- 0:06talking about why narcissist some narcissist think that they
- 0:10are impasse Lee what they what narcissist not not they.
- 0:15Some of them think that they are.
- 0:16And we're going to get into detail in that in just a few
- 0:18seconds. Y'all, if you're new here, my
- 0:20name is Lee Hammock. I'm a diagnosed narcissist and
- 0:22welcome to another episode of The Narcissist Go.
- 0:41Boom. Welcome back folks, welcome
- 0:42back, welcome back. Yes, y'all, that tricky,
- 0:45slippery, slippery snake, narcissistic person in your life
- 0:48might actually in the back of their mind think that they are
- 0:52an empath. But Lee, how the hell does that
- 0:54happen? Like narcissists have to know
- 0:57that they have a lack of empathy that there are demons.
- 0:59Don't don't they feel the their insides burning from the the
- 1:02lake of fire from whence from whence they came from whence
- 1:06they were birthed? Don't they feel the insides on
- 1:08fire? How can they be an impact?
- 1:10Now I know people think like that.
- 1:12There are a lot of people out there who think the darses or
- 1:14demons and I they say I don't necessarily believe it, but I I
- 1:17understand the sentiment of where people coming from because
- 1:19you get hurt and you I get it. Trust me, but there are so many
- 1:24people out here that are dealing with narcissistic people that
- 1:27are dealing with toxic people that have a partner or parent or
- 1:30friend or whoever it is in their life, a boss that they're that
- 1:34truly believe that they might be an empath.
- 1:36But why do why Lee? Why do they think that?
- 1:39Because y'all narcissistic people tend to live in the
- 1:44physical, the physical element of expression.
- 1:49Like what is a narcissist love language?
- 1:51Most narcissists, the people that I've seen their love
- 1:54language. So for some reason, y'all for
- 1:55some wild reason just happens to be physical touch.
- 1:58I have no idea why it's physical touch.
- 2:01Because they live in the physical.
- 2:03They live in the act of giving and receiving.
- 2:05It's always, it's never, it's never really going to be that
- 2:08deep emotional stuff. It's always going to be be
- 2:10levels to it, right? And a lot of times those levels
- 2:13are going to be on the physical, the physical, the physicality of
- 2:16it. So when narcissists, the people
- 2:18all here doing good deeds and giving this donated to charity
- 2:24and doing things like that, doing physical acts, they think
- 2:28that they are empathetic, being empathetic in those moments.
- 2:32That's how narcissists think they love you.
- 2:34When an art like if you ask a narcissist if they love you most
- 2:37of the time, a lot of times their answer is going to be I'm
- 2:39here art na. They think their presence in
- 2:42showing up in certain places in certain certain scenarios makes
- 2:46them empathetic, makes them loving.
- 2:48I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you.
- 2:50They think that their presence is enough to demonstrate love.
- 2:53They think that the act of giving something physically
- 2:56makes them an empathetic person, makes them an empath.
- 3:00Like you might call them a narcissist.
- 3:02You might look at like they might do something horrible to
- 3:04you, right? They might put their they might
- 3:06actually smack you across your face, right, or might cheat on
- 3:09you or steal something. They might steal something from
- 3:11you, right, or might just tell you a lot to your face.
- 3:17You called them out on it. You like, and they try to
- 3:19gaslight you. They try to manipulate you, and
- 3:22then you call them narcissists. You like.
- 3:23Look, there's you been a you been a narcissist right now.
- 3:25You've been super narcissistic right now and they, if they know
- 3:28what narcissist is or they hear their word before, they might
- 3:32just say, oh, I'm being an impact right now.
- 3:34I'm kind. I'm I'm being a thoughtful
- 3:37person trying to rationalize with you.
- 3:39You're the one who's not taking accountability for what you have
- 3:41done. I know what I've done.
- 3:43What have you done, though? You're not taking accountability
- 3:45for what you've done. And and that's what narcissists
- 3:48do. Narcissists don't take
- 3:49accountability and that's what you're not doing right now.
- 3:52You're not taking accountability.
- 3:53So, IE, if the if the effect, though, being bang, boom, bang,
- 3:56you're the narcissist, all righty then.
- 4:01Oh, isn't, but that's what happens, y'all?
- 4:03That's what like, that's how you have to like when you are
- 4:05dealing with this toxic relationship dynamics, this is
- 4:08the stuff you're going to encounter.
- 4:09Let's be real. This is the type of stuff, this
- 4:12is type of people you're going to be dealing with.
- 4:14It's going to hurt, it's going to suck.
- 4:16It's going to be yeah, there's so many moving pieces when
- 4:19you're in these abusive relationship situation, when you
- 4:21need manipulative situation, there's so many moving pieces
- 4:23going on all right that it sucks to even have to deal with.
- 4:26It sucks to even have to like conjure up to deal with this
- 4:30person who might actually truly believe in their delusional
- 4:33brains that they are being empathetic just because they
- 4:35give look, they do everything. Everything else in their life
- 4:38they do is bad. They lie, they cheat, they
- 4:41steal, they never take accountability.
- 4:43They never show up on time. They whatever it is, y'all, they
- 4:46have delusions of grandeur. They future fake.
- 4:48They've been in the 40, they've been in the 49 relationships.
- 4:51All their exes are crazy, whatever it is, for some reason
- 4:55they're my the way the narcissist mind copes with all
- 4:58of this is by saying I'm trying to come from a place of empathy
- 5:01or trying to come from a place of being correct or being good
- 5:04narcissist. A lot of narcissist biggest fear
- 5:07is being perceived or being looked at as a bad person.
- 5:10And the easiest way to not be looked at as a bad person is to
- 5:13do good stuff. So you'll get the communal
- 5:15narcissist, right? You'll get the communal, I mean
- 5:17my communal narcissist, the narcissist that does good deeds
- 5:20for validation, the narcissist that has a good job helping
- 5:23people. They, they get validation from
- 5:25you get the nurse or the police officer, the abuse, the abusive
- 5:28ass police officer, the, the fidgety cheating firefighter,
- 5:32the, the, the devious Dr. the, the, the, the, the pimpin
- 5:39pastor, whatever it is. There's so many different
- 5:41scenarios in the cases and whatnot where like they use
- 5:45their positions of power to present their positions of
- 5:48prestige to get narcissistic supply from because you
- 5:51automatically think about some of the worst stories I've ever
- 5:54heard come from come from are are about fake ass religious
- 5:58people, right? Some of the worst stories out
- 6:00here, like, yeah, we are. I think most people understand
- 6:03this dynamic that Christianity, especially in America, has been
- 6:06Co opted by some wild ass. Just it's been it's been there's
- 6:10a, it's been replaced with something.
- 6:12You mean it's been replaced with a, with a, with a dark clone or
- 6:16something like that? But in these spaces right here,
- 6:20when you're dealing with narcissistic people, that's what
- 6:23you have to think about. Like they think that they're
- 6:25good people because they go to church.
- 6:26I'm an empath. I go to church.
- 6:28Well, you just beat up, beat me up last night.
- 6:30I go to church. Why do you cheat on me?
- 6:34I'm a firefighter. I put up fires.
- 6:35I say flies. I'm an empath.
- 6:36You see what I'm saying? They think because they do good
- 6:39deeds or have jobs in the fields where they do good deeds, that
- 6:43they are perceived. They they they should be
- 6:45perceived as being empathetic. They can really be the crux of
- 6:49it right there. They can really look in these
- 6:52situations like they are like their impacts, like there are
- 6:55good people because this is how they feel.
- 6:57This is where the bond goes. They just well, I'm a
- 6:59firefighter. I put out fires.
- 7:01I'm a police officer. Yeah.
- 7:02I cheated on you. Yeah.
- 7:03I beat you. You got pistol with you.
- 7:04Yeah, I did this. But you did you hear about that
- 7:07story, that drug bust I got the other day?
- 7:09Did you hear about me saving those kids?
- 7:11Yeah. So I'm an empath.
- 7:13They think that they by doing good deeds and by doing this
- 7:16type of stuff that they are actually being, being good.
- 7:19Y'all, this is real. This is me being real.
- 7:21This is they, they think that they're being good people.
- 7:23They think that they're being empathetic.
- 7:25Like this is how the mind of a lot of abusive narcissist works.
- 7:30They believe that because they're doing good deeds that
- 7:33they are good people regardless of what, regardless of what they
- 7:37a lot of times they only do good deeds to try to wash away the
- 7:41what kind of like watch the bad taste under their mouth from
- 7:44being horrible to you or to other people.
- 7:47I think, I think a lot of y'all can attest to this.
- 7:50I just, I gave it a homeless person on a, I forgot it
- 7:55unhoused person, $20 today. Well, you cheated on me
- 7:59yesterday. You beat me up yesterday.
- 8:01Well, I gave them $20. You know what I'm saying?
- 8:04They tried to wash away the bad stuff by doing good deeds.
- 8:08It doesn't make them a good person.
- 8:09They believe makes them a good person.
- 8:11And a lot of times, and this is how, you know, y'all, they keep
- 8:13a running, they keep a running tally of the good stuff that
- 8:16they do for people. They keep a running count of the
- 8:19good deeds and the good things that they do for other people.
- 8:22They really, really do. That's why you know that they're
- 8:25not doing it. They're not coming from a place,
- 8:28they're not coming from a place of, you know, what's the word?
- 8:32They're not coming from a place of just being altruistic.
- 8:35They're coming from a place of being self-serving.
- 8:38Even in those moments, even in these moments of good deeds,
- 8:42they're coming from a place of being self-serving.
- 8:44That's why you get like some of these narcissistic toxic, like
- 8:47one of the main people, one of the main archetype of of fake
- 8:50impacts, narcissist disguising themselves.
- 8:53The impacts you see online or social media creators, a lot of
- 8:56them will be on like a lot of especially when you film your
- 8:59good deeds. Hey guys, I'm going to go around
- 9:02today giving food to the homeless and they just, they
- 9:04might be doing something else horrible people on the planet,
- 9:07but they're giving food to the unhoused or the homeless, the
- 9:10folks, they're doing stuff like that.
- 9:12I just do, hey guys, I'm driving all these clothes off at
- 9:14Goodwill. You need to like and subscribe
- 9:16so you can see me keep doing this type of stuff.
- 9:17They do it for the filling. They do it for the validation.
- 9:20I'm a good person. So guess what happens when they
- 9:23keep doing these good deeds, especially if they're doing it
- 9:25doing it doing them to your friends or family members or
- 9:28they do it or they do it in front of a big crowd.
- 9:31And other people might actually start to believe that this
- 9:33person is a good person. Other people might truly start
- 9:36to believe that this person that you're dealing with this part,
- 9:38this fake impact. They might truly believe that
- 9:40they're an empathetic person like blow when you.
- 9:43So when you come out with your story of being abused or hurt or
- 9:46harmed, other people might not believe you because they haven't
- 9:49seen this side of them. Other people might not believe
- 9:52you because they only they only know this version of them right
- 9:55here. Other people might not believe
- 9:57you because they really, truly only know this.
- 10:00They only see the good deeds. Oh, that's a fighter.
- 10:03He's a cop, though. He's a firefighter.
- 10:05So he's a good lawyer. You know what I'm saying?
- 10:08He's a judge. He's a no, I ain't gonna say
- 10:10politician because I don't think anybody can just oh, he's a
- 10:13good, he's a good person 'cause he's a politician.
- 10:15I don't, I haven't heard that just yet.
- 10:17You know, I'm saying he's a, he's an amazing person 'cause
- 10:19he's a politician, but she's amazing person because she's a
- 10:24politician. But we just like politics, just
- 10:25like religion has been Co opted. So it's politics.
- 10:27There's too many political celebrities.
- 10:29We're not going to get it into that.
