Transcript
- 0:00What is going on? Beautiful people.
- 0:02Today we are talking about how some narcissists like a
- 0:07challenge when it comes to dating and relationships and
- 0:09whatnot. Sometimes jobs and stuff too.
- 0:11If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:13I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and welcome to
- 0:15another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:34Boom. Welcome back, Welcome back.
- 0:36Welcome back. Yes.
- 0:37Challenge. Challenge accepted.
- 0:40No, no, no. What's the The Lion King with
- 0:44with Mufasa and Scar at the beginning.
- 0:46When Scar says something smart, smart mouth to Mufasa and Mufasa
- 0:50said raw. Is that a challenge?
- 0:52It's always the what I think of when I hear the word challenge
- 0:56come up and whatnot. But yeah, y'all, yes, it's a lot
- 1:00of narcissistic people love, love, love a challenge.
- 1:05They just do. A lot of narcissists love a
- 1:07challenge. They like to be, they like to be
- 1:09challenged in some way, shape or form.
- 1:11That's the part of right there. This how it goes like they like
- 1:15to be challenged. They love, they they love to be
- 1:17challenged. Like in relationships.
- 1:20Like that's. This is one of the main reasons
- 1:23why you see a lot of narcissists go for people that they might
- 1:26not even really like. Like somebody.
- 1:29That's maybe the phrase a lot of people will use is somebody
- 1:34that's out of their league and things like that.
- 1:36Somebody that has different alternative views than they do,
- 1:41like different political views, different religious views,
- 1:44different, different, different anything.
- 1:46Narcissists like a challenge. They like to change people.
- 1:51They like to see if they can get people not and and a lot of
- 1:55times just being realistic is not because they actually want
- 1:58to be with that person for a long period of time.
- 2:00They just want to be challenged to see if they can do it.
- 2:03A lot of narcissists suffer from chronic boredom.
- 2:07Y'all, this is not me saying that you are a boring person.
- 2:13This is just me saying that a lot of narcissists suffer from
- 2:17being chronically bored and whatnot.
- 2:19They just do. This is part of it right here.
- 2:21This is part of how it goes. Like a lot of narcissists will
- 2:23suffer from this right here and in life.
- 2:27Especially if you reject them. Especially if you, you know, if
- 2:31you're playing hard to get, the harder to get, the better it is
- 2:35for some narcissistic people like Y'all might have different
- 2:39interests, but you know, they pretend to be what you want in
- 2:44order to get you to see if they can get you because they like to
- 2:47be challenged. They like it.
- 2:50Y'all they like when they can pull somebody down to their
- 2:53level. If you're up here, they love it
- 2:56when they get reached outside there and they get them there.
- 2:59Little relationship, little narcissistic relationship, tippy
- 3:02toes and reach up and pull you down to this level.
- 3:08Some of them love that, Some of them absolutely y'all.
- 3:13It's damn near an intoxicating feeling for a lot of
- 3:17narcissistic people in this space, right here in this
- 3:19position when they get you, when they probably shouldn't have
- 3:22you, you know? And that's the crazy thing about
- 3:25it is you would think, and I know how a non narcissistic
- 3:29person's mind works right here. You would think that if they
- 3:31work so hard to get you, why don't they just keep you?
- 3:34Try to. Why don't they work hard to keep
- 3:36you? Because they feel like they
- 3:37enough work to get you. I put in enough work, time,
- 3:41effort, energy in the beginning to I put in enough time, effort
- 3:46and energy in the beginning to get you now it's just like, OK
- 3:50now that I've done this why I need to put work in That's why
- 3:54they love bomb you. The love bombing in the
- 3:57beginning is the work, the love bombing.
- 3:59And like I said that's why I'm saying like the love bombing
- 4:02time period can be extended. It doesn't like, it doesn't just
- 4:05end, you know? I mean like there's no set
- 4:08timetable on when they will end. It does just end, but there's no
- 4:11set timetable on when the love bombing phase will come to an
- 4:15end. You see, like some Love bombing
- 4:18phases last a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and y'all live off that
- 4:22for years. You know, some of them last
- 4:23months, some of them like come damn near last a year or so.
- 4:26Y'all. It just really depends on how
- 4:28like you can you can do a slow drip love bomb.
- 4:32The love bomb can be set off in the it's a it's a chain reaction
- 4:36of bombs. It's not just one big bomb.
- 4:38It's one cumulative bomb. It's one.
- 4:39It's a little a lot of mini explosions that lead up to one
- 4:43big one big bomb. You see what I'm saying?
- 4:45But that happens. That's why I tell so many people
- 4:50when you're dealing with a narcissistic person, Y'all when
- 4:52you're dealing with somebody that you might think it's toxic
- 4:55or somebody that's you not. This is how do I say this.
- 5:00I need to say this in a in a very a way that it doesn't
- 5:03disrespect people, but y'all If you are not attracted to them
- 5:06initially. If you are not, this person is
- 5:10not within your whatever levels you set, whatever standards you
- 5:14have. If this person is not who you
- 5:16would like, if you have to force yourself to be attracted to this
- 5:21person or this person, you know really really messed up the
- 5:24first date and come back the second date.
- 5:25A completely different person. Y'all, just if you don't like
- 5:32the person at first, don't like, yeah, don't change it up.
- 5:34Y'all because narcissistic people hate rejection, right?
- 5:38They hate being rejected. They hate feeling like they are
- 5:41less than you, like you like you are more like you are greater
- 5:46than them. So they'd like to pull you down
- 5:48so that if you tell them no, some of them hate the word no,
- 5:51so they will keep. It's like, you know, they will
- 5:53keep trying and trying and trying until they get a damn
- 5:55yes. They hate the word no until they
- 5:58get a yes. You see what I'm saying?
- 5:59They hate, they hate it. They hate it.
- 6:01So they will keep trying to get you until you say yes, just to
- 6:04hurt you, just to hurt you, just to get you in a relationship, to
- 6:08treat you horribly. Because you said that first.
- 6:10No, because you hurt me at first.
- 6:13Now I'm going to be angry at you later on.
- 6:16Now I'm not going to let this go.
- 6:17That's how it goes right there. Y'all.
- 6:19That's a unique, that's a very unique space that so many people
- 6:22fall into. If you say no to them at first
- 6:25or you put them in the friend zone at first, or you just
- 6:27you're not interested in them at first, y'all stay uninterested
- 6:30in them. But I was just telling you,
- 6:32narcissistic people hold grudges.
- 6:33If you've rejected them in the past, they like a challenge to
- 6:36try to get you right now and they will treat you horribly
- 6:38because they feel like they are a second filter.
- 6:40They were not your first choice. So now I'm going to treat you
- 6:43horribly because you chose somebody else before me.
- 6:45When I show interest in you, that's the challenge that they
- 6:48like. If you make more money than
- 6:50them, that's the challenge that they like.
- 6:51If you are more physically or conventionally attractive than
- 6:54them, that's the challenge. That they like different
- 6:57religion. That's the challenge.
- 6:59They like different political affiliation.
- 7:00Y'all know, especially in America, how damn polarized
- 7:03politics. I hate election years.
- 7:07I just say like I hate election years because you see people's
- 7:10true colors come out. There's some, there's some vow,
- 7:13vow, vow people out here. But yes, that's how it goes.
- 7:18Y'all. That's really literally how it
- 7:20goes. They love a challenge.
- 7:23And this is like, it's not just to get you in a relationship.
- 7:25The type of challenge that they like, another type of challenge
- 7:28that they really, really enjoy is to get you back in a
- 7:32relationship. If they've done something
- 7:35horrible to you, they've cheated on you, They lied to you, they
- 7:38left, they left you for your friend.
- 7:41They've moved on like they've left you for one of your friends
- 7:44or family members. They've chose somebody else
- 7:46above you. They've treated, they're
- 7:48treated, you know, they're courting someone else.
- 7:50That's the old word, old Tommy word.
- 7:52Courting someone else. They've treated you horribly and
- 7:55you've broken up with them and or or they've left you and to to
- 7:59try to get you back is a challenge that they love.
- 8:03Y'all. If they successfully get you
- 8:06back after they've done something horrible and
- 8:09unforgivable to you, they feel like they're just like on top of
- 8:12the world. That's like that's damn, there's
- 8:13there's a drug right there that's a high, you know, You
- 8:17know, that's a high for them. Wow, you really got back with
- 8:20me. I thought I did this horrible
- 8:21stuff to you. Wow.
- 8:24I'm a really Be the man. Yes.
- 8:27I'm a really be the IT girl. Yes, I'm, you know I am.
- 8:31Damn, you know. You know they get into their
- 8:33space and their minds and their mentality.
- 8:36I really am that guy. You know, they feel good about
- 8:40treating you horribly and getting back with you.
- 8:42That's a challenge. Yo.
- 8:44When like I said again, the high, the challenge is in the is
- 8:49in the high. Who the hell is this?
- 8:51You know the challenge is right there in the high, right there.
- 8:55Y'all. That's the challenge they they
- 8:57face right there is getting you back.
- 9:00Yeah. And they might treat you good
- 9:01for a little while, but then they just go right back to
- 9:03treating you horribly. The challenge was to get you.
- 9:06And then they do it again and again and again and again until
- 9:08they probably get bored and just leave you alone for good.
- 9:11They exhaust you. The challenge isn't fun anymore.
- 9:14It's not a challenge anymore because they know it's going.
- 9:16It no longer becomes a challenge.
- 9:18The more times you take them back, the less of a challenge it
- 9:20is. You know?
- 9:22It's like now it's boring. Like, well, I've cheated on you
- 9:2415 times and you took me back, so now it's boring.
- 9:26I know you're going to take me back.
- 9:27And then they'll leave you alone.
- 9:29They'll leave you alone. They'll leave you high, dry and
- 9:31broken, and you'll be angry and sell it the world.
- 9:33That's what I'm just telling you.
- 9:35Some narcissists love a challenge.
- 9:37Just to treat you horribly, Just to make you feel bad about
- 9:41yourself, just to make you feel insignificant.
- 9:43Just to make you feel insecure. Just to.
- 9:45Just to. Yeah, just to jest.
- 9:47Just to jest. That's where it goes.
- 9:50So I want so many people out. This was my goal right here.
- 9:53Somebody asked me like why do you do what you do on social
- 9:56media? What's the what's the point of
- 9:57the YouTube, YouTube channel? So y'all, I want to help as many
- 10:00people as possible live a healthy, happy, authentic lives
- 10:04because that's what my goal is for myself.
- 10:08It just is. So I'm everybody who likes and
- 10:11comments and shares and watching my videos to the end.
- 10:13I truly, truly appreciate y'all, everybody who subscribes to my
- 10:16channel. I truly appreciate y'all,
- 10:17because my challenge right now is a challenge to help as many
- 10:21people as possible, people who didn't think they could be
- 10:23reached, people who didn't think that their minds could be
- 10:26changed. That's my challenge.
- 10:27You see what you're saying? That's I chased that high, and
- 10:28that's a high. There's there's plenty of people
- 10:31I can help. You know what I mean?
- 10:32Help rather than hurt. You know, I chase that right
- 10:35there until, until that narcissistic person in your life
- 10:39is chasing, you know, the ability to get people back and
- 10:42hurt people. They yeah, that's who they're
- 10:44going to be because that's where they get their high from.
- 10:47That's where they get their for their fulfillment from is by
- 10:50hurting people. You know what I mean?
- 10:52Literally by hurting people, this is what they do.
- 10:56This is the mindset. This is the the.
- 10:57I'm just telling y'all this is where it goes.
- 11:00This is how it happens. So you have to be as strong as
- 11:03you possibly can in order to live the life that you want.
- 11:06And you can live authentically because you have to choose you.
- 11:09What is your challenge? You have to challenge yourself
- 11:14to live a healthier life, to live a better life, to
- 11:16understand you don't need this person.
- 11:19You mean there's more time you take them back.
- 11:20The less of a challenge it is, the more bored they become with
- 11:23you and they will discard you and get rid of you.
- 11:25But just because they discard you and get rid of you does not
- 11:28mean that they will leave you alone.
- 11:29They will still make your life a living hell.
- 11:32The challenge for you is to live your life as healthy and
- 11:35authentic as possible. Self love is the greatest love.
