- 0:04I'm your favorite self aware narcissist Mr. Lee Hammock
- 0:08better known as mental illness across all social media
- 0:10platforms. This your first time seeing my
- 0:12face or hearing my lovely voice. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:15narcissist and I use my platform on social media to raise
- 0:18awareness for NPD. Get more people into therapy and
- 0:20also validate the victims, survivors and thrivers of said
- 0:24disorder. Said toxic people said toxic
- 0:26traits. Today's episode is going to be
- 0:28about how some narcissists use your own ego against you.
- 0:34Your own ego. Your ego.
- 0:36Yeah, you got an ego too. It's not just about narcissists
- 0:38and there be egos before. Before we hop into today's
- 0:43episode, Y'all if you haven't already, make sure that you
- 0:45subscribe to my my newsletter, my e-mail list because I have a
- 0:49kids book coming out. We're working on it.
- 0:50Releasing that next week. The kids book is coming out next
- 0:53week. Oh, I'm so excited.
- 0:55Has some other stuff coming out as well.
- 0:57Have a self love course. Got a few different things on
- 0:59working on as well. Link is in the description of
- 1:02every single video and podcast that I do.
- 1:05But yeah, y'all your ego. Your ego can be used against you
- 1:10because like, yeah, yes, narcissists have huge inflated
- 1:14egos. We just do.
- 1:16Yeah, we were super. We can be super egotistical
- 1:19people. But just because a narcissist
- 1:22has an ego does not mean the victim, survivor, Thriver does
- 1:27not have one, does not have one. You also have an ego.
- 1:30And this is not me trying to make it seem like you are a bad
- 1:32person. Everybody has an ego.
- 1:36Big, small, you know, big or small, happy, sad, you know what
- 1:40I mean? Everybody has an ego.
- 1:44An ego is like the definition of ego on Google says a person's
- 1:48sense of self esteem or self importance.
- 1:51And narcissists have an inflated sense of self esteem, an
- 1:55inflated sense of self importance.
- 1:58Inflated doesn't mean it's real. Narcissist, self esteem or self
- 2:02importance is inflated, doesn't mean it's real.
- 2:05Yours is real. You have a sense of self
- 2:08importance. You have a sense of you have
- 2:10self esteem. Narcissistic people tend to
- 2:13snatch that away from you. It's like the battle of the egos
- 2:16and my ego is so big and so inflated.
- 2:19I want to stomp yours out. They will weaponize your ego
- 2:22against you. They will make you.
- 2:23They will take your self esteem from you.
- 2:25They will crush your ego. My ego is so it's like I'm it's
- 2:28like a big a big a big balloon y'all and I'm caught.
- 2:33My ego is a big balloon and I'm constantly feeling it full of
- 2:36air. Your ego is nice size.
- 2:38I'm mine is about the bust. You ever seen the balloon there
- 2:41like if you if you touch it it's a pop.
- 2:44That's how. So you know how you see how you
- 2:46see one of the big muscle head people with a shirt on that's
- 2:50six sizes too small and the buttons are hanging them by a
- 2:52thread and like if you plug it, it'll pop.
- 2:54That's the narcissist ego right there.
- 2:56It's so big and so inflated that if you plug it, it'll pop yours.
- 3:01It fits just right. Your ego is a form fitting
- 3:04shirt. Your ego has been custom made
- 3:06for you. Mine is way too big for me, you
- 3:09know what I'm saying? Mine is I you.
- 3:12You deserve your ego. I don't deserve mine, you don't
- 3:15mean. So if you're dealing with a
- 3:16narcissistic person, y'all be like they take your their ego is
- 3:21just going to dwarf yours. A lot of times their ego is
- 3:23going to dwarf yours and they're going to make you question
- 3:25yourself as they're going to make you feel bad about
- 3:27yourself. The people that and this will
- 3:30happen. This is what I consistently hear
- 3:32when I'm doing my one O ones over zoom what I still do.
- 3:34Y'all have a group coaching and stuff like that as well.
- 3:37Coming up at mentalillness.net, check out mental illness.net for
- 3:40my one O ones and my group coaching and my workshops and
- 3:43stuff I have coming up like that.
- 3:46But your ego absolutely can be weaponized against you.
- 3:50You're like my ego is so big, it's like stomps yours out,
- 3:54right. They take away their selfish
- 3:56thing like the people like one of the remember one.
- 3:58One of the things I hear from a lot of people is a like the
- 4:01person they left me for or the person they cheated on me with
- 4:04is of left less quality than I am.
- 4:07They're bigger, they're smaller, they're less educated, they have
- 4:09less money. They ball headed, they short
- 4:12they tall, they overweight, they're underweight.
- 4:15You see what I'm saying? They didn't got, they broke,
- 4:17they don't have. There's always something that
- 4:18makes your eager, that hurts your ego, that hurts your
- 4:22estate. Estate that hurts your
- 4:23selfimportance. You see what I'm saying?
- 4:26And narcissistic people have become masters of weaponizing
- 4:29that against you. Because if I leave you for
- 4:32somebody of less quality, Y'all's words, not mine
- 4:34sometimes. You know what I mean?
- 4:37The person they left me for is so unattractive, they downgrade.
- 4:40That's that's what they right there.
- 4:41That's the word right there. That's the word I was looking
- 4:43for. They downgraded the the new
- 4:46supply is a big downgrade from me.
- 4:50The new person is the new. The new supply is a new is a
- 4:54downgrade for me. So that hurts your ego.
- 4:57How? What is it about?
- 4:58It makes you start questioning yourself.
- 5:00What is it about me that I look like this?
- 5:04I have this that you left me for that.
- 5:08So guess what happens? Y'all you want your you want
- 5:11your ego back, right? You want your self esteem back.
- 5:13You want your importance back. So guess what?
- 5:16You take me back when I want to come back.
- 5:20You tried to take me from the new supply.
- 5:23You allow yourself to be triangulated.
- 5:24You reverse the reverse Hoover. This is when the reverse Hoover
- 5:28comes in right here. Y'all.
- 5:29You Hoover yourself if I downgrade your words.
- 5:32Not mine. If I downgrade my new supply,
- 5:36you might want me back. You see what I'm saying?
- 5:40I I downgraded. Right.
- 5:42So you are upgraded. So you like?
- 5:44Oh, no. You you and your feelings are
- 5:46hurt. Your ego is hurt.
- 5:48I my my big my big huge, inflated, fractured ego hurt
- 5:53yours. You see what I'm saying?
- 5:54But now you Hoover yourself back into the relationship.
- 5:57You reach out to me. You ask me what I'm going to
- 6:01talk about pain shopping later, but in the in a different
- 6:04episode, you go pain shopping. You asking me questions that you
- 6:07really don't want to know the answer to.
- 6:09You like What did they have that I don't have?
- 6:12What did they provide you that I didn't provide you?
- 6:14What am I lacking? You see what I'm saying?
- 6:16I hurt your ears. I weaponized it against you.
- 6:19And now you're reaching out to me to reverse Hoover yourself.
- 6:22And I can lie to you now. You've opened yourself up to be
- 6:24lied to because your ego was hurt.
- 6:27You've opened yourself up to be lied to and reverse Hoover
- 6:30because you reached out to me. I'm like.
- 6:31Look, it's not. I still love and care about you.
- 6:33I don't. What What did I do?
- 6:35I don't know why I did this. I really don't know why I'd be
- 6:38making mistakes like that. I can't.
- 6:39I I hate myself sometimes. When?
- 6:41The stuff, the stuff that I put you through, I ain't really hate
- 6:43it. I hate the stuff that I put you
- 6:45through because it makes me feel horrible too.
- 6:47You see what I'm saying? They will center themselves in
- 6:51your pain. They will center themselves in
- 6:54your suffering. They will center themselves in
- 6:56your, I say, just in your life overall.
- 6:58That's the part. That's the part about being with
- 7:00a toxic, narcissistic person. Y'all this is how it's going to
- 7:03go. They will send to your
- 7:05themselves in your life, in your healing, in all types of stuff.
- 7:09Y'all this is part of it. You had this something you that
- 7:13sometimes that's how you would you have to be prepared for.
- 7:14You know what I mean? But they weaponize your ego.
- 7:18Your hurt, your fractured ego, your damaged ego is then
- 7:21weaponized against you. They absolutely hurt your
- 7:26feelings and things like that. They they yeah, they just really
- 7:28do. They put it on you.
- 7:29They put it. They put you through it.
- 7:32And I'm just telling you people like your ego is so hurt that
- 7:34you reach out to them or this doesn't always lead to the
- 7:37reverse Hoover. But if your ego is hurt and I
- 7:40reach out to you at the exact moment, at the right time, wrong
- 7:45place, you know how wrong place, wrong time type stuff happens.
- 7:47If I reach out to you, you understand the vulnerability
- 7:50because your ego is damaged. I just weaponize.
- 7:52You're her ego against you now. You're in a state to perceive me
- 7:55back into your life. You're in a state to listen to
- 7:57me. You're in a state to work with
- 7:59me. You're in a state.
- 8:00You're in a mental state to be collaborative with me to, to
- 8:03maybe be open to some new possibilities in this
- 8:06relationship space. Know what I'm saying?
- 8:09Like y'all a narcissist hurts your ego because our egos are
- 8:14hurt. Our egos are inflated.
- 8:16Our egos don't. A lot of times y'all our egos
- 8:19don't make sense. A lot of times our egos don't
- 8:28make sense. And that's how you can tell that
- 8:30sometimes you can get a lot of narcissists.
- 8:33You can see a lot of narcissistic people.
- 8:34That's how you can spot a narcissist.
- 8:36The ego doesn't make sense. You see what I'm saying?
- 8:38Like who they present themselves as and who they actually are.
- 8:42Don't make the don't match up. Like I said, the big muscle
- 8:45head, just pounds of muscle head with a little tiny shirt on.
- 8:51It's about the pot. Like, hey, that shirt doesn't
- 8:53fit you, you know what I'm saying?
- 8:55The ego, they the ego is weighed.
- 8:57It don't fit. It don't fit.
- 9:00It don't fit. I know this might be a mixed
- 9:02analogy, but it doesn't fit. You know what I mean?
- 9:05It should be a big shirt, like a big fly.
- 9:07It might be not the muscle shirt.
- 9:09Maybe like a little. Maybe like a little dude.
- 9:11Yeah, a little little dude. A little little lady.
- 9:13A little what? Not a little person in like a
- 9:166XL shirt, like the Ego doesn't fit.
- 9:19That might be working better and it's funny, both of them.
- 9:22Funny be a 6XL shirt, you know what I mean?
- 9:26With the Ego inflated or whatever.
- 9:28You said that a BIG6XL shirt on a little person, you know, it's
- 9:32just the sleeves don't fit, is like a big drape.
- 9:35It's like a cloak. You see what I'm saying?
- 9:37But yeah, y'all, don't let your ego be weaponized against you.
- 9:40I'm just telling you because they would.
- 9:41They absolutely will. A narcissistic person, a toxic
- 9:44person, will use your own ego against you.
- 9:46Your feelings are hurt, your self esteem is shattered, Your
- 9:49self importance is rattled. Your and it hurts you.
- 9:52It just does. You know what I'm saying?
- 9:55It just does. Don't let it be weaponized
- 9:57against you. Because as much like I said, you
- 9:59are human being. You have feelings or your
- 10:01feelings are hurt. It's understandable they
- 10:03downgraded or they or they could have upgraded whatever viewpoint
- 10:06you have. Y'all.
- 10:07I try not to do the measuring scale with people so much
- 10:10nowadays because it helps me in my own life.
- 10:13But if they upgraded you, they're if they upgraded in
- 10:15their new relationship and the new supply, they might hurt your
- 10:18feelings as well. It might hurt your ego as well.
- 10:20What do they have that I don't have?
- 10:21Now you feel like you lack something because your ego has
- 10:24been hurt. Now you feel like you lack
- 10:26something. So now you reaching out to me,
- 10:28asking me what you lack, asking me what you can work on.
- 10:30Asking me how you can be better for me, asking what can you do
- 10:34to get for us to get back together.
- 10:36Asking me you see what I'm saying?
- 10:38Because now I've upgraded. So to upgrade it's an upgrade or
- 10:41downgrade is going to hurt your ego anyway.
- 10:43Like he said, either way, me leaving you when you're not
- 10:45ready or that narcissistic person leaving you when you're
- 10:48not ready is going to hurt you regardless.
- 10:52It just is y'all it's going to hurt you regardless, regardless
- 10:55of the fact it's one of those things going to hurt y'all.
