Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we're talking about how your reactions can provide fuel
- 0:07for a narcissist. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:09Lee Hammond. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:10narcissist here to help people heal and grow.
- 0:13And welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Code.
- 0:32Boom, Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
- 0:34Y'all notice you're new. What?
- 0:36So what? What was new at the beginning of
- 0:37the episode right there? What was new at the beginning?
- 0:39Did you hear anything different? My O GS will know.
- 0:43If you're new here, make sure we go ahead and hit the subscribe
- 0:45button. But yes, y'all, we're talking
- 0:47about reactive abuse, pretty much reactive abuse and how
- 0:52narcissistic people get rewarded sometimes for your reactions get
- 0:58fueled up and empowered by how you react to them, about how you
- 1:03behave around them, about what you do and how you are perceived
- 1:08by what the from their actions. Yo, narcissist, I'm going to
- 1:13tell you this right here. This is quite like, you know how
- 1:15there's different types of gas? You know, you get, you get the
- 1:188789 and 93 and diesel, diesel fuel for like the different, the
- 1:23cars run on different power. So narcissistic people run on
- 1:27diesel fuel. If you were talking about gas,
- 1:29what type of gas they run on, not the 87, not the little cheap
- 1:32stuff, the cheap stuff that I use, but diesel fuel, $10 a
- 1:38gallon. Your reactions are diesel fuel
- 1:41for narcissistic people. And I'm being real because
- 1:44that's how it goes. They absolutely get powered up
- 1:50off of causing you to react, off of making you look like the
- 1:55aggressor, off of making you look like and be perceived as
- 1:59the, as the antagonistic person. They absolutely love it.
- 2:06This is why I'm big, so big on controlling your reactions.
- 2:10This is why you hear me say it all the time.
- 2:12Lee, why are you talking about controlling our reactions?
- 2:13Why can't we? Why can't we react?
- 2:16I'm tired of being quiet. I'm tired of doing this.
- 2:18I'm tired of doing it. Look, I'm not telling you to be
- 2:20quiet. I'm telling you to, to, to, to
- 2:22come at them in a way that doesn't make you look like the
- 2:25enemy. And, and like saying and pick it
- 2:28like pick, pick and choose your points, Pick your battles.
- 2:31It's a yeah, it's a war. It's a narcissistic war.
- 2:35You got to pick and choose your you're not going to win every
- 2:37battle. So you got to pick and choose
- 2:38which battles you want to fight. You know you don't want to fight
- 2:42a battle out in public when they were like when they use dog
- 2:45whistling to get you to react out of character, right?
- 2:48They mean they start, look, it's a plan, Y'all.
- 2:50It's a sinister plan. They might wake up on E they
- 2:54sputter and they look they're running on narcissistic fumes.
- 2:58The the supply is low. They like I need, I need some
- 3:00gas and I'm not I I might not make it to the gas station.
- 3:03So let me wake up this morning and start something unnecessary.
- 3:07Let me wake up this morning and start poking and prodding my
- 3:10partner because you know how this reactive of me starts.
- 3:13They start poking you and prodding you.
- 3:16They start doing things just to, you know, just to annoy you a
- 3:19little bit and they annoy your annoyance grow.
- 3:23As your annoyance grows, so does the amount of gas they get.
- 3:27They, they, they, you know, they are running in parallel.
- 3:29As your annoyance grows and your reactions start to get a little
- 3:33more volatile, they get more gas and it's going, it's going to go
- 3:36past it sooner or later. Y'all, it's like a graph.
- 3:38You see that graph right there? A line chart.
- 3:42That's what happens. So once they start to poke you
- 3:45and poke you and poke you, and then you go out somewhere with
- 3:47them and they poke you and they trigger you just the right way,
- 3:50boom, you react. You're yelling and screaming at
- 3:53your partner in a Bistro. You're in the middle of a
- 3:55Bistro. Having a having some, having
- 3:58some kombucha, having a little, some impact, impact kombucha.
- 4:03You have to yell and scream at your partner because they got
- 4:06they set you off because they said something that they that
- 4:08they knew would trigger you. You told them to leave you
- 4:10alone. You said, hey, can you stop
- 4:11saying that? Hey, can you stop doing it?
- 4:13And they wouldn't stop. They actually start doing it
- 4:15more because they know it worked.
- 4:17They know it worked. So they kept doing it, kept
- 4:19doing it, kept doing it. You're trying to, you're trying
- 4:21to enjoy your kombucha. They do it again.
- 4:23Boom, you explode. Now they are on fool.
- 4:26Now they went from like, you know how that little the little
- 4:29orange light comes on in your car?
- 4:31Now it's full. That's the F.
- 4:33It's full. It's green, full B.
- 4:35I'm full. Because now you look like the
- 4:37antagonist. You look like the bad person.
- 4:40Yeah, This is why I do so many videos.
- 4:42And you you keep hearing me repeat this thing like a mantra.
- 4:46Control your reactions. Control your reactions.
- 4:48Control your reactions. I'm repeating it like a mantra
- 4:51because it needs to be in your head.
- 4:53You break no contact. They get more fuel you reach out
- 4:57to them, they get more fuel. You, like I said, you try to
- 5:01tell you they turn one of you they they use the smear campaign
- 5:06to turn one one or more of your family and friends against you.
- 5:10They get more fuel. They are fueled the hell up
- 5:13right now. They they look, they pumping it.
- 5:15They pumping premium right now. So that's what I'm telling you
- 5:18right now. Y'all, this is one thing that
- 5:20you have to work on. I know people when I say this
- 5:23one thing people keep repeating to me like Lee, that's not fair,
- 5:25Y'all? It's not fair being with a toxic
- 5:26narcissistic bastard that doesn't listen to you.
- 5:29That's not fair. So the best thing that you can
- 5:32do in this situation to empower yourself is to keep moving
- 5:35forward and not give them the benefit of your reaction.
- 5:37It's not giving them the fuel of your reaction.
- 5:39You want them on E. You want them on E because when
- 5:43they are on E and they realize that this guy, look, this little
- 5:46empathetic gas station is closed down, they might leave you
- 5:50alone. Notice I notice I said might.
- 5:53So you know some people go around, you know some people
- 5:55when you when you really out of money at the gas pump.
- 5:56I don't know if y'all ever been here.
- 5:57I've been here before. You really out of money at the
- 5:59gas pump. You try to get every little bit
- 6:01of fuel. You're shaking the tip of it
- 6:03like I need every I need every drop.
- 6:05They're going to try to shake you for the drops of fuel.
- 6:08They're going to keep doing things to try to get a reaction
- 6:10from you. Like I said, every reaction is
- 6:12not going to be a big over the top reaction like you yelling
- 6:15and screaming. Sometimes your reaction could
- 6:17just be you breaking no contact. Like you've blocked them, you've
- 6:20moved on, you're healing and growing.
- 6:22And then all of a sudden you start to miss them.
- 6:23You start to miss them. And instead of controlling your
- 6:25reactions and and redirecting your energy, redirecting your
- 6:29your redirecting what you have going on, you reach out to them,
- 6:34you talk to them, you say, Hey, I miss you, Boo.
- 6:37Hey, come get these cheeks. And you get like if they go from
- 6:40abusing you to for and you go in no contact with them to them
- 6:43clapping the cheeks. Oh my goodness, y'all they don't
- 6:45F again. You just filled them up.
- 6:47You just filled them up and now your tank is on E because you
- 6:50feel ashamed of yourself because of what you did.
- 6:53So This is why I'm telling by telling people right here, you
- 6:55have to find a way to divert the stream.
- 6:59You know, you have to find a way to divert the stream.
- 7:01It's like running water is damn near an unstoppable force.
- 7:04That's why you see people. You can't look, you can't do
- 7:07anything about a damn tsunami, a tsunami, a tsunami.
- 7:12You can't do anything about that, can you?
- 7:14They said, hey, the tsunami is coming, get out the damn way.
- 7:17You can't do anything about that pressure, that water.
- 7:19But if I said you people build up walls and things like that.
- 7:23People build dams and stuff to redirect water.
- 7:25They don't try to stop it. They try to redirect it.
- 7:28They try to redirect the flow. So you have to redirect.
- 7:31If you feel it like you missed them, find the reason not to
- 7:33miss them. Pull out that damn journal that
- 7:35I told you to write down 1000 times the bad stuff that they've
- 7:38been doing to you. Read it, read it.
- 7:42I rather you read it and hurt your feelings by reading this
- 7:44stuff. Then they contact them and it
- 7:47hurt your feelings. One is like, one is like it's
- 7:51kind of self-inflicted, but it's like a little, it's a scratch.
- 7:54It's a scratch. The other is a is, is is
- 7:57self-inflicted because you reach out to them.
- 7:58But it's a cut. You just put a what's that?
- 8:01What's that Gordon Ramsay stuff? You just put a hex clad knife in
- 8:05your arm. It cuts itself open.
- 8:08So you are in control of your own destiny.
- 8:12That's what I want people to realize.
- 8:13That's what I want you to realize.
- 8:15You are in control of your own destiny.
- 8:17You are in charge. You really are.
- 8:19You know, you might not feel like it all the time, Lee.
- 8:21I don't feel like I don't feel like I'm in charge.
- 8:22I understand that, but you are but you.
- 8:25But you is you is you is in charge.
- 8:29You might not feel like it, but you absolutely are did The power
- 8:32dynamic has shifted to you and you have to see what you want to
- 8:36do with it. Like stop giving them fuel and
- 8:38give it to yourself. Yeah, you might feel down a
- 8:40little while, but controlling your reactions and your
- 8:42responses and your replies empower you and don't power
- 8:47them. You don't want to get
- 8:49continuously give narcissistic people power because you might
- 8:52be free and clear of this toxic narcissistic bastard.
- 8:55And then all of a sudden you get weak, you get sad and tell you
- 8:58something to miss them. You get lonely, you let them
- 9:00clap the cheeks and now y'all got a baby on the way.
- 9:02Now you trapped forever. Now you stuck with dealing with
- 9:05dealing with them forever depending on depending on your
- 9:10belief system I'll say that. But that's what you, you're
- 9:13stuck forever with this person in most cases.
- 9:19And if you're not United States, you know what they're trying to
- 9:21do now you might be stuck with like that might become a, that
- 9:23might become a weapon of narcissistic people.
- 9:25You think about it, they might because it's somebody, some, so
- 9:28many people repeal some of these laws and install some of these
- 9:32laws. That's going to be a weapon that
- 9:33narcissistic people use because you can't get if you cannot, if
- 9:37you it's illegal to get rid of babies or get rid of, you know,
- 9:40have some abortions. The narcissistic people are
- 9:44going to try to get you pregnant on purpose to be stuck with you
- 9:47in their life or try to get pregnant by you on purpose.
- 9:50You can't get rid of it. No, that's against the law.
- 9:52So y'all got to watch out as these laws shift to benefit
- 9:55toxicity. Y'all got to watch out.
- 9:58So that's what I'm saying, controlling your reaction.
- 10:00I know sometimes you're not in control because some people,
- 10:02they take it from you and they should go to damn jail.
- 10:05But you are in charge most of the time in these situations
- 10:08because they fuel up off your reactions.
- 10:10Your the bigger the reaction, the better quality the fuel.
- 10:13You know, what's that grocery store at?
- 10:15What's that grocery that that rich folk grocery store in in
- 10:19California? Erwin.
- 10:20Erwin. Someone like that is like going
- 10:23from shopping at Walmart and shopping at Erwin.
- 10:25You, you choose. You choose.
- 10:28Yeah, I know I'm not a rich folk.
- 10:29So I'm like, I don't know the name of the place, but you are
- 10:33in charge. You're in control.
- 10:34You have to empower yourself. You really truly do.
- 10:39So stop giving them reactions. Stop feeding them now.
- 10:41Don't feed them your reactions. We're not, we're not feeding
- 10:45them no more. We're not feeding these toxic
- 10:47narcissistic bastards no more of our reactions.
- 10:50We're not giving them any more power because your reactions are
- 10:53your power. Your reactions are also their
- 10:56fuel and make you feel bad about yourself and make you get down
- 10:58to yourself. So the more the better you get
- 11:00of controlling your reactions, the better you off you will be.
- 11:03And this is not me trying to let me end it with this right here.
- 11:05This is not me trying to make it seem like it's an easy thing to
- 11:07do or it's not going to hurt or it's not going to be hard.
- 11:10It's going to be hurt. It's going to hurt.
- 11:11It's going to be hard as hell sometimes to control those
- 11:13reactions. You know, because they're going
- 11:14to say something crazy and you want to pop off like I'm not
- 11:17saying you going you got it's not a perfect science.
- 11:19You going to pop off sometimes. Y'all you going to pop off
- 11:22sometimes you like say you going to pop off sometimes and just
- 11:26make sure you don't pop out to the point where you end up going
- 11:28to jail. And then they they really do
- 11:29win. They own they own maximum E
- 11:32maximum F. So control your reactions.
- 11:35Empower yourself because you yeah, you deserve for the best
- 11:38type of life that you can go over and get like seriously
- 11:41empower yourself. Take care of yourself.
