Transcript
- 0:00So what is one thing that will set a narcissist off?
- 0:05One, one thing that you can do to set almost any narcissist off
- 0:10in the world to make them lose their damn minds.
- 0:13What's what? What's that one thing?
- 0:14That's what we're going to talk about today, y'all.
- 0:17What happens when you tell the narcissist the truth about
- 0:19themselves? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:23Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist and
- 0:26welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:47Hey, I look, I'm not saying I'm just saying what yo?
- 0:53You know one thing that almost universally pisses most
- 0:59narcissists off is when you tell them the truth about themselves.
- 1:05It is crazy, isn't it? Narcissistic people?
- 1:09Toxic people? Absolutely it's going to look
- 1:11especially when the truth is not savory.
- 1:15Of course, that's why I say almost any narcissist, right?
- 1:17When you tell them the truth about themselves, how people
- 1:21really truly view them, how most people that interact with them
- 1:25don't really care for them or don't really like them, a lot of
- 1:28them are absolutely positively going to lose their root and
- 1:32Tooting mind. That's y'all.
- 1:35That's just I said root and Tooting like I talk like like
- 1:39Woody and buzz right rooting Tooting that you're my favorite
- 1:43deputy. But that's going to positively
- 1:47make a lot of narcissistic people lose their minds when you
- 1:51just open your mouth and tell them the truth about themselves.
- 1:54Because as you might know, as most people might know,
- 1:58narcissist have a very fragile ego.
- 2:01You know, you notice I said narcissist, not some narcissist.
- 2:05All this is one of the things that y'all know if y'all follow
- 2:09me for any amount of time, y'all know that one of the things I
- 2:11try not to do is I try not to speak in absolutes.
- 2:15I try not to speaks, speaks, speak in absolutes about
- 2:19narcissists, right? I try to make it because no, no
- 2:21two narcissists are the same. But in this instance right here,
- 2:25this might be the one absolute the, the fragility, the fragile
- 2:30ego, the sensitive to criticism, the sensitivity to criticism.
- 2:34If you, if narcissistic people have this inflated ego about who
- 2:40we actually are and how people actually view us, right?
- 2:43And then you hit us with the truth.
- 2:45You might make, you might, you might see us snap.
- 2:49You literally might see us snap and lose our damn minds because
- 2:52we can't handle the truth about ourselves.
- 2:55Like, I literally just saw this video, right with this woman.
- 2:59I'm probably going to react to it on my other channel, but I
- 3:03saw this video of this woman like literally sitting in bed
- 3:06with a with a, with a man, right?
- 3:08And he was just berating her. He was like you fat, you ugly.
- 3:12Nobody wants you, you and she was.
- 3:15He knew. He knew that she was recording.
- 3:18He knew that she was recording. He said he's a you fat, you
- 3:20ugly, nobody going to want you, you, you stupid.
- 3:24You got no education. You got kids like you worthless.
- 3:27You lucky I even want to be with you.
- 3:30And then and she was like, I'm recording you.
- 3:32She's like, I don't care about you.
- 3:32He's like, I don't care about that damn phone.
- 3:34I don't care about that damn phone.
- 3:35I do not care about that damn phone.
- 3:38And then you know what she said she just she just got she's
- 3:40like, well, yeah, I might be fat, but at least I ain't broke.
- 3:42At least I ain't got no, at least I ain't broke with no job
- 3:44and no car. He snapped and hit her while the
- 3:47camera was running. He literally snapped and hit her
- 3:51while the camera was running. He didn't care.
- 3:55He said she's like well, like I might be fat, but Lisa, I ain't
- 3:58broke with no job and call myself a man.
- 4:00He's like and he lost his mind because although he felt like he
- 4:04could put her down, as soon as the truth was told about him, he
- 4:09just he literally erupted. Now if that wasn't true, he
- 4:14wouldn't have said nothing. He just joked it off like I got
- 4:15money, I got a car. But because he is broke, because
- 4:19he is jobless, because he is pretty much a bum, for lack of a
- 4:22better word, right. And he's got, and I know people
- 4:25are going to say, well, well, Lee, she got kids bombed.
- 4:28So is she is she a bum? Hey, some people we didn't
- 4:30trick, right? But some people, hey, hey, but
- 4:36she was she, he really did go through the process.
- 4:38He was like, soon as he heard the truth about himself, even
- 4:41though he was belittleing her, berating her, as soon as he
- 4:44heard the truth about himself, he lost his mind.
- 4:50Literally, literally popped off at this woman because she
- 4:53decided to have the audacity, the unmitigated goal to say what
- 5:00is absolutely not, not even a subjective truth, the objective
- 5:04truth about this person. He lost his mind.
- 5:06He got became violent, right? That's why I'm just saying
- 5:09sometimes when you have to speak your truth to a narcissist, will
- 5:13you want this close your conversations?
- 5:15Will you want to tell them how you feel?
- 5:16That's why they get to that's why they attack.
- 5:19And by attack, yeah, when I say that's why they attack is not
- 5:22always going to be a physical retribution, right?
- 5:25Sometimes they'll have an emotional reaction and they give
- 5:28you that emotional retribution. Well, they'll give you the
- 5:30silent treatment, right? They refuse to talk to you.
- 5:34They'll give you the silent treatment.
- 5:35They'll, they'll, some of them will ghost you.
- 5:38Some of them will Stonewall you. They'll pretend you don't exist.
- 5:42Like it's not always rage. Well, I, I, I, I'm, I'm a
- 5:47believer that the silent treatment is rage, right?
- 5:50I call the silent treatment rage.
- 5:51I say this, I call it silent rage.
- 5:55But this is what happens. This is part of what goes on.
- 5:57A lot of people, narcissistic people, toxic people deal with
- 6:00this. This is one of the situations
- 6:03like even in my own mind, I have this inflated ego, right?
- 6:08When people tell me the truth about myself, that break that
- 6:11breaks me, that knocks me off of this pedestal in my mind, that
- 6:15rocks this pedestal that shakes my mind and breaks my heart
- 6:18about myself. That kind of brings me back to
- 6:21the reality of my life and not this fantasy world.
- 6:24When you try to, when you crack the delusion, that's when they
- 6:26lose it. When you crack the delusion,
- 6:29that's when they lose it, of course, like telling the truth
- 6:32about themselves, telling telling them the truth about
- 6:34themselves when they are doing something good can help stroke
- 6:38their ego, right? It just, it kind of depends on
- 6:41what position that you're in, in this relationship.
- 6:43Because if you're in a good position in a relationship,
- 6:45telling them the truth about themselves helps serve you,
- 6:47doesn't it? It does.
- 6:51But like, because you can stroke their ego and damn near you can
- 6:54damn near manipulate them to get what you want from them in this
- 6:58circumstance when you're stroking their ego and when
- 7:00you're saying what you need to say about them, when you're
- 7:01doing what you need to do to them.
- 7:03Like that can help you in a certain circumstances, right?
- 7:06Lee, how do I get a narcissist to do what I want them to do?
- 7:08Stroke their ego, right? Especially you have to inflate
- 7:12their ego. Like if it's something small,
- 7:14you got to make it feel like it's huge, right?
- 7:17But to them, it's keeping them in the delusions.
- 7:20It's keeping them is you're not shattering their reality because
- 7:24that would actually happens. You end up shattering their
- 7:26reality and they lose their damn minds.
- 7:29They lose their other loving minds and they can't do anything
- 7:32about it other than have this visceral reaction towards you
- 7:35and towards other people who are also bringing them out of their
- 7:39delusion. And This is why you get a lot of
- 7:42abusive, manipulative, narcissistic people that do this
- 7:45type of stuff. And I know y'all was like, well
- 7:47Dang, Lee, what can we do? Like like the truth?
- 7:50What if they know? If they don't like the truth
- 7:53being told about them, why don't they just treat us better?
- 7:55Because they don't. They feel like they don't have
- 7:57to. That'd be real if the
- 8:01relationship has any type of longevity to it.
- 8:04They feel like they don't have to treat you better because
- 8:07you're already here with them. Why do I need to treat you
- 8:10better if you're already with me?
- 8:12If we're already in a relationship, if I've already
- 8:16how to So if I've already bagged you, then why do I need to put
- 8:19in any additional work? That doesn't make any sense to
- 8:21me right? I already bagged you, but I So I
- 8:24need to continue to treat you better.
- 8:25No, I treated you good to get you.
- 8:27Why do I need to continue? Oh yeah, y'all know I don't cut
- 8:32the videos, but that's little baby sneaks.
- 8:34Why do I need to continue to treat you good?
- 8:37I did it already. It's crazy.
- 8:39It is crazy. You know you're not a good
- 8:41parent, right? Yeah, of course.
- 8:43Use discretion when you're telling them the truth about
- 8:46themselves. You know you're not a good
- 8:47parent, right, RA? You know you're a deadbeat,
- 8:49right? RA And it's the truth.
- 8:51They think they're good. They think they're a good parent
- 8:53because they are physically present, right?
- 8:56They, they, they're a good parent because they see their
- 8:58kids one time out in a month. I'm a good parent.
- 9:01You know, some people don't see they some people don't see their
- 9:03kids 0 times. At least I see them once.
- 9:06See that made me a good parent. I'm already, I'm not AI can't be
- 9:08a deadbeat because I got at least one beat.
- 9:12Like if there's 30 beats in a month, dead beat means there's
- 9:16no beats, right? A dead beat means there's no
- 9:18beats. I see my kids once a month, so
- 9:21there's one beat. If I were to hook up an EKG to
- 9:24you, an EKG machine that measures your heartbeat, if it's
- 9:27flat line, there's no beats. If you were dealing with me
- 9:31because I see my kids once a month, that's do you see?
- 9:38That's a beat. That's what the hell?
- 9:41I just say, What the hell did I just say?
- 9:43Yeah, that's that's that's truly stupid.
- 9:45I didn't say it, but that really is the mentality.
- 9:50They think because they give their kids once a month that
- 9:53they're not a deadbeat because dad is 0 beats, right?
- 9:58But you tell them the truth about themselves like that,
- 9:59you're still a deadbeat. Once a month does not mean
- 10:02anything, especially if you live 5 minutes away.
- 10:04You live 10 minutes down the street.
- 10:05You live in the same state, you make time to go play poker and
- 10:09video games and cards and do all this other stuff.
- 10:11But once I'm up for your kids, tell them the truth about
- 10:15themselves. You're not as smart as you think
- 10:17you are. You were not, you were not as
- 10:19good in high school as you thought you were.
- 10:21You were not that good of a cheerleader.
- 10:22You're not that good looking. You're not the the most
- 10:25beautiful person in the world. You're not that tall.
- 10:28You're actually, you know, 5. You know 5-1 is short for a man,
- 10:32right? You see what I'm saying?
- 10:33It's for my short kings out there.
- 10:34I love y'all, I'm not a heist, I'm just saying, but this is how
- 10:37you get to get to the the heart of a narcissist.
- 10:39This is how you Pierce the heart of a narcissist.
- 10:42I'm talking about piercing the heart like the damn vampire.
- 10:44This is how you take the the cross and you Pierce the heart
- 10:47of a narcissist by doing this right here.
- 10:49Pierce their heart and you take their soul away.
- 10:52I don't know that sounds stupid y'all, but that's the mentality
- 10:55that so many face, so many people face right there.
