Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we're going to be talking about how narcissists turn
- 0:06people against you. How like, how does it happen?
- 0:09Like how did they turn your closest associates against you,
- 0:13against you? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:16Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:17narcissist. And welcome to another episode
- 0:19of the Narcissist Code. So boom, welcome back, welcome
- 0:38back, welcome back, folks. Yes, yes, yes.
- 0:40That's the question of the hour, isn't it?
- 0:42How the hell do narcissists manage so efficiently to turn
- 0:48people against you? Like how to hit out?
- 0:50How does this happen? I know a lot of people ask
- 0:52wanted a lot of people wanted this right here because you'll
- 0:55be like in a good relationship. You like you have not not
- 0:59necessarily good intimate relationship like you'll have a
- 1:01good friend circle. You have a beautiful support
- 1:03system like you grew up in a healthy happy household.
- 1:07You have a good friend group. You have a good support system
- 1:10like you like you have a good job and everything like that.
- 1:12You have good Co workers like your life is good.
- 1:15Then you meet this person who, who's typically sweeps you off
- 1:19of your feet. Not everybody gets swept off to
- 1:21their feet in narcissist relationships, but a lot of
- 1:24people get swept up off of their feet, right?
- 1:26This person sweeps you off of your feet, love bombs the, the,
- 1:30the steam off of you and gets embedded into your life.
- 1:34Sometimes they become friends with your friends, right?
- 1:37Sometimes they they get embedded with your friend group, with
- 1:39your family and whatnot, with your coworkers, whoever the
- 1:41closest people to you are, they get embedded in that group
- 1:44because that's how it normally happens in healthy
- 1:46relationships, right? You meet them, they meet your
- 1:49friends, your friends, hopefully like them.
- 1:51Y'all just become a like you just have a plus one to your
- 1:55support system, right? But the way it goes,
- 1:58narcissistic people, once the love bombing ends and they start
- 2:00to devalue you, they separate you from your friend group.
- 2:03A lot of times. A lot of times your support
- 2:05system weans, it goes away. It's just like typically it's
- 2:09just like drifts off. It doesn't completely disappear,
- 2:12but it drifts off into nothingness.
- 2:15Like he's just like wait, wait a minute.
- 2:17I had so many friends and found what, what the hell my people
- 2:19at? You be confused as hell.
- 2:21You just don't know where your friends and family.
- 2:22You don't know where your people are.
- 2:24You just like lost. Like I had a lot of friends and
- 2:27found what the hell did they go? The narcissist in your life has
- 2:31turned them against you. And there's a few different ways
- 2:33that they do this job. The 1st way is that they just
- 2:36lie. They spread rumors to your
- 2:38friends, they tell your friends and your family members and the
- 2:42people around you or their friends and family members Co
- 2:44workers. Whoever it is doesn't have to be
- 2:46your inner circle. It can be their inner circle who
- 2:49may who may have liked you at 1st and now they can't stand
- 2:52your ass like what happened. They lie yo.
- 2:55I think so many people think the smear campaign from a narcissist
- 3:00starts at the end of the relationship.
- 3:02That's not true all the time. The smear campaign from a
- 3:04narcissist a lot of times starts while you're in the relationship
- 3:08with them. They start telling lies and
- 3:11spreading rumors about you while you're still with them.
- 3:15That's crazy, right? I know you're like damn Lee what
- 3:18the what what how the heck? What the heck Lee what how how
- 3:25how did this how did this happen?
- 3:27I know y'all curious about that? He's like what?
- 3:29What the hell? How did this happen?
- 3:31Lee, they I'm sorry, I know it's not funny.
- 3:37It's just the way I, I crack myself up because I don't know.
- 3:39I'm going to say sometimes it, it just comes out like they be
- 3:42lying their asses off to your friends and family.
- 3:45They just start spreading little rumors about you and lying like
- 3:48man, Lee treat Lee treat me horrible, like Lee is not a good
- 3:52person. Like when I first got into this
- 3:54relationship, I, I, I thought I could be myself, but Lee is just
- 3:56treating me so badly. I'm lying to your friends in
- 3:59this, in this situation, I'm not Lee.
- 4:01Lee is my Lee is the narcissist, right?
- 4:04They just be lying to your friends and family.
- 4:06Start planting little seeds, little seeds.
- 4:09And sometimes it's crazy that people around you believe them,
- 4:13their friends believe them. Their friends and family members
- 4:15are more apt to believe them anyway.
- 4:17So that really has nothing to do with you a lot of times.
- 4:19But your friends and family, they start planting these little
- 4:22seeds and start because they behave the way they do.
- 4:25This is they behave very well in front of your friends and
- 4:28family, right? They behave very well in front
- 4:32of your people. They do.
- 4:33They behave extremely well. They have this good reputation
- 4:37in front of your people and in front of their people.
- 4:39But behind the scenes, behind that curtain at home, behind
- 4:42that red, behind that big red curtain at home, surprise, they
- 4:46toxic as hell. They manipulative as hell.
- 4:49They be lying. They asses off.
- 4:51They're like, they can't tell the damn truth.
- 4:53It's so crazy. They can't even tell the damn
- 4:55truth, right? They just be lying.
- 4:57They little manipulative asses off and this is the way it goes
- 5:01for so many people in these situations, right?
- 5:03This is how it happens. And then like they just, you
- 5:07know, at home, they're like the monster, like you know, you ever
- 5:10seen the Gremlins? I don't know.
- 5:11I'm about the age of myself. Yes, I'm 39 years old.
- 5:13If you ever seen the Gremlins with Gizmo, Gizmos, little.
- 5:17If you ever seen the Gremlins, Gizmo is like a little nice
- 5:19little creature, right? And they tell you don't feed the
- 5:22grid, don't feed him or get him wet.
- 5:23After a certain time, you get him wet, he turns into these
- 5:25little goblins and then he turns evil.
- 5:28Gizmo turns evil. He's like Gizmo to this nice
- 5:30little brown little alien, cute as hell, cute as can be, but you
- 5:33get him wet. You feed him after midnight,
- 5:35turn into a little monster. That's what narcissists are at
- 5:37home. Narcissists are the little
- 5:38monsters at home. They're not the little, they're
- 5:40not the little, they're not the little alias, but they they have
- 5:43like this is how they act at home.
- 5:45They just put this mask on in public and people typically
- 5:48don't see behind the mask like you, like they started spreading
- 5:51these rumors about you and they put on this good act that had
- 5:53this good reputation and your friends and you and you start
- 5:56complaining and you'll be like, man, I'm getting treated
- 5:57horribly at home. And they'll be like, whoa, we
- 6:00don't see it that way. We just we believe your partner
- 6:02because your partner is just good that everybody bother
- 6:04everybody that drinks through the life of the party like
- 6:06you've changed what they turn your people against you by lying
- 6:11and planting seeds. It's crazy as hell how they be
- 6:14working and it works. It does.
- 6:16They should be lying and planting seeds.
- 6:19It works y'all. It does work, you know and it
- 6:23happens all the time to so many people when y'all and it happens
- 6:25so subtly. It's just like you just turn
- 6:27around you're like, damn, I ain't no friends, I ain't no
- 6:28family members and guess what happens?
- 6:31It turns around. You don't have you feel like you
- 6:32don't have a support system, you don't have any friends and
- 6:34family around. Guess what happens?
- 6:36The only person that you end up being able to reach out to is
- 6:40that narcissist. And guess what happens?
- 6:41They don't want to hear it. They don't want to hear it.
- 6:45They don't want to hear their mouth.
- 6:46They don't want to hear it like I don't.
- 6:48No narcissist wants to hear you complaining about them.
- 6:51To them, that's just me being real.
- 6:52That's just me keeping it hot and rated like a Little Caesar's
- 6:54pizza, right? That's how they do it.
- 6:56You know, the other way that they turn, there's going to be
- 7:00some other ways might not listen.
- 7:02I don't want this video run on too long, but the other main way
- 7:05that they turn people against you other than lying is they
- 7:09just isolate you. Y'all, you do it.
- 7:13You see what I'm saying? And I was like, believe, yes,
- 7:14victim blaming. No, listen to me right here.
- 7:16I am not victim blaming. I'm trying to show you how you
- 7:19can play a role in your own isolation.
- 7:22Narcissistic people love bomb you.
- 7:25It seems normal, it seems healthy.
- 7:26When you meet somebody new, the sparks are flying, the cheeks
- 7:29are clapping, the wine is pouring.
- 7:31Whatever y'all like to do for fun, right?
- 7:33You're partying, you're having fun, right?
- 7:36This is how it goes. Y'all go out and do this, y'all
- 7:38go out and have fun. You party blah blah blah Boo Boo
- 7:40Boo. Y'all do all this stuff and
- 7:42naturally y'all spend so much time together.
- 7:45Then you start to see other people less.
- 7:47They naturally isolate you. They naturally isolate you.
- 7:53You go away from your friends and family and people start
- 7:55turning against you. Like damn, you put your you get,
- 7:58you knew you fresh people were like damn, we don't see you no
- 8:01more like you don't get you a new Boo.
- 8:03You don't disappear on us. Wow, damn what what happened?
- 8:06I thought we were friends, thought we was cool, thought we
- 8:08were siblings. I thought we were like the the
- 8:11three best friends there ever could be.
- 8:13We were Blood Brothers. We took a blood oath.
- 8:15We took a blood oath and you don't you, you didn't dissed us
- 8:18and y'all be laid up getting love bombed and by by the time
- 8:21you know it, you're isolated. You didn't cut your friends and
- 8:24family off for this narcissistic person because you want to spend
- 8:28more time with them and they make you feel insecure about
- 8:30going. They make you feel guilty and
- 8:32insecure about going around your friends and family.
- 8:34Like, why are you going to go spend time with your brother?
- 8:36I thought you're going to be here with me.
- 8:37Why are you going to see your sister?
- 8:38You're going to see your aunt, your cousin.
- 8:39Why are you going to see with your mom and dad?
- 8:41Like what happened? What about me?
- 8:42I guess I'll be here by myself. And you start cancelling trips.
- 8:46You start not showing up for holidays.
- 8:48And people are just naturally normal people.
- 8:50They're like that. It's kind of messed.
- 8:51Like, you can come to Christmas. Well, my partner didn't want me
- 8:53to come. They just made me.
- 8:54They might want to hear that. So people would naturally turn
- 8:57against you in that space right there.
- 8:58Not when I say turn against you right here.
- 9:00I don't mean that they hate you. They just started to they just
- 9:03got started to dislike it. You, you you rub them the wrong
- 9:06way. When you little show off for
- 9:07Christmas, you start disappearing.
- 9:08You don't show up the family functions and you don't show up
- 9:12the family functions or anything anymore.
- 9:14Like you kind of start to rub them the wrong way.
- 9:16Sorry, how my mouth came off and that happens.
- 9:19That really does happen. Yeah.
- 9:20My camera, my camera's on its last leg.
- 9:22It it'd be yeah, it'd be flash. And I just said the video to my
- 9:24friend, but it's just crazier. But that's what happens.
- 9:30They do this type of stuff, they love it.
- 9:32They love it when you get isolated because now you don't
- 9:34have it again, you don't have a support system.
- 9:36The only person that you can complain about to me is me
- 9:39because you've been naturally isolated.
- 9:41Narcissists love to isolate you. They move you away from your
- 9:44friends and family, right? That's how they do it.
- 9:46They naturally isolate you by moving away for a job or career
- 9:48or just a a change of scenery, right?
- 9:52That's how they naturally isolate.
- 9:53You get isolated and people don't like it no more.
- 9:55They're just like, damn, they don't, they don't your friends
- 9:57down. They don't necessarily hate you.
- 9:59They just like stop inviting you this stuff.
- 10:01You you notice like you don't you, you miss showing up to like
- 10:04three parties or wedding or anniversary and birthdays and
- 10:07whatever. And also the invites stop
- 10:09coming. They don't invite you no more
- 10:12because you haven't been showing up because you've been isolated
- 10:14by this narcissistic person, this toxic ass person, right?
- 10:18So that's another way that they do it just by just natural
- 10:22isolation. And I'll go over this last way
- 10:24right here. So this will be three ways
- 10:25y'all. I might actually title this
- 10:27three ways to the narcissist to turn people against you.
- 10:29That might be a good, that might actually be a good title.
- 10:33But the last way is because you keep going back.
- 10:38And this is like, and this is the subtle way that people don't
- 10:40realize it. Your people will start to
- 10:43sometimes turn against you when you keep going back into
- 10:46toxicity. If you keep going back into this
- 10:49toxic relationship, your friends and family members might
- 10:52naturally start to kind of distance themselves from you.
- 10:55Like I had a woman the other day I was talking to.
- 10:57No, this, no, this woman is in my support group.
- 10:59She's in my support group called the mental healers
- 11:01courses.mentalhealers.net to check out my support group.
- 11:04It's scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
- 11:07But she said that her therapist fired her.
- 11:11Now this woman I did a one-on-one with.
- 11:12She said her therapist stopped talking to her.
- 11:14She's like her therapist said, Hey, look, I, I, I fear for your
- 11:18life. These stories you're telling me
- 11:20are horrible. The abuse is horrible.
- 11:21They, they tried to take your life a few times.
- 11:24If you go back to this person, I'm no longer going to be able
- 11:27to be a therapist because I can't.
- 11:28I don't want to have to know my conscience.
- 11:29This is what she told me. And she went back and the third,
- 11:32she tried to schedule a therapy for me.
- 11:33And the therapist was like, no, I told you, I'll send you a
- 11:35referral to somebody else. Even the therapist cut her off.
- 11:38Your sister, your brother's cut you off.
- 11:40Like, hey, if you go back, I can't talk to you no more.
- 11:42And you go back and they stop talking to you, your mom be
- 11:44like, hey, look, if you go back into this toxicity where you
- 11:46might lose your life, I can't deal with it anymore.
- 11:49Where we, we, we tired of hearing the same thing repeat
- 11:51itself over and over again. And guess what?
- 11:53You go back and they, they follow through with it.
- 11:55And then you feel like they abandoned you.
- 11:57Well, sometimes it can look like abandonment, but the people can
- 12:00set boundaries with you as well. So you get the people sort of
- 12:03naturally turn against you because you keep choosing to go
- 12:05back in toxicity. Y'all, I know the trauma bond
- 12:09exists. I'm not trying to be ignorant of
- 12:10the trauma bond. I'm just telling you, regardless
- 12:12of the trauma bond or not, you go back into it.
- 12:15You tell people about the abuse, they help, they help you move
- 12:18out of this house, they help you survive, they help you get away
- 12:20from it. And you still go back into it,
- 12:22right? And when you go back into it,
- 12:24these people are not happy with you anymore.
- 12:25And when they're not happy with you, they do this type of stuff
- 12:28to you. They I, they just like, OK, we
- 12:30got to leave you alone. We can't deal with you anymore,
- 12:32we can't be around you anymore, and that sucks for you.
- 12:34I know it does. I'm not trying to make it seem
- 12:36like it doesn't suck. It absolutely does suck.
- 12:39But again, this is the the risk you run when you go back.
- 12:42They will just people just turn against you and just cut you off
- 12:44and stop inviting you this stuff and you know they pray for you
- 12:47and they stop checking on you because they think you're going
- 12:48to end up losing your life. This happened so much y'all.
