- 0:32Oof. Y'all know that.
- 0:33Y'all know that. Y'all y'all y'all know.
- 0:35I'm about to go into detail about that.
- 0:37But first of all, y'all bear with me here.

- 1:01Remember it pops up. Remember, it's not your fault.
- 1:05Oh, I'm excited about that. Oh, oh, oh, I'm super excited.
- 1:10But yes. So what are narcissists like
- 1:13behind closed doors? I know a lot a lot of people
- 1:16have a a lot of varying perspectives on this right here.
- 1:19But just for me, in the from the mind of a diagnosed narcissist,
- 1:24which I am, is this part right here.
- 1:26It's just like narcissist are mostly their real self behind
- 1:34closed doors. When they are at home with you
- 1:37is when the narcissist is really, really, really, truly
- 1:41themselves. This is who, yeah, I know you
- 1:44see them outside doing different things.
- 1:45I know you see them outside, behaving differently, treating
- 1:48other people differently, being nice, being nicer to other
- 1:52people, maybe having maybe having a good reputation in the
- 1:56community, doing all of this good stuff.
- 1:59But behind closed doors, they treat you badly.
- 2:02They treat you like you're the scum of the earth.
- 2:03They treat you like you're worth less than everybody else in the
- 2:06world. It's because this is their safe
- 2:08zone. Y'all narcissists are their true
- 2:10selves, who they, who who they are the most.
- 2:14If you were to break down a narcissist true character, they
- 2:18are most mostly themselves when they are at home with you.
- 2:22This is who they are. And most people never ever
- 2:26really truly know the narcissist.
- 2:27Like, even if you are the person behind closed doors or the
- 2:30people behind closed doors that are getting treated badly, you
- 2:34don't even get the full version of it because it's a wild
- 2:39dynamic out. Because narcissistic people like
- 2:42the mask. They like to put on the mask and
- 2:44be out there in public, but they were.
- 2:46It's like they take the mask off when they come home and they
- 2:50become who they actually are. This is them, not the person
- 2:55that you see out there treating everybody else good.
- 2:57And then they come home and yell and scream at you.
- 2:59Not the person that's looking at you across the across the room
- 3:02at an event or a party. And you know that they're, you
- 3:05can tell by that, by the language that they're going to
- 3:06yell and scream at you, at the home, at home, or they're going
- 3:09to give you the silent treatment or they're going to make you,
- 3:11they're going to put you down and make you feel worthless,
- 3:13worthless than what you are. You know, like you see that
- 3:17person that's not like you know who they are.
- 3:21That's why they treat you the worst when you get home with a
- 3:24narcissist behind closed doors. This is why they treat you
- 3:27badly. Because you know who I am and I
- 3:32don't like that. That narcissistic person doesn't
- 3:34like that. Narcissist have limited
- 3:36emotional capacity. And this is in my perspective
- 3:38right here. Limited emotional capacity,
- 3:40which which means we have emotion, we have the capacity
- 3:44for emotions we do, we have the the whole range of emotions.
- 3:48But we don't have a lot of, we don't have a lot of room for
- 3:51everybody else's emotions. That's where the problems come
- 3:53into play right there. We don't have a lot of room for
- 3:55everybody else's emotions. We don't have a lot of, we
- 3:58don't. We don't have a lot going on for
- 3:59everybody else's stuff, you know what I mean?
- 4:03So when they're out there, when they're out there in the real
- 4:06world, putting that mask on, being somebody that they are
- 4:10not, takes up emotional energy, Takes up like waste emotional
- 4:15energy putting on the front for the world, right.
- 4:18They waste emotional energy putting on the front for the
- 4:21world. But there's always a butt,
- 4:23right? Big old butt.
- 4:26They waste a lot of time putting on the front from everybody
- 4:28else. So when they come home, like the
- 4:30energy is gone. The emotional reserves are gone.
- 4:34Now I don't have to. I don't have to put on the
- 4:36front. I can be me at home and you know
- 4:39who they are like. And that's the, and that's the
- 4:40troubling part with a lot of people because when you are
- 4:43dealing with a narcissistic person, right.
- 4:46And you get the worst version of them, sometimes you see them
- 4:49treating well, a lot of times you see them treating everybody
- 4:52else better. You see them giving emotional
- 4:54energy better. You see them lending money to
- 4:57their friend. That's down and out on their
- 4:59luck. But then they get they get mad
- 5:01at you for buying a bag of bag of Doritos because because of
- 5:04inflation, that bag of Doritos used to be $0.25 when I was
- 5:07growing up. You going to waste $0.50 on it?
- 5:08The same bag, the same bag. They just gave $1000 to their
- 5:13friend to invest in some weird, weird business, you know?
- 5:16And their friend never pays them back.
- 5:18But you, you, you better pay them back, you know what I mean?
- 5:23But that's part of the dynamic that's that's part of y'all who
- 5:26they are behind closed doors is who they really are, who they
- 5:31really are. And it's it's frustrating for
- 5:33the people who've been behind closed doors with them, you
- 5:36know, it's frustrating for the people who've been behind those
- 5:39doors. And then you go out, you you get
- 5:41out from behind closed doors, like it's like you can see them
- 5:44put the mask on, Like they'll be yelling and screaming at you.
- 5:47And then the police come to the door, or somebody knock on the
- 5:49door and then they'll just start start smiling or smiling or look
- 5:53at the person differently. They're like, shut the hell up,
- 5:55shut up. See, you guys might come over
- 5:59here. Hey, what's going on?
- 6:02Oh, yelling. No, no, no, no.
- 6:03I was. I was watching football.
- 6:05I get. I get passionate over here.
- 6:07Yeah. I'll see you later.
- 6:08Appreciate it, man. Thanks for.
- 6:09Hey, if anything, thanks for checking on me.
- 6:11So if something if something does happen.
- 6:13I can always thank you. I can always think that you're
- 6:15going to be here for me. That you run.
- 6:17You'll run over here knock on the door, won't you?
- 6:19Peace out. All right, man.
- 6:20See you later. Then they switch right back into
- 6:23mode, blaming you for that person coming over there, Right
- 6:25back to being evil and things of that nature.
- 6:28Yeah, this happens all the time. And this is, y'all know I'm not
- 6:30making this up. Y'all see it.
- 6:32You live it. That's why you're watching this
- 6:33video. That's why you're watching this
- 6:35video. You know who you like, say you
- 6:37know it. You know that you know the space
- 6:40that you're in. You know who you're dealing with
- 6:42at the end of the day. And that's why, like, when
- 6:44you're dealing with a toxic, narcissistic, just evil person,
- 6:48some of a lot of them do ACT at the evil person.
- 6:50Yeah, but. But Lee, how we get him to treat
- 6:54us better behind closed doors? Y'all.
- 6:57That's the that's the $1,000,000 question, isn't it?
- 7:00My answer is you really can't. They're going to like if they've
- 7:05been doing the same thing. So let me rephrase this.
- 7:07I'm not going to say you really can't.
- 7:08It's going to say it's extremely difficult for somebody who's
- 7:11been treating you something the same way for 5-10, fifteen,
- 7:1420-30 years to change their behaviors now because they think
- 7:17you're, they think you're accepting of it.
- 7:20It's really, it's easier to get somebody to treat you
- 7:23differently earlier on than it is for somebody who's like
- 7:28planted roots in this relationship that has been in
- 7:30this relationship for a long time.
- 7:32You know, I mean it's easier to train to try to train to train.
- 7:35It's easier to try to change those those those behaviors
- 7:39earlier on because earlier on if you start setting boundaries,
- 7:42you can set boundaries now, but you have to be careful with
- 7:44setting boundaries and saying no and not tolerating things and
- 7:48not, you know, not, you know, not.
- 7:50You don't have to attend every argument that you're invited to,
- 7:53you know, So like I said, if you don't have to, you don't have to
- 7:56attend every single argument that you're invited to.
- 7:59So when you deal with narcissistic, toxic people, they
- 8:01do things like that. They just drive.
- 8:03They they go, they're trying to pick arguments on purpose
- 8:06because they're angry at work, because they're angry something,
- 8:08something happening to them at work.
- 8:09They'll come home and pick, pick an argument with you, something
- 8:12something bad happened to them at school.
- 8:14They'll come home and pick an argument with you.
- 8:16You know what I'm saying? It's not if you're the spouse or
- 8:19partner of this narcissist, you. It's not just you.
- 8:22The kids get it too. The kids get it as well.
- 8:24Y'all. And a lot of times the kids pick
- 8:26up on it a lot sooner in life, which is, you know, it's it's, I
- 8:30don't even say it's wild, but kids pick up on it a lot sooner.
- 8:33And they start protecting themselves a lot earlier, you
- 8:36know. But if you've been in it for a
- 8:38while, you've been in it 10/15/20 years, yeah, it's hard
- 8:41for you. It's extremely hard for you to
- 8:43try to change somebody's behaviours that they feel like
- 8:46you've been tolerating for a long time.
- 8:48What's the issue now? What's the problem now?
- 8:49I thought we were cool. I thought things were going all
- 8:51right, then why are you trying to change?
- 8:53You must have somebody else who you who you messing with now,
- 8:55who you talking to now They're accused.
- 8:57Like if you try to change their your behaviors or tell them no,
- 9:00they'll accuse you of cheating on them.
- 9:02Yeah, that's the easy part of it.
- 9:03That's the easy thing with it right there.
- 9:06That's the easiest thing. So it's just like in this space
- 9:09right here dealing with narcissistic people, toxic
- 9:12people, y'all. You have to be able to keep
- 9:16moving forward in this space with them.
- 9:19Like you have to be able to set boundaries to to curtail some of
- 9:22those toxic behaviors. You know, of course use
- 9:26discretion because some people will put their hands on you.
- 9:28Some people will hurt you and harm you.
- 9:30Some people will do damage to you.
- 9:32Of course use discretion when this type of stuff is going on,
- 9:35right. Of course use this type of
- 9:37discretion. But you can say no.
- 9:38Y'all. You don't have to say no.
- 9:40You don't have to say yes to every single thing.
- 9:42You can set boundaries. You can say I'm not comfortable
- 9:44with that. I'm not going to talk to you
- 9:45when you. I'm not going to talk to you
- 9:47when you're yelling and screaming.
- 9:48I'm not going to entertain this when you.
- 9:50I'm not going to deal with the silence.
- 9:51I'm just going to leave this type of stuff right here.
- 9:54Set boundaries. Because behind closed doors is
- 9:56where your power lies at too. I mean you, you don't want to
- 10:00embarrass them in public and then come home because that's
- 10:02that's probably one of the worst things you can do if you
- 10:04embarrass them in public. Like, why don't you?
- 10:05I like this behind closed doors. Buckle, buckle your safety bills
- 10:08up. Y'all because y'all might.
- 10:09You might be in for a a wild, wild rodeo in these types of
- 10:13situations. So protect your peace and
- 10:14protect yourself. Y'all behind closed doors,
- 10:17that's who they really are. Behind closed doors, this is who
- 10:19they really are. This is the most authentic
- 10:21version of them that you are going to get.
- 10:23And they're not. They're not always mean behind
- 10:25closed doors. Of course, y'all, every day is a
- 10:27different day. You don't.
- 10:28You don't. And that's part of the dynamic,
- 10:31the dilemma of dealing with a narcissist.
- 10:33You never know what version of the person you're going to get.
- 10:36You never know what version of this person is going to show up
- 10:40and do this and do that. You never know what version of
- 10:42the person is going to come in the front door or come in the
- 10:45back door or side door. Get on the elevator.
- 10:47You don't know what version of the person is opening up the
- 10:50garage door. You say me with y'all.
- 10:53Let me cut this thing short. Make sure y'all hop over to
- 10:55Amazon. Like I said, it's called
- 10:57Remember it's not your fault as the kids, but you read it to
- 11:00your kids. If your kids are old enough to
- 11:01read it to themselves that's cool.
- 11:03But it's like from you know, you can read it to your babies and
- 11:05whatnot. But no, I would say about to 8
- 11:07years old. It's only it's from kids to 8.
