'all doing this type of stuff.
- 9:43Normal is abusive. Normal is toxic.
- 9:46But you might not know how toxic it is and how abusive it is.
- 9:49Abusive it is. But now you do you see what I'm
- 9:53saying? So if you confront A narcissist,
- 9:55just be prepared because not all narcissists are going to react
- 9:58the same. Some of them will absolutely
- 9:59come after you, you know, I'm not trying to scare you.
- 10:02It just some of them. If you confront them they will
- 10:07got an e-mail come through. If you confront them they will
- 10:09like said just react negatively. They will threaten to expose
- 10:12you. They might start a smear
- 10:14campaign on you. The mind of a narcissist.
- 10:16Like I say, if they don't have any prep, the more prep time you
- 10:19give them the probably the the Wilder.
- 10:21The excuses are going to be the Wilder, The lies are going to be
- 10:24the Wilder, the whatever they're going to be saying to you is
- 10:27going to be pretty damn wild. Y'all.
- 10:28So that's what I'm just telling you.
- 10:29Like you don't always need to. Like, I know a lot of people
- 10:32confront them. Ask yourself, why are you
- 10:34confronting them? Do you want a confession?
- 10:36Because if you if as a narcissist myself, if you
- 10:38confront me, I don't like, I don't my mind, I'm afraid that
- 10:42you're going to leave me. But I I don't think you're going
- 10:44to leave me. You know what I'm saying?
- 10:45If you confront me with this information you could have just
- 10:47left, I'm like, damn, they could have just left.
- 10:49But they're talking to me. So I have a chance here.
- 10:51I just have to play my. I just had to play my cards
- 10:54correctly. So if you confront me, I don't
- 10:56think you're going to leave me. If you confront me, I think, I
- 10:59think I have a shot of of of fighting chance.
- 11:01If I don't admit to it, it doesn't even matter.
- 11:04Yo, it doesn't even matter. It doesn't even matter.
- 11:07Listen to me. It doesn't matter what you
- 11:10think. It doesn't matter.
- 11:11Y'all It doesn't matter what I've done.
- 11:13It doesn't matter As long as I don't need to confess.
- 11:16Whatever. It doesn't matter what proof you
- 11:18have. I don't confess.
- 11:19If I don't confess, it's like I didn't do it.
- 11:22Especially if you don't leave. If you confront me and you don't
- 11:24leave, or if you leave and you come back, you lose.
- 11:28You confront me and you come back.
- 11:29That's like you forgiving me. So what happens when you
- 11:32confront A Narciss? A plethora of things can happen.
- 11:34You just need to be ready to pivot.
- 11:36Just act on it, y'all. Just act on it.
- 11:40Act on the information that you have at hand.
- 11:43And that way it allows you to keep working, that allows you to
- 11:45keep moving forward. That way it allows you to be
- 11:47safe and to be secure and things of that nature.
- 11:50You know what I mean? Just be prepared for y'all.
- 11:52Be prepared to shift. Be prepared to move forward.
- 11:55Be prepared for a lot of different things.
- 11:57This is, ask yourself, why am I confronting this person?
- 12:00Do I need to confront them? Do I need to confront them?
- 12:02Because a lot of a lot of people, a lot of y'all.
- 12:04I can say y'all because it's not a bad thing.
- 12:05A lot of y'all want to confront them.
- 12:07Because you want to know that you matter, right?
- 12:09You want to know that you matter.
- 12:10You want to know that you meant something.
- 12:11You want to know. So it's just like take take the
- 12:14necessary steps in the right direction to power up to be
- 12:16safe, you know, power up, be safe.
