Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:01Today we're going to be talking about do narcissists that really
- 0:05think that they are better than everyone else.
- 0:09If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammond.
- 0:10I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:13another episode of the Narcissist Coke.
- 0:31So boom, welcome back. Yes.
- 0:34Yeah, That's, that's the question of the day, isn't it?
- 0:36The question of the, the hour, the question of the, the week,
- 0:40month, year. Do narcissists really think that
- 0:43they are better than everyone else?
- 0:46Like, So what do you think? Like seriously, what do you
- 0:48think? I, I know the answer to that
- 0:51question for a lot of people is going to be yes, absolutely Lee
- 0:57with no equivocation, no fight back, nothing else.
- 1:00Narcissists absolutely think that they are better than
- 1:03everyone else and that that has a lot of truth to it because
- 1:06there are, are a lot of narcissistic people out there
- 1:10that absolutely just feel like they are better than everyone
- 1:14else just because they are them. No qualifications, no no
- 1:21reasoning behind it. Just because they have this
- 1:23inner entitlement to feel like they are better than everyone
- 1:27else, like they are just they, they are entitled to being
- 1:31better than everyone else. That happens so much in these
- 1:34spaces, that happens so much within these dynamics and
- 1:37whatnot that they just feel like they are absolutely better than
- 1:42everyone else. And it's hard to deal with.
- 1:45That can be extremely hard to deal with as a person, you know,
- 1:48as a person who who is with this narcissist, right?
- 1:51With this toxic person, right? Because if you have the
- 1:54narcissistic person that thinks that they are better than
- 1:56everyone else, right? No matter what you do, no matter
- 2:00how much you accomplish, they are going to think that they are
- 2:04better than you. And that's, yeah, that's just
- 2:07factual. They are going to think that
- 2:09they are better than you, than you.
- 2:11No matter what you accomplish, no matter how successful you
- 2:14are, it, it doesn't matter. They are always going to find
- 2:18the reasoning or find an excuse as to why their accomplishments
- 2:23are better than yours. They are better than you.
- 2:26And whatever you know, they'll make an they'll make, they'll
- 2:28start the the narcissist that does think that they are better
- 2:31than everyone else always finds an excuse to invalidate what you
- 2:36have going on to invalidate your position in their life.
- 2:40You, you, you know, you're only successful because your mom did
- 2:43this or because your dad did this.
- 2:45You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
- 2:47And I had a plastic spoon, you know, I had a plastic, I had AI
- 2:50had a plastic. I was born, you were born with a
- 2:52silver spoon. I was born with a plastic spork.
- 2:57I got AI had a plastic spork in my mouth.
- 3:00You know, it's not, it's not fully a spoon and it's not
- 3:03really a fork. I had one of those where you got
- 3:05a silver spoon, you know, but that's the compare and contrast.
- 3:10They're always comparing and contrasting, but they will find
- 3:12an excuse to invalidate your success while propping up their
- 3:17own, while lifting up their own successes while lifting up the
- 3:22own, the the the things that they themselves have
- 3:24accomplished or have not accomplished or will accomplish.
- 3:28They will always find a reason behind it.
- 3:29They'll also find an excuse to why they are not what they want
- 3:32to be, why they have failed so spectacularly at their life.
- 3:36If it's, if it, if it is a spectacular failure, a lot of
- 3:40them will do that right there. A lot of them will find a reason
- 3:43to why they failed to why they haven't made it as far as they
- 3:46want to go in life. There's always going to be a
- 3:49reasoning behind it. Yeah, that's why I'm just
- 3:51telling you there are a lot of narcissists that absolutely feel
- 3:54like they are better than you just because this inner just
- 3:58delusions. It's it really is like when you
- 4:02hear people say the delusions of grandeur, it doesn't just
- 4:05encompass the regular narcissistic person's mind,
- 4:08right? It doesn't just like it's just
- 4:09not delusions of, you know, fame and fortune.
- 4:12It's the delusions of being better than everyone else.
- 4:15It's the delusions that feel like you are, you are entitled
- 4:18to something in life just because of who you are, just
- 4:22because you are you, just because you were born.
- 4:25You feel like you're entitled to massive success or massive fame
- 4:29or massive money, whatever it is you feel like you're entitled
- 4:32to. That's what happens.
- 4:34It absolutely is what happens a lot of times within the space.
- 4:37That's what I'm telling y'all right now.
- 4:39This is who, this is how you have to go through things.
- 4:42This is how you have to deal with things.
- 4:44This is how you have to process things.
- 4:46Like they're going to be delusional.
- 4:48And like, yeah, you can, you can argue back and forth with them.
- 4:51They try to keep them in check. But what is that going to
- 4:53accomplish other than two people arguing?
- 4:55You already know your truth. Stand in it.
- 4:57Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry you feel that way about,
- 5:00you know, my successes. You know, I don't see it that
- 5:02way. You know, you're entitled to
- 5:04your own opinion. I just don't see it that way.
- 5:06It just ended right there. Don't, don't go back and forth
- 5:08with with them because you don't want to argue for your limit.
- 5:12You don't want to argue for yourself.
- 5:14If you already know who you are, if your, your, your
- 5:16accomplishments speak for themselves, you don't have to
- 5:19speak for them. Their trophy on the wall, your
- 5:22degree, your diploma, whatever, it speaks for itself.
- 5:25That paycheck speaks for itself. You know that mind speaks for
- 5:29itself. The attention you get, the
- 5:30amount of followers you have, a lot of times that speaks for
- 5:33itself. You don't have to defend
- 5:34yourself against somebody that's trying to degrade you because
- 5:37they don't feel like they are what they want to be.
- 5:40It's it's shame. So yes, some of them absolutely
- 5:43think that they're better than you just because they are them.
- 5:46It's Creole. It is absolutely mind boggling
- 5:48how it happens. I'm better than you because I'm
- 5:52me. What?
- 5:53What does that even mean? You you think you're better than
- 5:56me because you are. You got it.
- 5:58What the hell is? Yeah.
- 5:59What does that mean? That doesn't mean anything.
- 6:02It's it's it's psycho talks. It's psycho Babble.
- 6:06It doesn't mean anything. It's just them talking on the
- 6:09side of their neck, literally talking about the side of that
- 6:12neck because it really had me crazy.
- 6:15So that's what I'm telling y'all.
- 6:17If you're dealing with a person with this mindset, don't go back
- 6:19and forth. You don't have to argue with the
- 6:20fuzzing fight. I know you feel like you have to
- 6:23because they want that's, that's what they want to do.
- 6:26You know, that's what they want to do.
- 6:28They want the fussing fight. They want to argue so they can
- 6:31hurt your affiliates, so they can invalidate you even more.
- 6:34They've like before you argue with a narcissist, just know
- 6:38that they've already had they already, I'm going to do a
- 6:40longer video on this, but just know that they already have a
- 6:44plan of action they're going to take with this argument and
- 6:46whatnot. Like I said, I'm going to go
- 6:48into the greater detail of that. I'm writing it down right now
- 6:51before you argue, I'm going to go into arguing with the
- 6:54narcissist. It's going to be a good video
- 6:55coming up. But yeah, but on the flip side
- 6:58of things, there are some narcissists that don't think
- 7:01that they are better than you. But this is the flip side of
- 7:05things. They're like in this category of
- 7:09narcissist who don't think that they're better than you.
- 7:12It doesn't mean like they, they won't project like they think
- 7:15they are. Narcissistic people lie.
- 7:19That's just a fact. They a lot of them are
- 7:21pathological or compulsive liars.
- 7:23They will just lie. They asses off when the truth
- 7:25will work. They will lie when they don't
- 7:28have to. Y'all like when they don't have
- 7:30to hype up their success because it's unnecessary.
- 7:34They will because it's the, it's the feelings of being
- 7:37insignificant. It's the fear of insignificance
- 7:41that makes them this way. A lot of times it's also the
- 7:44that it's also the delusions of grandeur, but it's also the fear
- 7:48of insignificance. I want to be, I want to make, I
- 7:50want to know that I matter. I want to know that I matter.
- 7:54I want to know that I'm valid. So they will do and say a lot of
- 7:57different things in order to try to validate themselves, in order
- 8:00to try to prop themselves up. Even if they don't believe it,
- 8:03they will just lie their asses off.
- 8:05Even if they don't believe that they're actually better than
- 8:07you, they will tell you that they're better than you.
- 8:09You know, you can dunk a basketball off of, you know, off
- 8:12of your vertical leap. They can't even touch the
- 8:14backboard. But somehow, you know, you just,
- 8:17you just taller and you just, you know, you had every
- 8:19opportunity to do this, do that. I used to, I used to get dumped
- 8:23when I was in high school, but I can't do it anymore because
- 8:25these legs, these old knees have been older.
- 8:29They could be 19 years old. They could, they could literally
- 8:30have just graduated from high school and still present you
- 8:33with that excuse. So that's what I'm saying.
- 8:35Like not all of them will actually believe that they're
- 8:38better than you, but they will say it, you know, they will say
- 8:41that they're better than you because they don't want to feel
- 8:43bad about themselves. It's the like I say, it's the
- 8:45fear of insignificance. They want to matter.
- 8:48They really do want to matter. So they just will lie their
- 8:51asses off. They will hype up their
- 8:52accomplishments in the same way the the people who actually
- 8:55believe that they're better than you are.
- 8:57They're still entitled, but it's a different type of entitlement.
- 8:59It's the entitlement to not feel ashamed.
- 9:01I'm entitled to not be ashamed of myself.
- 9:03I'm entitled to not feel this way.
- 9:05I'm entitled to not do this, to not do that.
- 9:07There are so many different ways that narcissistic people can
- 9:10navigate this spectrum right here, y'all.
- 9:12So when you're dealing with a narcissistic person with his
- 9:15mindset, just understand it like the word like, yeah, this is
- 9:18where they're coming from. It's they're coming from a place
- 9:20of feeling insignificant, you know?
- 9:22But I said there are, I will end it with this like last little
- 9:26section right here, y'all. There are the narcissists who
- 9:29don't believe that they are better than you and who will
- 9:31absolutely play the victim. You know, there are the
- 9:34narcissists, like I said, who, who don't believe that they're
- 9:36better than you, but will pretend to be better than you,
- 9:39will project it. But they're also the like the
- 9:41vulnerable, more covert narcissist, you know, that think
- 9:45that they are, you know, not that they don't believe that
- 9:48they're better than you. And they, they project that out
- 9:51too. They've just like the, the
- 9:53perpetual victim narcissist, they're always in perpetual
- 9:56victim mode. Like they will find a way if
- 9:59there's a will, there's a way, if there's a will to play the
- 10:02victim, there's a way to play the victim.
- 10:04They will absolutely discover how in the hell that they can
- 10:08play victims to some circumstances that they
- 10:10themselves might even have created.
- 10:12They play victims to circumstances that they
- 10:14themselves might have had a hand in.
- 10:16So that's something you have to consider as well when you're
- 10:18dealing with a toxic narcissistic person who's just
- 10:21who's out to serve themselves, who's out to do this for
- 10:23themselves. Like some of them will actually
- 10:26try to get elicit empathy and sympathy from people that they
- 10:29don't, that they believe that they're inferior to in order to
- 10:33try to build themselves up. They play the victim because
- 10:35they won't help. You know what I mean?
- 10:37They, they don't want to ask for help, but they'll play the
- 10:39victim in order to get it. And when they get it, they can,
- 10:42they can use their help if it's, if it's monetarily, if it's a
- 10:45job, it's a career, it's sponsoring them to go back to
- 10:48school, whatever it is, they will use that to try to be
- 10:50better than you. And then they'll come back and
- 10:52rub that on your face because now they actually believe that
- 10:54they're better than you and they won't thank you for it.
- 10:57You know, they'll use you, abuse you, and then just get rid of
- 11:00you. That's what typically what
- 11:01happens right there in these places.
