Transcript
- 0:00What is going on with people today?
- 0:02We are talking about how some narcissistic people, some toxic
- 0:06people, want you to chase after them if you're new here.
- 0:10My name is Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
- 0:12narcissist. And welcome to another episode
- 0:14of The Narcissist Code. So, yeah.
- 0:33Welcome back. Welcome back.
- 0:34Welcome back. Yes, Yes, yes.
- 0:36Some narcissistic people, some toxic people, absolutely want
- 0:41you to chase after them. What do you mean, Chasely?
- 0:45Like, how do we, like, physically Sprint after them?
- 0:48Like, like you. Like, you mean like you're
- 0:52chasing down a car, like you're running a marathon.
- 0:54No. I mean, sometimes yes.
- 0:56But most times what I mean chase after them is that some of them,
- 1:01yeah, will make they play hard to get.
- 1:05Even when you have gotten them even like when you're already
- 1:09locked into a relationship with them, even when you're locked
- 1:11into a marriage with them, even when you're locked into Co
- 1:15parent with them, whatever it is they want you to chase after
- 1:20them. Because a lot of narcissistic
- 1:22people, most narcissists, want to feel like they matter in some
- 1:26way, shape or form, right? So how do I, how do I, how do I
- 1:30test your love for me? How do I do this?
- 1:32How do I do that? Some of them will break up with
- 1:35you on purpose, like some narcissistic people will break
- 1:38up or offer you trial separations or say we need some
- 1:41time apart or I need some space or something like that in order
- 1:46to get a reaction from you. And typically, the reaction that
- 1:50they're looking for is for you to pursue them.
- 1:54They like pursue. Yeah.
- 1:55Means physically come after them, but also emotionally chase
- 2:00them, Like verbally chase them. They want you to be blowing
- 2:04their phones up. They want you to call all times
- 2:06tonight. They want you to pop up at their
- 2:08house. They want you to look like you
- 2:11want them. Because when, like, I'll say
- 2:15this inside the mind of a lot of narcissistic people, like if you
- 2:20chase me, that means that I I can get away with stuff.
- 2:27If you are the one that is chasing after me, if you are the
- 2:31one that is pursuing me, then I can get away with stuff.
- 2:37I can free. I can get away with stuff.
- 2:40I can move on. I I can move, You know, I can
- 2:43move differently within the relationship or outside of the
- 2:47relationship. It means if you're always
- 2:49chasing me, if you're always picking the phone up, if you're
- 2:52always texting me or calling me, doing a breakup, doing a trial
- 2:55separation, that means that you still want me.
- 2:58And that means, like, I can do certain things.
- 3:04Can I not? You mean that means I can do
- 3:07certain things. That means I can move forward.
- 3:08That means I can, like progress and do what I want to do outside
- 3:14or inside of this relationship from now on.
- 3:16It's like if you're chasing me, I get to make the rules within
- 3:21the relationship, don't I? Why?
- 3:24Why'd you chase me? Why you text me back?
- 3:27Why are you calling me all times tonight?
- 3:30Why are you trying to see me? You know, if if I don't get to
- 3:34make the rules, if I don't get to set the rules, then why are
- 3:37you coming after me? You see how the minds of some
- 3:41narcissistic people work and yo this is also true before you get
- 3:47into a relationship with them. If you are the if you are the
- 3:51pursuer, if you are the suitor, if you are the person that is
- 3:55going after the narcissist or toxic person, you might not get
- 3:59love bombed. Like if I am a covert,
- 4:05introverted narcissist, right. And you come out.
- 4:08You like me, you like oh, I like Lee.
- 4:09I like those Reds. I like.
- 4:11Whatever I like how he's funny or whatever, whatever you like
- 4:13about me. You know I'm joking, but like
- 4:16what? Like if you come after me, If
- 4:18you are pursuing me, if you are showing me signs that you like
- 4:22me even before we get together, even before, Like if you asking
- 4:26me out. That means that I have a little
- 4:29bit of free reign to do what I want to do.
- 4:32I don't have to go as hard as I would if I was the pursuer.
- 4:37If I'm chasing after you, if I'm love bombing you, you have to
- 4:42woo me over because you like me, don't you?
- 4:46You made it clear that you like me.
- 4:48You made it clear. So now you have to chase me.
- 4:51You see what I'm saying? That's the mindset that a lot of
- 4:53narcissistic people talks to. People fall into.
- 4:55Y'all. I'm not saying everybody does
- 4:57this because sometimes, a lot of times, the narcissist ends up
- 5:00being the one that comes after you, right?
- 5:03They end up being the one that pursues you, right?
- 5:04So that happens so much like, but you if you are the person
- 5:09that is chasing them, then yeah, you probably won't get love
- 5:12bombed you. Probably.
- 5:13They probably won't. They probably won't come after
- 5:17you like that. They probably won't do things
- 5:18for you. You know, that's what I'm just
- 5:20saying. Like if a narcissistic person,
- 5:23especially y'all, if if they use, yeah, this is, this is
- 5:29really true. If they are consistently and
- 5:32like constantly using a breakup as a form of manipulation, like
- 5:37if they are always, always threatening to break up with you
- 5:41or leave you for some reason. This is, this is really going to
- 5:44be true in a lot of those circumstances.
- 5:46If they use a breakup as a tool of manipulation, like, well, I'm
- 5:50just going to leave. I'm going to, I'm just going to
- 5:53break up with you. And they break and sometimes
- 5:55they do break up with you, but like the same day, y'all be
- 5:58talking back together. Like that's how they use it to
- 6:01control you. They use the breakups as a tool
- 6:04to control you and to manipulate you, to get you to chase after
- 6:08them, to get you to feel like you're not doing enough for them
- 6:11to get you to change certain behaviors.
- 6:13Because if you are chasing me, that means I'm OK, right?
- 6:17That means I have minimal work to do.
- 6:20That means I can convince you that you need to change
- 6:24something about yourself if you want this relationship to work,
- 6:28which I think you do because you are pursuing me.
- 6:34You see that. You see that mentality.
- 6:35You see how that mind works right there in that situation.
- 6:38You. That's why I'm just telling
- 6:39people like, if they can sit, if they're consistently, constantly
- 6:42breaking up with you, they want you to chase them.
- 6:45And some narcissistic people. Yeah.
- 6:47Is it that I know a lot of people are going to ask, like,
- 6:49is it really that deep? Do not do narcissists have that
- 6:52deep a thought process? Most narcissists don't think
- 6:54like this. They're just doing it.
- 6:57It's like a subconscious thing, me because I'm self aware I
- 7:01have, I have a different level of understanding of how my mind
- 7:03works and why I would do certain things.
- 7:05So I can convey that to you from a from a different place.
- 7:09You know what I mean? I can convey that to you from a
- 7:13different dynamic. I can convey that to you from a
- 7:15like a different mindset and whatnot.
- 7:18I can like I can convey that to you from my own personal
- 7:20thoughts because I'm self aware and I have the ability to be
- 7:23more introspective than most narcissistic people.
- 7:26You know what I mean? It is not me saying I'm the most
- 7:28introspective narcissist, I'm the most, I'm the most
- 7:31introspective narcissist in the world.
- 7:33This is me saying like I can. That's how I can communicate
- 7:36this to you on a different plane right here because like most
- 7:40narcissists can't do that. They they're not going to talk
- 7:41to you in this way. They don't have that ability to
- 7:45do that. So that's what I'm saying.
- 7:48Like they they are consistently, constantly breaking up with you.
- 7:51It might be time for you to end it for good.
- 7:54I'm not. Like I say again, I'm not
- 7:55telling everybody to leave their relationship.
- 7:56That's why I say it might be time for you.
- 7:58Like if you are getting tired of the back and forth and they keep
- 8:02coming back and you or you are the one to reach out, you are
- 8:06the 1 to pursue them, then yeah, they're going to make you.
- 8:09You are responsible for making the changes that make the
- 8:13relationship go. You are responsible for the
- 8:16making the changes that make the relationship kind of the wheels
- 8:18turn on the relationship, so to speak.
- 8:21You are. So that's why I'm just telling
- 8:22people like if this is a a constant in your life like the
- 8:27breaking up the on and off, on and off, on and off.
- 8:30And they are deeply and they keep breaking up with you.
- 8:33And the reason that y'all go off so much is because they break up
- 8:37with you or they threaten to break up with you.
- 8:39And the reason that y'all go on is because you reach out to
- 8:43them. Then you are pretty much like
- 8:45reverse hoovering. You know, you're you're pretty
- 8:48much reverse. You're pretty pretty much
- 8:51reverse hoovering yourself. And if you don't know what the
- 8:54reverse Hoover is, it's when you, the victim, survive or
- 8:57thriver or not, you suck yourself back into the
- 9:00relationship. You reach out to them like you
- 9:03are the one, like they break up. They go damn near radio silent
- 9:08on your right, and then you miss them and then you reach out to
- 9:14them, you reach out to them and then you suck yourself back into
- 9:18the relationship. And when you do that, you pretty
- 9:20much like if it's a if it's a game, you lose.
- 9:23You know what I mean? If this is going to be viewed as
- 9:26a game in some way, shape or form, then you lose this.
- 9:29You're going to lose this game nine times out of 10.
- 9:32So it's just like how much struggle do you have in you?
- 9:36How much suffering do you have in you?
- 9:38Because dealing with a narcissistic person, you're
- 9:40going to struggle. You're going to suffer and like
- 9:44if y'all consistently breaking up, they want you to chase after
- 9:46them because like and again y'all sometimes they want you to
- 9:50chase after them just so they can have evidence that you are
- 9:54the chaser They can have. Like they can get your reactions
- 9:57on camera, they can get you crying and begging for them.
- 9:59Like if you if I get a recording of you crying and begging for me
- 10:04back in your life, then I win. Don't know, you know, if I get a
- 10:08recording, a recording or instance of you crying and
- 10:10begging me to come back, then don't.
- 10:12I win. I have this evidence now I can,
- 10:15I can damn there blackmail you with this.
- 10:17You see how that coercive control works right there?
- 10:20Y'all like just stay strong. That's what I'm just saying,
- 10:23like this video, just telling y'all that if you see yourself
- 10:26in the position of the person I'm referring to, like the
- 10:28chaser, you have to find some strength.
- 10:31Because if you don't, I'm just telling you this goes on for as
- 10:32long as you're allowed to go on and then you keep chasing them
- 10:36and they get into a new relationship.
- 10:37You're like, yeah, you'll literally chase them into a new
- 10:39relationship. Like you chase after them.
- 10:41Like you'll you'll be behind them trying to get them to come
- 10:43back and be in a new be in a relationship with you.
- 10:46While they're in a relationship with somebody else, you'll still
- 10:49be chasing after them. Like you'll be the old supply
- 10:51that they can go back to and cheat with and what not.
- 10:54You'll be the backup person. Don't be the backup person
- 10:56because sometimes that's why they want you to chase them.
- 10:58Because the more you chase me after we break up, the more I
- 11:02know I can move on and still have a backup plan.
- 11:06If I'm entertaining someone else and you're still reaching out to
- 11:08me, I you are now my backup plan.
- 11:12You say I can. I I think that I can move
- 11:14forward with somebody else and you'll still be there for me.
- 11:17You'll still be there with me and whatnot.
- 11:19You know, be with y'all. Thank you for tuning in to
