Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people.
- 0:01Today we're going to be talking about the one question that
- 0:04could possibly make a narcissist collapse, cause a narcissist
- 0:08that collapse. If you're new here, my name is
- 0:10Lee Hammock. I'm a self aware narcissist and
- 0:12welcome to another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:32So welcome back, welcome back, welcome back folks.
- 0:34Yes, yes, yes. The one question to ask a
- 0:38narcissist, they could cause or trigger a possible narcissistic
- 0:42collapse. So first of all, I didn't create
- 0:45this question. I didn't come up with it.
- 0:46I was reading an article. I don't know how I got to the
- 0:50article. I forgot what I was Googling.
- 0:52But the article came up from Rebecca Zung and she's a, you
- 0:57know, brilliant content creator attorney.
- 1:00I think she's an attorney specializing in narcissistic
- 1:03abuse and dealing with narcissistic people, right?
- 1:06And the article listened to the question.
- 1:08I was like, let me see what let me see what question this is
- 1:11that she's referring to. What question that she's talking
- 1:15about. It is not, you know, question.
- 1:17What kind of bear is best? The the question that she put on
- 1:21her, they said it could cause a narcissistic collapse or cause a
- 1:25narcissistic to collapse is simple.
- 1:28It is five words. How does that benefit you?
- 1:35That's the question. I was like that.
- 1:38You know what? That is a very interesting
- 1:41question. That is a very interesting
- 1:42question. In the article on medium.com,
- 1:47she pretty much said that question shifts the balance of
- 1:50power back to the person asking the question and away from a
- 1:53narcissist. So if you're like negotiating
- 1:55with a narcissist or a toxic person or whatever, asking them
- 1:58this question kind of flips. It kind of flips them on her
- 2:01head because very rarely will a narcissist try to give you
- 2:05anything. Narcissistic people try to
- 2:06steamroller you, right? They're very rarely going to
- 2:09come to a negotiating table and try to work out a win win
- 2:12situation. Typically it's I win, you lose.
- 2:16Or at least I need to feel like I'm winning.
- 2:19I need to feel a victory here. I need to feel like I'm winning
- 2:24in some way, shape or form, right?
- 2:27So if I'm feeling this way right, then like as a narcissist
- 2:31myself, if I'm feeling this way, then I can walk away from the
- 2:35negotiating table. But when you ask a narcissist
- 2:37that question right there, it does make them think it does.
- 2:41And the most narcissists don't want to reveal, reveal their
- 2:44true motives. They don't want to reveal their
- 2:46true intent. So they try to keep it close to
- 2:49the cuff, like they want to make you think that they're trying to
- 2:51work with you and things like that.
- 2:53But if you ask them this question, how does that benefit
- 2:55you? Yeah, it makes them start to
- 2:56think. And they could get angry as
- 2:58hell. This isn't about me.
- 3:00This is about the kids. This is about the money.
- 3:02This is about this. It's not about me.
- 3:05Everything's not about me. Just like it's about you.
- 3:07You're the selfish one. You're the selfish one here.
- 3:10You're not trying to negotiate. How does this benefit me?
- 3:12How does it benefit you? Huh.
- 3:15How does the hell does this benefit you?
- 3:16That's why we're not together. Because he's worrying about that
- 3:18blah, blah. You worry about stuff.
- 3:19There's stuff that doesn't matter, Rabble rabble rabble
- 3:21blah, blah blah, Boo Boo Boo BBB.
- 3:23And they can get very angry. They could, they could withdraw
- 3:26from the situation or whatnot. And there's a lot of things that
- 3:29happens in the situation. She she she said in the article,
- 3:33it says that the narcissist collapse right here because it
- 3:36makes them, you know, revealed. It prompts them to reveal their
- 3:39motives. They may be taken aback, stumble
- 3:42or become defensive in this moment, in that moment, you've
- 3:45shifted the balance of power. Yes, you have.
- 3:48You have shifted it because they're looking at you as a
- 3:50completely different person now, because now you're asking them
- 3:53to look inside. You're asking them to look
- 3:55deeper. Do you asking them to think more
- 3:57critically and reveal themselves And a lot of times their true
- 4:00motive is it's dark. A lot of narcissists have a
- 4:05truly dark motive. They have truly dark intent with
- 4:08whatever situation is here. They have the intent of just
- 4:11running over top of you and making making your life harder
- 4:14and steamrolling you and just making things more difficult
- 4:17just for the hill just for the sake of making it more
- 4:20difficult. This is what a lot of
- 4:21narcissists do. They don't care about the end
- 4:23result. They don't care about who
- 4:24they're hurting. They don't care about who they
- 4:25get who's getting ran over. They just care about how they're
- 4:28feeling. If you, if you somehow initiated
- 4:31the divorce or the breakup or the separation or whatever,
- 4:34you're trying to quit the company, whatever it is,
- 4:36whoever, whatever role the narcissist plays, right, if you
- 4:39are the one who made them feel rejected or hit their ego,
- 4:43they're going to try to inflict maximum pain on you.
- 4:46Because vengeance is vengeance will be mine.
- 4:49You know what I mean? They will try to.
- 4:50They will try to get revenge on you.
- 4:52Most of them. Yeah, well, some of them run
- 4:55away. Yeah, but most of them will try
- 4:57to seek vengeance on you for hurting their ego, for bringing
- 5:00shame into their life, for making them feel rejected.
- 5:03And sometimes rejection can breed obsession.
- 5:05When you're dealing with toxic, narcissistic people, abusive
- 5:08people, your abusive ex, well, what are you?
- 5:11How does this benefit you? Works in so many different
- 5:14scenarios, but negotiations Co parenting you like you if you
- 5:19had a mediation or in court or whatever it is when you had to
- 5:22talk to this person, how does this benefit you?
- 5:24You know works when you're trying to talk about money when
- 5:26you're trying to talk about alimony or child support or
- 5:28whatever it is splitting up the assets splitting up the house,
- 5:31the bank accounts, whatever it is.
- 5:33How does this benefit you How the hell you think it benefits
- 5:35me? I'm just telling you, very
- 5:37rarely would they just answer this question straightforward,
- 5:39just like, look, it benefits me because if you ask them this
- 5:42question very rarely when they just come up to you straight and
- 5:45give you a straightforward answer, well, it benefits me
- 5:47this way right here and it allows me to, you know, be be
- 5:50there more for the kids. The schedule works out for me
- 5:52better. It works out for you as well.
- 5:54It benefits me because I want to be amicable and work with you
- 5:56and things like that. No, very rarely will that ever
- 6:00happen. Very rarely.
- 6:02How does it benefit you is typically going to incite some
- 6:05narcissistic rage and they might not be the rageful narcissist,
- 6:10right that yells and screams. Some of some narcissists are
- 6:13extremely passive aggressive. They don't yell and scream.
- 6:16They silent. They they silently abuse you.
- 6:18They abuse you in silence. And asking them this question
- 6:21puts them on the spot and might make them reveal their true
- 6:24character. It might make the covert nature
- 6:26go away for a little bit because they're they're not expecting
- 6:28this like that quit. You asked that question.
- 6:31That's a that's a question that's coming from a place of
- 6:33strength and power. It just is because you're asking
- 6:35them straightforward. How does this benefit you?
- 6:38They don't want to answer that question because as long as I
- 6:40have my as long as I can keep the benefits inside, I feel like
- 6:45I'm I feel like I'm in control. I feel like I have the power
- 6:48right here, right. But if you ask that question and
- 6:52I'm not forced to answer the question most people are not
- 6:54going to be for, I don't, I don't mean, again, I'll follow
- 6:56Rebecca Zong. She has more information on the
- 6:58court system than I do. I don't know if you get forced
- 7:01to answer this question. So most of them are not going to
- 7:03feel forced and some of them going, well, it's not, don't
- 7:05worry about it. Don't worry about how this
- 7:07benefits me. We're not together anymore.
- 7:08Why are you worried about my life?
- 7:09Why are you worried about this? How does it benefit me?
- 7:12How does this benefit the children?
- 7:14How does this benefit you? How does this benefit you asking
- 7:16this stupid ass question? How about that y'all will see a
- 7:20narcissist true character right here and things like this when
- 7:23when it happens in these spaces, you know, a lot of times
- 7:27narcissistic people when they are doing going through these
- 7:31processes and things like that, they will you know try to hurt
- 7:35you. They will try to harm you.
- 7:36If you have to go back to this person after this meeting is
- 7:39over, then if you have to go back home with this person, how
- 7:43does this benefit you? If I say at the beginning of the
- 7:45video, use discretion because this could narcissist.
- 7:48When a narcissist collapses, it's just like their image is
- 7:52shattered. So if their image is shattered
- 7:54in front of people, in front of other people, if they feel like
- 7:57you're embarrassed them or expose them in front of other
- 8:01people, they could, they could put you in danger.
- 8:02That's why I said use discretion when you're asking this question
- 8:05to make sure that you have a safe place to be or safe place
- 8:08to go or that you protect yourself when you ask this
- 8:10question. Because not all of them, like I
- 8:12said, not all of them are trying to send you to the, you know, to
- 8:15the afterworld or what not put you in the ground.
- 8:18Some of them will though. Some of them will physically,
- 8:20mentally, verbally abuse you more because you ask this
- 8:24question. You put them on the spot because
- 8:26a narcissistic collapse means that I'm exposed.
- 8:31My intent is exposed. So that question could
- 8:34absolutely trigger a narcissist to collapse in front of other
- 8:37people. Like if you, if you're just
- 8:38asking me this in private, they, you know, it can go to different
- 8:41space, but in a situationally in front of other people would
- 8:44think with when things matter, when things are on the line.
- 8:47Yeah. You stand, you're in a position
- 8:48of power right there. You can hurt me more than I can
- 8:51hurt you, You know, so a lot of narcissists are not going to,
- 8:54they're not going to want to stand for this type of stuff.
- 8:56They're going to try to hurt you.
- 8:58They're going to try to do this type of stuff right here.
- 9:00They're going to try to keep doing this these type of things
- 9:03because it benefits them. I'm going to try to keep my true
- 9:06intent, but behind closed doors internally inside of me because
- 9:11it helps protect my image. If I were to reveal my true
- 9:14intent, then that does, you know what I mean?
- 9:17If I were to reveal my true intent, then that I do run the
- 9:19risk of losing my maybe my good image.
- 9:22Like if I'm a pastor and you ask me this right here, right?
- 9:25We got a recorded deposition or something like that.
- 9:28And you ask me, how does this benefit you?
- 9:30And I rage out and I'm like, like I said, I have to expose
- 9:33myself. Then the congregation might turn
- 9:35on me, the people like I might have a good image in the
- 9:38community. People might turn on me when
- 9:40people see me for who I really AM and people see that
- 9:42narcissist for who who they really are.
- 9:44That narcissistic person could retreat within themselves.
- 9:46It could ruin their emotional internally, it could ruin their
- 9:50lives, right? Maybe not financially or you
- 9:53know, job wise, but it could ruin their social lives.
- 9:57It could ruin their. So in like a lot of times,
- 9:58narcissistic people get narcissistic supply from their
- 10:02social surroundings, from people that are around them, from
- 10:04people that surround them and things like that.
- 10:06In these types of situations, you have to be very careful.
- 10:09This question could work right here.
- 10:10Y'all, That's it be very care not results may vary.
- 10:16You know, the little asterisk on the back of packages and things
- 10:19like that when you're taking some kind of pills, results may
- 10:21vary. Not everybody's going to get a
- 10:23six pack from taking from doing the AB lounge.
- 10:25You know, not everybody's going to, you know, putting on
- 10:27Jordan's shoes and not going to make everybody dunk like Michael
- 10:30Jordan or extend your arm like like Michael from Space Jam.
- 10:34That's not going to happen for everybody.
- 10:36Results may vary and of course, use discretion.
- 10:39If you have a a physically abusive stalk, very dangerous as
- 10:42narcissist that you have to go home to be very careful asking
- 10:45this question because if they collapse, that means they have
- 10:48like sometimes with narcissistic people collapse, have a
- 10:50narcissist that collapse. That means my image and my
- 10:53reputation are ruined. So if some of them might feel
- 10:54like they have nothing to live for and if they feel like they
- 10:57have nothing to live for, then they can go on attack with you.
- 11:00They're going to, they can go on attack and whatnot.
- 11:02You don't want them to go on attack.
- 11:04You just don't want them to do that.
