Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, Beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we're going to be answering the question, should
- 0:04you take the threats of a narcissist seriously?
- 0:08Should you? If you're new here, my name is
- 0:10Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:11narcissist here to bring you some validation and to help you
- 0:13live a better life. Boom.
- 0:32Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, folks.
- 0:34Yes, yes. I feel like my intro gives me
- 0:37the kind of like the superhero vibe.
- 0:39I'm here. I'm the Super narcissist, you
- 0:41know, super, super narc. But yeah, y'all.
- 0:45So when you're dealing with a narcissist or toxic person or
- 0:47whoever, whatever, you know, should you take that threat
- 0:50seriously? There's a lot of like lot of
- 0:52threatening narcissistic people out there, narcissist, toxic
- 0:56person, sociopath, psychopath, whoever you're dealing with, you
- 0:59know this. Let me say this right here,
- 1:02y'all, because I know people are going to just go ahead and jump
- 1:04over this. Threatening, threatening
- 1:07someone, threatening to do something to someone,
- 1:09threatening to break up with someone doesn't necessarily make
- 1:12you a narcissist. OK?
- 1:14I know people say, well, Lee, I threatened to leave the
- 1:16relationship before. Does that make me a narcissist?
- 1:17No, no, no. Have you been lying and cheating
- 1:22and beating? Then maybe, maybe.
- 1:24But if you, if you're the victim here, no, but that happens quite
- 1:29a bit y'all. So should you take that threat
- 1:32seriously? I'm going to say yes.
- 1:33I, I, I, I will absolutely say yes right here, y'all.
- 1:36But there, there's some nuance to it that I'm going to speak on
- 1:38speak on later. So stay to the stay to the end.
- 1:42But I'm going to say, yes, you should absolutely take the
- 1:45threats of a narcissist seriously.
- 1:48The toxic person that you with seriously, you should take them
- 1:50seriously because narcissistic people like what I've learned
- 1:53from talking and speaking to and interacting with thousands of
- 1:57people over the last four years that I've been having this
- 1:59platform is that I don't put anything past anyone.
- 2:04I just don't do that. And neither should you.
- 2:07Neither should you. You shouldn't put anything past
- 2:10anyone because toxic narcissistic people will keep,
- 2:14will keep doing the same things over and over to you again.
- 2:17Yeah, because you, you just never know how someone will
- 2:21react to what you do. Like if you are wanting to leave
- 2:26them, if you want them to break up with them, whatever.
- 2:28And they say, hey, you know, if you ever leave me, I will hunt
- 2:30you down and, and take your life.
- 2:32Take that seriously, don't take that as a joke.
- 2:34I don't I don't care if they're smiling and being cutesy and
- 2:38y'all just clap some cheeks or whatever.
- 2:39Y'all lying there and post post courtus like you know you're
- 2:43giggling. Y'all see you, you, you little
- 2:46spoon like you being a little spoon and a big spoon threatened
- 2:49to take your life if you decided to leave them.
- 2:51Take that serious. They sound like a joke, but that
- 2:54thought is in their mind. You know, I'm not saying that
- 2:56they will do it, but I'm just saying take that serious.
- 2:58Is is not cute. I know there's some people out
- 3:01there which is like, well, they threaten me, so they must care
- 3:03about me. No, no, no.
- 3:08Threatens. Threatening you does not mean
- 3:09they care about you. Threatening you means that they
- 3:11think you belong to them, that they're claiming some type of
- 3:13ownership over you. That's what threatening you
- 3:15does. That's what threatening you
- 3:17means. It's not that they that they
- 3:19love and care about you so much to the point where there's a lot
- 3:21of different things going on. Threatening you means that
- 3:23they're claiming something on you or they're, they're claiming
- 3:26ownership on you. But yes, so they're, they are
- 3:30claiming a type of ownership on you.
- 3:32Y'all. So those are not cutesy little
- 3:34threats and whatnot. There are so many people that
- 3:37right now are either injured or no longer with us, if you
- 3:40understand, you catch my drift, that are either seriously
- 3:43injured, seriously scarred or seriously traumatized and
- 3:46whatnot, or no longer with us. That didn't take the threat
- 3:50seriously. Oh, no.
- 3:51They always threatened to hurt me or harm me if I left, but
- 3:53then I didn't take them seriously.
- 3:54I always thought they were joking because they had a smile
- 3:56on their face when they said it. No, that type of stuff goes on
- 3:59in the back of their mind and it's rattling around.
- 4:02And the crazy thing and the crazy thing about it is that's,
- 4:06that's the way it goes. You know, it is, is how they
- 4:10look at it. They look at you as property.
- 4:13A lot of times it shifts from them thinking that you know,
- 4:16y'all are a great couple or y'all a power couple.
- 4:18Y'all going to make it, y'all going to survive and it shifts
- 4:20to them thinking you belong to them.
- 4:22So that's what I'm just saying. Y'all take it seriously.
- 4:24Take the threats seriously. I don't care what the threat is.
- 4:27I'm going to like I said, take it like that.
- 4:28Or there are some threats out there that are just like little
- 4:31minor threats. You know, I'm going to leave you
- 4:34if you do this, I'm going to leave you do that.
- 4:36I'm going to take the kids. I'm going to, you know, I'm
- 4:39going to do this. I'm going to do that.
- 4:40Yeah, there are some threats right there this should take
- 4:42seriously. But you know, remember the
- 4:45nuance I told you I was going to bring into it?
- 4:47Take the threats seriously. Take the threat seriously.
- 4:53But ask yourself this question right here.
- 4:57If it's something not not involved in like taking your
- 4:59life or something like that, like if they threat, if they're
- 5:01threatening you to take the kids full time, like I'm going, I'm
- 5:06going to file 100% custody, I'm going to do this, I'm going to
- 5:09do that. If they're threatening to
- 5:10actually do something like that, like take the kids full time,
- 5:13ask yourself the question like, does following through with this
- 5:17threat benefit them? And is this something that they
- 5:20actually want to do? Because a lot of times, I'll say
- 5:23this right here, a lot of times with narcissistic people, the
- 5:26power is in the threat, right? The power is in the actual
- 5:32threat, the power is in the threat.
- 5:35The power is like not following through with it because
- 5:37following through with it, the power is gone, right?
- 5:38So they want to hold on and maintain that power.
- 5:41So they'll just be consistently threatening you to instill some
- 5:45fear in you. Like following through with the
- 5:47threat could ruin their life or it could actually be something
- 5:49that they don't want to do. If you like, ask yourself the
- 5:52question, like taking full custody, part of it right there,
- 5:55right? This is just an example, taking
- 5:57full custody of the kids, like I'm going to file for full
- 5:59custody. Ask yourself this question right
- 6:02here y'all they haven't, they don't know how to change the
- 6:04diaper. They ain't changed the diaper.
- 6:05They haven't done anything else right?
- 6:07They haven't been involved in your kids lives.
- 6:10They they just pay for some stuff here and there.
- 6:11They just y'all been living together.
- 6:13You know, you have married a single parent and in a lot of
- 6:15these situations, right? They don't know your kids school
- 6:18teachers or anything like that. They going to file for full
- 6:19custody. Like they they love going to
- 6:22play golf and you know going to hang out with their friends and
- 6:24going to get mimosas every single day.
- 6:26You think they want you actually think they want full custody.
- 6:28They want to go from zero time to 100% time.
- 6:32No, but they know that. They know that that that threat
- 6:35right there puts fear into your heart and that threat right
- 6:38there could activate some keep you from acting on something.
- 6:42You actually have the power, but they want to their their power
- 6:46is in the actual threat. They don't want to follow
- 6:48through with it because following through with some of
- 6:50these threats like that, I'm going to take the kids, I'm
- 6:52going to do this. I'm going to do that.
- 6:54It actually relinquishes all the power to you.
- 6:57They don't really want to do that.
- 6:59You know, ask yourself, because if they're not being parents
- 7:01right now, they don't know how to do anything parenting wise.
- 7:04They don't know how to do anything scheduling wise or
- 7:06finance. I'm going to take, I'm going to
- 7:08take the business if I'm going to run the business like they
- 7:11don't have. Yeah, they don't know the 1st.
- 7:12Thing about running the business, if they want to take
- 7:14it from you, I'm going to take it and run it.
- 7:15To the ground. That's what they're going to do.
- 7:16They would take it and run it into the ground.
- 7:18They're not going to take it and have any type of success with
- 7:20it. So the thing about this right
- 7:22here, I'm not telling, I'm not telling you to not take every
- 7:24single threat seriously, but work your way backwards from it
- 7:27sometimes, like reverse engineer the threat.
- 7:30Is this actually something that they want or are they trying to
- 7:32instill fear in me because they know I have the power, because
- 7:36they're threatening you? You know, a lot of people don't
- 7:39have to. If they actually wanted to do
- 7:40something, they they don't have to threaten you or they would
- 7:42just do it right. If they are in, if they have all
- 7:44the power, they have all the control, they wouldn't just
- 7:47threaten you, they would do it. I'm going to I promise you, if
- 7:50you if you tell people I'm cheating on you or I'm beating
- 7:53on you, I'm going to divorce you.
- 7:54What that's going to happen anyway.
- 7:57So I'm going to you're like, you're going to divorce them
- 7:59regardless. You you're going to leave them
- 8:01regardless. That is threatening to divorce
- 8:03you. If you if you leave me, I'm
- 8:05going to release this our our SEX tape, our S3X tape.
- 8:09We're going, it's going to be online somewhere.
- 8:11I'm going to start out only fans with your with your picture on
- 8:13it. I'm going to tell I'm going to
- 8:15be selling your videos. I'm going to sell this online.
- 8:17I'm going to embarrass you. I'm going to put your naked
- 8:19pictures out there. Will some people do that?
- 8:22Yes. Some people will absolutely
- 8:23follow through that threat. But ask yourself, do they just
- 8:26want to? Because a lot of people will
- 8:28know that most people lost them. Like, yeah, most people in your
- 8:35circle would know that that person did it.
- 8:36And, you know, most, I think most states or cities would ever
- 8:39have those revenge corn laws out there to protect you from that
- 8:43type of stuff happening. So is this something that they
- 8:44actually want to do or is it something that they, they are
- 8:47just saying to mess with you to, to keep you right where you are?
- 8:51These are questions that you have to ask yourself because
- 8:53narcissistic people, they thrive on fear.
- 8:56They feed on fear. They get fueled from your fear.
- 9:00So they love it when you don't take action.
- 9:02They love it when you stay stagnant.
- 9:03They love it when you, when you, when they can instill that fear
- 9:06in you leave. I want to leave, but they keep
- 9:07telling me they're going to ruin they going to, they going to do
- 9:09this, do that, do that. Like do they, do you think they
- 9:11really want to do that? I know I said the possibility
- 9:14exists that they will follow through, but what if they do?
- 9:17What if they do? What if they do get 5050
- 9:20custody? You mean because those days are
- 9:22going to allow that anyway. I'm going to take 50 custody,
- 9:24You know, I know you don't want that.
- 9:26Do they actually want 5050 custody?
- 9:27Do they actually want full control over something?
- 9:29Do they actually want to take on a burden of finances and stuff
- 9:32like that? Most times the answer to their
- 9:34question is going to be no, they're just threatening you.
- 9:37Take it seriously. Make it if they start
- 9:39threatening, y'all, if they start issuing threats to you,
- 9:41I'm going to divorce you. I'm going to tell their friends,
- 9:43I'm going to sleep with your friends and family.
- 9:45I'm going to tell you this, I'm going to tell this, I'm going to
- 9:46spread rumors about you. Y'all understand that once they
- 9:50once that threat is, if they follow through with that threat,
- 9:52they can't do it again. They can't do the same thing
- 9:54twice. You know, it's like double
- 9:55jeopardy. These threats are double
- 9:57jeopardy. They can't threaten the same
- 9:58thing twice. A lot of time.
- 9:59So once the threat is followed through, they have no power.
- 10:02You know what I'm saying? A lot of times they have no
- 10:04power. Once they follow through with
- 10:07the threat, the power is gone. So they have to find they have
- 10:09to try try to shift and transition.
- 10:11You know, they have to try to do so many other things.
- 10:13They have to try to move so many move.
- 10:15They have to try to do so many other moving pieces and things
- 10:17of that nature. They just want to follow through
- 10:20with it. So this is what I'm telling
- 10:22y'all right here in this situation that you have to
- 10:24empower yourself, you have to stand packed.
- 10:26You have to stay strong. You have to do that.
- 10:29You know Dang it, man might keep coming off, but that's something
- 10:33like that. I I will tell everybody that you
- 10:36have to like take the threat seriously, of course, but don't
- 10:38let the threats keep you from taking action.
- 10:42Threatening you is not cute. They'll they'll they'll cover a
- 10:45threat with a joke. You know I'm just playing with
- 10:47you. I mean I would do that thing
- 10:48like that. There are so many tombstones
- 10:50with people out there in the cemetery that they actually did
- 10:53do that. So it's not cute if they're
- 10:55sorry if they ever threaten you like they say you took out you
- 10:57had to stand up for yourself. Y'all, I'm going to hurt you or
- 10:59harm you like you know you, if you do that, you know
- 11:02something's going to happen to you, whatever.
- 11:04You know, I'm, I'm saying to threaten them back, but just
- 11:07say, hey, look, don't say that again.
- 11:09There's not, I don't take that as a joke because so many people
- 11:12out there have, have lost their lives, have lost their
- 11:14livelihood, have lost their arms and legs and, you know, have
- 11:17lost their sanity and things of their nature when people have
- 11:19said this type of stuff and they follow through with it.
- 11:21So please don't, please don't joke like that.
- 11:23We don't, we don't joke like that.
- 11:24And that's a boundary. They do it again.
- 11:26You have to enforce that boundary and dip sometimes.
- 11:29Don't be afraid to leave somebody that threatens you in a
- 11:31joking way. It never y'all.
- 11:34There's some truth to every but people say there's some truth to
- 11:36every joke. There's a little there's a
- 11:38splash of truth in every joke. So take it seriously.
- 11:41Protect your peace, protect yourself.
