The Mind Of a Narcissist When They re Giving You The Silent Treatment · The Mental Healness Podcast

• 0:00
  The silent treatment. What goes on inside the mind of
• 0:04
  a narcissist when they're giving you the silent treatment, when
• 0:08
  they're just cutting off all forms of communication with you,
• 0:11
  when they're pretending like you don't exist, when they're
• 0:13
  treating you like you're the ghost man.
• 0:15
  You remember back in the day, you used to play baseball.
• 0:17
  You didn't have enough people to play.
• 0:18
  You used to put a ghost man on 1st, ghost man on 2nd.
• 0:21
  They're treating you like one of those ghost man.
• 0:23
  Ghost man on 1st. I got a hit again, but that's
• 0:26
  what we talked about today. Y'all, Of course, if you're new
• 0:28
  here, my name is Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnose narcissist.
• 0:30
  And what was another episode of The Narcissist called?
• 0:32
  Let's get it. Welcome back, folks, welcome
• 0:51
  back, welcome back. We're going to roll y'all.
• 0:53
  We record, we doing good, we feeling good, we're up, we're up
• 0:57
  and it's stuck. But yeah, yeah, narcissistic
• 1:01
  people and the silent treatment. Y'all don't know, may y'all
• 1:05
  might. Y'all been rocking me for a
• 1:06
  while right now. If you know, unless you knew
• 1:07
  here, right? Like I consider the solid
• 1:11
  treatment from a narcissist a form of narcissistic rage.
• 1:15
  And that might not be true for everybody, right?
• 1:17
  Most people don't think the silent treatment is rage, but I
• 1:19
  see the silent treatment from a narcissist by a narcissist as a
• 1:23
  form of rage. I call it silent rate because
• 1:25
  it's so angry at you. They're so pissed off that they
• 1:27
  just removed the communication. Like covert narcissist uses
• 1:31
  silent treatment where a narcissist, overt malignant
• 1:34
  narcissist use rage. Narcissistic rage and the silent
• 1:38
  treatment both come from the same place.
• 1:41
  They're both rage, it just expressed differently.
• 1:44
  And I think a lot of people don't realize that like
• 1:46
  narcissistic rage and the silent treatment are both rages, but
• 1:50
  they're just expressed in a different way.
• 1:52
  They're expressed in a different manner.
• 1:53
  You know what I mean? But yeah, what goes inside that
• 1:56
  narcissistic noggin when they're giving you the silent treatment?
• 2:02
  I think the first thing that goes on is of course, the anger,
• 2:06
  the rage, of course, right? But it's also sometimes it's a
• 2:09
  sign of it's like sometimes, sometimes they're feeling good,
• 2:12
  like inside of Monova narcissist.
• 2:14
  They might be smiling or smizing, right?
• 2:16
  You're smiling with your eyes. They might be feeling fantastic
• 2:20
  because they're able to give you the silent treatment because
• 2:23
  they're able to be silent to you and to hurt you and to harm you
• 2:26
  in a brain turmoil and disarray to your life.
• 2:29
  A lot of times they're just like this.
• 2:30
  They enjoy doing this type of stuff because it's there's a
• 2:33
  direct benefit to in it for them.
• 2:35
  So they give you the silent treatment because they like it.
• 2:38
  Like there's so many people, there's so many narcissistic
• 2:41
  people, They get pleasure in your pain.
• 2:44
  So if you're a great, a great communicator, if communication
• 2:47
  is one of your love languages or something, a way to your, of
• 2:50
  communication, of communicating directly with you is a way to
• 2:54
  your soul, then you're going to understand why a lot why a lot
• 2:57
  of narcissists like to give you the silent treatment because
• 3:00
  they're feeling good. They're they want to see you
• 3:02
  give them a reaction. So if they're giving you the
• 3:04
  silent treatment and you're crying or you're begging them to
• 3:07
  talk to you, there a lot of time inside of their minds and
• 3:10
  sometimes you can see it on their face.
• 3:11
  Sometimes they're smiling right. They sometimes they're smiling.
• 3:16
  They're feeling good about themselves.
• 3:18
  You can see it. You can see a smirk coming
• 3:19
  across their face when you're crying in front of them, begging
• 3:22
  them to talk to you can. You please talk to me.
• 3:23
  Please can you just open your mouth and what did I tell you
• 3:27
  what I did wrong? Can you please explain to me
• 3:29
  what I did wrong? And they're like, you see the
• 3:33
  damn Cheshire Cheshire cat smile, come on the side of their
• 3:37
  grin, come on the side of their face.
• 3:41
  You know that big ass grin come on the side of their face That'd
• 3:45
  be happening too. That that happens.
• 3:50
  They they'll feel good and do that type of stuff to you.
• 3:53
  They'll feel good and just give you the side of treatment.
• 3:55
  That's the mind of a narcissist, y'all.
• 3:57
  They want to feel good. They want to feel this pleasure
• 3:59
  from torturing you, from hurting you, from harming you.
• 4:02
  They bring this pain to your life because they like it.
• 4:05
  A lot of narcissists like it. A lot of narcissists love it.
• 4:07
  So sometimes they're in their in their minds when they give you
• 4:09
  the silent treatment, they're happy, they're elated, they're
• 4:12
  overjoyed. And sometimes they express that
• 4:15
  in their face because now they express it in their eyes.
• 4:18
  It's like some of them will just ignore you completely, don't
• 4:20
  care if you're crying. But some of them, you will see
• 4:22
  them smiling when you're crying, but they're giving you the
• 4:25
  silent treatment. You see what I'm saying?
• 4:27
  They want to be the ones that make you cry.
• 4:28
  It's sick. It's sick.
• 4:29
  It's a sick mindset. You do have these sadistic
• 4:31
  masochistic narcissists out here, y'all, they take pleasure
• 4:33
  in your pain and take pleasure in hurting or hurting
• 4:35
  themselves. They'll blow themselves up to
• 4:37
  hurt you or to harm you, right? That's, that's where it goes.
• 4:40
  And it, you know, and that's how it goes and that's how it
• 4:43
  happens. But I will say that to say this
• 4:45
  right here, y'all, there are a ton of abusive narcissists that
• 4:49
  when they're giving you the silent treatment, they are
• 4:52
  confused as hell, Lee, confused as hell.
• 4:56
  Like what do you mean they're confused?
• 4:58
  Sometimes they don't know why they're even mad.
• 5:02
  Like if they have an ignorant stupid ass reason why they're
• 5:05
  giving you the silent treatment, it's embarrassing.
• 5:08
  So they're confused on how to get out of it, right?
• 5:11
  Like it's sometimes they'll give you the silent treatment for
• 5:13
  something that they perceived that you did wrong, not
• 5:17
  something that you've actually done something that you, they
• 5:20
  perceive that you have done wrong.
• 5:24
  A perception. Like y'all were out at dinner
• 5:27
  and the waiter or the waitress made a joke and you smiled and
• 5:31
  you laughed at the joke and they stopped talking to you.
• 5:34
  That's a stupid ass reason to stop talking to somebody.
• 5:38
  And so they can't really say that out loud.
• 5:39
  You waited, made a joke and you laughed.
• 5:41
  That's embarrassing that some of them will say it because they,
• 5:44
  they just don't, they, some of them have very little.
• 5:46
  They they're ashamed, knows no bounds, right, but some of them
• 5:50
  just just embarrassed to say that type of stuff out loud
• 5:52
  because how stupid it sounds. It sounds completely ignorant.
• 5:56
  It sounds dumb as hell and it doesn't make any sense coming
• 5:59
  from a standpoint of somebody who has a fully functional brain
• 6:02
  like yourself, right? You like what the hell?
• 6:03
  Why you, why are you mad at me again?
• 6:06
  And they'll tell you the ignorance of their their what
• 6:08
  they're mad at you like what you what, what did I do?
• 6:11
  And you will say you like I ain't even do nothing to you.
• 6:13
  You mad at me because something, what?
• 6:16
  So in their minds, they're confused, they're embarrassed.
• 6:19
  There's a lot of shame going on inside of their mind because
• 6:22
  they don't have a valid reason to be angry.
• 6:24
  But yet they're still angry, right?
• 6:28
  They, they, they're still angry as hell.
• 6:30
  They'll piss off and whatnot. And that's just how it goes.
• 6:35
  They'll be pissed off, they'll be angry in their mind.
• 6:37
  So sometimes their, their own shame from giving you the silent
• 6:41
  treatment for a stupid ass reason leads to them being angry
• 6:44
  and they take that anger out on you as well.
• 6:47
  They, yeah, I know how dumb and how ignorant it sounds, but this
• 6:52
  is how the mind of a narcissist works.
• 6:54
  There's a lot of stupidity is going on in there.
• 6:56
  It's a little marble bouncing around.
• 6:59
  You ever seen the narcissist shake their head left and right?
• 7:01
  Get a little you get a little narcissistic marble rolling
• 7:04
  around in the head. Some of them are empty brain.
• 7:07
  They're like, it's empty up there.
• 7:11
  So they don't have the capacity to do much but just be angry and
• 7:15
  give you the silent treatment, right?
• 7:17
  But again, there are some nurses out there who absolutely are
• 7:20
  trying to punish you. The silent treatment is your
• 7:25
  punishment. They're punishing you.
• 7:27
  You deserve this. You don't deserve to hear my
• 7:29
  voice. You don't deserve to feel good.
• 7:31
  You. You deserve this hurt.
• 7:33
  You deserve this pain. Everything that you're going
• 7:35
  through right now, everything you experience right now because
• 7:38
  of this silence you deserve. So some of them are actively
• 7:41
  trying to punish you and or teach you a lesson because This
• 7:44
  is why they give you the solid treatment right now.
• 7:47
  They're trying to teach you a lesson.
• 7:48
  They're trying to put you in your place, so to speak.
• 7:50
  And when they're trying to put you in your place, what can you
• 7:52
  do? They're actively trying to put
• 7:54
  you in your place. What can you do right here?
• 7:57
  You know, this is some big time stuff right here that you have
• 8:00
  to learn how to deal with as they're going along, after
• 8:03
  making things work, as they're trying to operate in this space,
• 8:07
  they're trying to do this type of stuff.
• 8:08
  It's completely stupid, y'all. It is completely dumb.
• 8:13
  Like there are a lot of narcissists who just don't know
• 8:15
  how to communicate, so they give you the silent treatment.
• 8:18
  You don't know how to express themselves, so they just give
• 8:20
  you the silent treatment. They have so much that they want
• 8:22
  to say, but in my mind, I'm ashamed to say it.
• 8:25
  So I give you the silent treatment.
• 8:26
  I go without saying it like in the mind of a narcissist,
• 8:29
  especially y'all, especially if you're trying, like if I, if
• 8:32
  you're trying to hold me accountable and I know I've done
• 8:35
  something wrong, The easiest way for me to not to deal with it is
• 8:39
  the easiest way to deal with it is just not to deal with it.
• 8:41
  It's nothing to talk about it. So sometimes in my mind when I'm
• 8:44
  give you the solid treatment, I'm hoping that this just blows
• 8:47
  over. I'm not even mad at anything.
• 8:48
  I'm embarrassed. I'm hoping, I'm hoping whatever
• 8:51
  you're angry at, whatever you're pissed off at, I'm hoping that
• 8:54
  it just blows over and you get over and we could just move
• 8:57
  forward how we've been moving forward.
• 8:59
  That's how it goes right there with some narcissists.
• 9:01
  They're just hoping and praying that you get over everything
• 9:05
  that they've done to you and you move on and they just, you just
• 9:08
  release it. You just release everything
• 9:10
  that's going on. And should you release it?
• 9:12
  Hell no. What you should do during the
• 9:15
  silent treatment, y'all, is learn to enjoy the silence.
• 9:18
  You've heard me say this before. Learn to enjoy the damn silence,
• 9:24
  learn how to get past it because the more you enjoy it, the less
• 9:28
  they're going to want to do it again.
• 9:30
  If you have that narcissist like I spoke to earlier, the first
• 9:33
  type of narcissist I spoke about the one that takes pleasure and
• 9:35
  the one that's happy in your pain.
• 9:37
  If they're trying to cause you pain and they see you over there
• 9:40
  at knitting or sewing or reading a book or doom scrolling on
• 9:45
  TikTok or Instagram, laughing at cat memes, painting the cat,
• 9:49
  dancing, singing, doing something.
• 9:51
  If they see you enjoying yourself, there's going to
• 9:55
  that's going to make a damn narcissist damn near self self
• 9:57
  self destruct is going to make their minds damn their self
• 10:00
  destruct because they're going to be so pissed off of how
• 10:02
  things are going. They'll be pissed off and how
• 10:05
  you're actively making things work out for yourself.
• 10:07
  They're going to be pissed off and angry and how things are
• 10:10
  working, how things are working out.
• 10:12
  That's the that's how it goes right there, y'all.
• 10:14
  That really is the process of what goes on and how it goes and
• 10:18
  the next the kind of the next best thing and that's the next
• 10:21
  set of things right there. Now you learn how to enjoy the
• 10:24
  silence. Learn how learn, learn the solid
• 10:25
  treatment is not really about you.
• 10:28
  It's about that little narcissistic boy or girl,
• 10:30
  narcissistic person that's in there that's pouting.
• 10:34
  The solid treatment in and of itself.
• 10:36
  Y'all in in like in the grand scheme of things, the silent
• 10:39
  treatment is really just an adult version of a temper
• 10:41
  tantrum. Narcissistic rage is a is a dope
• 10:44
  version of a temper tantrum as well.
• 10:46
  But the silent treatment is too. The silent treatment is me not
• 10:49
  knowing how to communicate. So me throwing the temper
• 10:50
  tantrum and trying to hold you accountable, trying to hold you
• 10:53
  accountable for my temper tantrum, me trying to hold you
• 10:57
  to account for my own temper tantrum because for how I'm
• 11:00
  feeling and how I'm behaving and how I'm acting, that's what the
• 11:04
  solid treatment is. It's just an adult version of a
• 11:07
  temper tantrum. And that's one thing that so
• 11:09
  many people need to realize and so many people need to learn how
• 11:11
  to deal with is that I'm giving you the solid treatment because
• 11:14
  I feel bad about something that I myself have done.
• 11:17
  I myself have done this to you, and I feel horrible about it and
• 11:22
  I don't know how to communicate. So what I do is just give you
• 11:25
  the silent treatment. I just retreat.
• 11:27
  I retreat. The silent treatment really in
• 11:28
  and of itself is a temper tantrum, temper tantrum.
• 11:31
  And it's also retreat. You can, you can refer to it as
• 11:33
  instead of, instead of the side of treatment, start referring to
• 11:36
  it as narcissistic retreat because that's what they're
• 11:39
  doing. They're retreating from the
• 11:39
  situation. They're trying to avoid whatever
• 11:41
  they're trying to punish you. They're not trying to handle a
• 11:43
  situation head on and have a, an emotional, have a, an adult
• 11:46
  conversation about anything to resolve the issues.
