Transcript
- 0:00Come on in here, y'all. Come on in here.
- 0:02How do narcissists treat their partners?
- 0:05How do they treat the people that they're supposed to love
- 0:07and care for the most other than their children, right?
- 0:10How do they treat their significant others, their
- 0:12spouses, their fiance's, their boyfriend, girlfriends, husband,
- 0:15wives, partners, whatever, right?
- 0:17How do they treat them? That's what we're talking about
- 0:20today. Y'all if y'all new here, my name
- 0:22is Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist and
- 0:23I've been giving people the perspective of a narcissist for
- 0:26years now. Years.
- 0:28It's crazy how long I've been around now.
- 0:30I was like, I'm a staple in this in the in the niche of
- 0:33narcissism. Now it's been five years.
- 0:37But seriously, how do they treat their partners?
- 0:39And I know what you're going to say.
- 0:41Let me guess what you're going to say first, let me let me let
- 0:43me get into your mind real quick.
- 0:46They treat their partners badly. They treat their partners
- 0:49horrible. They treat their partners
- 0:50terrible. Why?
- 0:50Why are you even making this video?
- 0:52Because that's true most of the time, but not all the time.
- 0:55Y'all, Let's keep it hot, let's keep it ready.
- 0:58They don't always treat their partners badly.
- 1:01It just does not happen that way.
- 1:04Because yeah, think about this. Very rarely do they do you meet
- 1:09somebody on the first date, they scream and cuss you out and
- 1:13y'all end up staying together after that.
- 1:15Very rarely do they show you their true character upfront.
- 1:18Right. So it's going, it's going to
- 1:20make sense, isn't it, That sometimes they're going to treat
- 1:25you good. They that's how they have to
- 1:26get. Yeah, how they how else are they
- 1:28going to get you in a relationship if they're always
- 1:30treating you bad? What sense does that make right
- 1:32there? You know, it doesn't make any
- 1:35sense to me, but they're going to have to treat you good
- 1:38sometimes. They're going to have to do
- 1:40something nice for you sometimes, right?
- 1:42At least in the beginning, right?
- 1:44Right. Narcissists don't always treat
- 1:47their partners bad. And that's the thing right
- 1:49there, right? That's the thing.
- 1:51That's the issue. Sometimes it's because they
- 1:53don't treat their partners badly that I said bad.
- 1:56I said look it, it confuses me y'all.
- 1:58I say badly, I'm like, am I bad? Am I being bad?
- 2:01Badly, bad, Like I'm a dog, right?
- 2:03Badly, bad. But no, no, no, they don't
- 2:08always treat their partners badly because this is how they
- 2:11get you. This is how they keep you there.
- 2:14You know, in the beginning, most times they're going to treat you
- 2:17with some type of respect. They're going to treat you with
- 2:19some type of goodness. They're going to treat you.
- 2:22They're going to do things for you that make you feel good.
- 2:25That's just what they're going to be there for you because you
- 2:28might be going through a vulnerable time period like you
- 2:31might have just you might be going through a break up
- 2:33yourself. You might have, you might be
- 2:34going through some heartbreak right now.
- 2:36You might be sad as hell. You might be crying.
- 2:38Whatever the case may be, this is what's going to happen.
- 2:41This is what happens to so many people, right?
- 2:43Like they're going to get you at a moment in time that you're
- 2:47vulnerable or that you're as lonely.
- 2:49You might be just single and looking.
- 2:50You might meet, you might just meet a friend.
- 2:54This might be a friend of a friend right here that you meet,
- 2:57Right? And this is the type of stuff
- 2:59that happens to so many people. They're not always going to
- 3:01treat you bad, right? They're going to good.
- 3:03Yeah. That's why the love bombing
- 3:05phase exists, right? The love bombing phase.
- 3:09They bomb you with love. They're you.
- 3:12You're hearing some bombs over Baghdad.
- 3:13Back into that. Bombs over Baghdad.
- 3:15This is bombs over empath. Bombs over empath.
- 3:26I'm sorry yeah, y'all know that's why y'all follow me.
- 3:28If you don't follow me, hit the follow button, hit the subscribe
- 3:31button, y'all. But that's why y'all here
- 3:33because you know, you don't know what I'm going to say.
- 3:35I just let my mind just takes me and I just let my mind just
- 3:38takes me and I just start floating away.
- 3:40I just start floating because like yeah, this is this is who I
- 3:43am. I'm just being authentically me
- 3:44and I love the fact that I get to be authentic.
- 3:46You know that's what separates me from most other self aware
- 3:49narcissists because I love the fact that I get to be an
- 3:51authentically me. I love it.
- 3:53I enjoy it every, every second of it.
- 3:56But that's why the love bombing phase exists.
- 3:58They're not going to treat you bad 100% of the time right now.
- 4:06They do treat you bad, right? That's why narcissism is not a
- 4:09that's why it's not a loving, endearing word that you call
- 4:13your partner. That's treating you amazing,
- 4:14right? That's not the like you don't
- 4:19call your loving, endearing, kind, caring, compassionate
- 4:22partner or husband or wife, right or spouse.
- 4:25You don't call them a narcissist.
- 4:27Babe, you've been treating me amazing for the last 10 years
- 4:30like there's been no bad times. You're such a narcissist.
- 4:34You're my narcissist. No, it's a narcissist is a label
- 4:39or tag that gets thrown at people that have been doing bad
- 4:42things, typically right. So they're going to do bad stuff
- 4:47sooner or later when the mask comes off, when the mask drops,
- 4:50they're going to start doing bad things.
- 4:52They just worry how it goes out. And I I cover when the mask
- 4:57drops on my, my video series, my mini course called understanding
- 5:00the seven stages of a narcissistic relationship.
- 5:03You can find that at mentalillness.net or
- 5:05courses.mentalillness.net. Enter code mothers.
- 5:09You get 50% off MOTHERS mothers for the courses and I have other
- 5:16courses on there as well. But that's what goes on these
- 5:20narcissistic people. Sooner or later when a mask
- 5:22comes off, they're going to treat you bad and it's will lay.
- 5:28I know they're going to treat us bad, but is is it intentional?
- 5:32Are they being intentional and deliberate with how they're
- 5:34treating us? Are they being abusive on
- 5:36purpose? Most times, yes, y'all, I know
- 5:39that's not what you want to hear, but most times the abusive
- 5:41behaviors are going to be on purpose.
- 5:43How do you know it's on purpose? Because they can.
- 5:45They don't do it to everybody. They don't do it to everybody,
- 5:51right? They don't do it to everybody.
- 5:53That's how you know it's on purpose.
- 5:55They can control it when they're around, they can control it when
- 5:58they're in front of your friends and family.
- 5:59They can control it when you're in public, but behind closed
- 6:02doors, they can't control all of a sudden.
- 6:03Come on now. They are in control, most of
- 6:06them. Sometimes you got the erratic
- 6:07kind of you got one of them, the dangerous ones and they can they
- 6:14out of control. You guys, you want to escape and
- 6:16stay out of there, right? But this is what so many people
- 6:18go through. Y'all see my brain, my shirt,
- 6:20I'm aware mental illness.net. I got some new stuff coming out
- 6:24to this fire, but it's not the here nor there.
- 6:28A lot of times when you have these narcissistic people that
- 6:32you're dealing with, that you're battling, that you're going back
- 6:34and forth with, they're going to treat you bad.
- 6:37They're going to be neglectful. They're going to make you feel
- 6:40and they're going to invalidate you.
- 6:41Because this is the mentality of narcissistic people, right?
- 6:45They're going to make you feel like you are the problem, like
- 6:48you are the issue. Like somehow, some way, shape or
- 6:50form, it's your fault you being treated this way.
- 6:54Now, if you've cheated on them, hey, they will never forgive
- 6:59you. If you narcissist thinks you
- 7:00cheated on them, they'll never forgive you for thinking that
- 7:02you cheated, right? So that's a whole nother step,
- 7:05the whole nother stage. You got to go down right there.
- 7:07But most narcissist, I'll say this, most narcissistic people,
- 7:11when who you're dealing with, when you're dealing with them
- 7:13like this, this is what they're going to do to you.
- 7:16They're going to keep messing with you.
- 7:17They're going to keep doing this type of stuff because they enjoy
- 7:20it. Most narcissist enjoy this type
- 7:22of stuff. Some of them, but not most of
- 7:24most. Some, some narcissist enjoy
- 7:26doing this type of stuff. So when they're treating you
- 7:28badly and then you might be crying or screaming or begging
- 7:31them to stop, you look at them and they're smirking or they're
- 7:34smiling at you or they're looking at you like this.
- 7:38They like that. I like that.
- 7:41That's from Joker, Batman, Dark Knight.
- 7:44But that's what happens. You're going to like when you're
- 7:47dealing with a narcissistic person, a lot of times it's
- 7:49going to be intentional. Now, even if it's not
- 7:51intentional, but it's consistent.
- 7:53Is that what you want to deal with?
- 7:55Well, how do I know if they're if they're a narcissist or not?
- 7:57It yeah, the word narcissist, does it get thrown around a lot?
- 8:01Yeah. But most time I think rightfully
- 8:04so, it gets it gets launched most times, rightfully so.
- 8:06Sometimes I see it and I'm like, yeah, I don't know about that
- 8:09one. But most time is, is the word
- 8:12narcissist is to help you understand the behavior.
- 8:14It's to clump the behaviors together.
- 8:16But so narcissist or not, ask yourself this question right
- 8:19here. Are you OK with the behaviors?
- 8:22Are you OK with these behaviors? Are you OK with dealing with
- 8:26this person in this way, shape or form?
- 8:27Or is this OK with you because that's important?
- 8:31Are you OK with this? Is this OK with you?
- 8:33Because those are important questions that you're going to
- 8:36have to answer that you're going to face because a lot of
- 8:39narcissistic people, a lot of toxic people, they're going to
- 8:41mess with your head, y'all? That's just the that's the grand
- 8:43scheme of things. They're going to mess with your
- 8:45head. They're going to do a lot of
- 8:46things to mess with you on purpose.
- 8:48So are you if you have narcissist or not, are you OK
- 8:52with the behaviors? Because most people are not OK
- 8:53with the behaviors, but you don't know how to leave that.
- 8:56And that's understandable. Like leaving is a whole
- 8:58different video. Leaving a narcissist is an
- 9:00entirely different video that deserves more than the 3-4
- 9:03minutes I got left on here on this video.
- 9:06But this is what you're going to go through.
- 9:08This is who you're going to face.
- 9:09This is what's going to happen when you are battling A
- 9:12narcissistic person like they're going to treat you badly.
- 9:16But then it doesn't always stay bad.
- 9:18Once they start treating you badly, it doesn't always stay
- 9:21bad. And again, that's where it can
- 9:23be confusing because they're no longer treating you because they
- 9:27treated you badly. They're doing horrible stuff to
- 9:28you. They lying to you, they
- 9:29manipulating you, putting your hands on you, they cheat on you,
- 9:31whatever, right? Then all sudden they start being
- 9:33good. They go through a good phase
- 9:36right after the silent treatment.
- 9:37They're love bombing you again. And then they're grazing out on
- 9:40you. Then they're silent treatment
- 9:41again. Then they're love bombing you
- 9:42again. It's a cycle of narcissistic
- 9:43abuse and most people, from what I've seen, go through more than
- 9:48one cycle of narcissistic abuse in the same relationship.
- 9:52This is what goes on right here. Most people go through more than
- 9:55one cycle. Oh goodness, what the hell just
- 9:57happened? Sorry, I don't know what it is.
- 10:01Hold on, let me stop. Let me stop this real quick.
- 10:07Honestly enough. But I was like, what the hell
- 10:09just happened? Just scared me.
- 10:12Most people go through more than one cycle in the same
- 10:16relationship and it's tough and it's tough to even reconcile
- 10:19with because you're going to go through multiple cycles until
- 10:21you put an end to it. Because narcissistic people, not
- 10:25all of them, typically they're going to come back as many times
- 10:28as you allow them to come back. They're going to allow them.
- 10:31If you allow them to come back into your life and in the way
- 10:34that they want to come back, you're going to, it's going to
- 10:37take a long time to heal. Y'all.
- 10:38I talk to people all the time and I'm going to end it with
- 10:40this right here, y'all. This is my my conclusion, my
- 10:42closing statement right here. I talk to people all the time
- 10:46that are so close to getting out of touch relationship.
- 10:48They're just you got to push through like you probably one or
- 10:52two steps away and then you make one error in judgment.
- 10:55Go back to them, talk to them, hang out with them, break no
- 10:58contact and it cost you years of healing years.
- 11:04It can set you back years. And that's what it's
- 11:08heartbreaking. But I've been having to
- 11:09disconnect 'cause I say I'm the only thing I can do is when I'm
- 11:12doing my one on ones over Zoom and I'm talking to people over
- 11:15Zoom and I'm coaching people over Zoom.
- 11:16I do my support groups, everything's at
- 11:18mentalillness.net. What I'm doing, what I'm talking
- 11:20to people. The only thing I can do is give
- 11:22you all the information that I have.
- 11:24You have to apply it. So I'm talking to people and
- 11:26they're close to getting out of it.
- 11:28And do they make that 1 error that sets them back years?
- 11:32That's heartbreaking y'all. And it can be depressing as hell
- 11:35to the people who are doing it. Like when you make one mistake,
- 11:38break, break no contact, you give up, you go sleep with them,
- 11:41you do something, you do something like it can cost you
- 11:43years and that it ain't worth it.
- 11:49It ain't worth it. So when you leave in touch
- 11:51relationships, you need to have discipline.
- 11:53You have to have discipline. It is Discipline is a non
- 11:56negotiable prerequisite to healing from narcissistic abuse.
- 12:00You absolutely need this. You absolutely have to have it.
- 12:04You cannot. Just like I'm going to be
- 12:06disciplined sometimes and other times I'm going to give them
- 12:08accent that y'all, I want you and y'all can feel here.
- 12:11You can't hear the passion of my voice right now.
- 12:13I don't know what to tell you. I want y'all to win, but I
- 12:15cannot want you to win more than you want yourself to win.
- 12:19So when you, if you don't want to win, you go back to them and
- 12:21you lose over and over again and your kids are watching your kids
- 12:24watching you be unhappy. Your kids are watching you give
- 12:26it up. Your kids are watching you go
- 12:27back and forth to toxicity. This is why I'm just like I want
- 12:31y'all to win my camera. Don't want y'all to win my
- 12:37camera, don't want y'all to win my camera.
- 12:38Like cut it off anyways, y'all. Discipline.
- 12:43I'm working on my new course. How to leave a narcissist.
