Transcript
- 0:00What is going on, beautiful people?
- 0:02Today we are talking about why narcissists hate your
- 0:05boundaries. Or hate when you set boundaries.
- 0:07Hate people with boundaries in general.
- 0:09If you're new here, my name is Lee Hammock.
- 0:11I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist.
- 0:13And welcome to another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:32Yeah, Welcome back, Welcome back.
- 0:34Welcome back. Y'all.
- 0:35Yes, yes, yes. Narcissists, toxic people,
- 0:38absolutely despise the fact that you have boundaries, that you
- 0:43set boundaries, that boundaries, or even that the word boundary
- 0:47even exists in the dictionary. Like, hate it, hate it, hate it,
- 0:51despise it. To the end.
- 0:53Yeah, I'm just, this is me just being real with you.
- 0:56Like, keep it hot. Keep it hot and ready like a
- 0:58Little Caesar's pizza. Like, hate it.
- 1:01But why? Why do boundaries set
- 1:04narcissists off so furiously? And no, not all narcissists
- 1:09rage. You do get the passive
- 1:11aggressive, covert narcissist that gives you the solid
- 1:13treatment. Because you set a boundary that
- 1:16ignores you. Because you set a boundary that
- 1:17just, you know, disappears and ghosts you.
- 1:19Because you set a boundary. You know because you know the
- 1:23main reason why? Because boundaries are control
- 1:27you. You having control boundaries or
- 1:32you having boundaries is a form of control for you, for the
- 1:37survivor, the victim, the thrive or whatever.
- 1:39Whatever position that you're in right now.
- 1:41Boundaries are a form of control for you, and Narcissist won't to
- 1:47have control damn near over every single thing that has to
- 1:50do with you. Damn near over every single
- 1:52thing that that is involved with you that you are involved with.
- 1:55They want control over every single thing.
- 1:57They don't want you to have any type of autonomy in the
- 1:59relationship or over your own life.
- 2:01So they like to have control. So when you have boundaries, you
- 2:04set boundaries. It sets them off.
- 2:07And people ask me, how do I get a narcissist to leave me alone?
- 2:09How do I stop attracting narcissists?
- 2:10Set healthy boundaries at the beginning It really is like a
- 2:15damn force field. A narc force field.
- 2:18A boundaries are narc force field.
- 2:20It's just like you bout to go out on the first date.
- 2:22You just like OK, this I met this person on Hinge or
- 2:25Christian Mingle or wherever right and you like oops I forgot
- 2:30my boundary spray. Take that bell up, Boundaries
- 2:32deodorant. Hit yourself underneath the arm
- 2:35right here. Boundaries look boundary.
- 2:38Ibuprofen Ibuprofen. Pop it.
- 2:41You know, throw some, you know, throw a little salt on it.
- 2:44Throw some salt over your shoulder, whatever it is in that
- 2:46space right there. But set those boundaries.
- 2:48Get ready to have boundaries in your purse or in your wallet.
- 2:52Get ready to pull out the Boundaries card when you need
- 2:55it, because it drives them away. Quick break Y'all.
- 2:58Sorry for the interruption. Want to make sure you hit that
- 3:00subscribe button? Turn on all notifications.
- 3:03Check out my courses and my support groups as well.
- 3:05And back to your video and the easiest, the most efficient
- 3:10boundary is only a. It's a 2 letter word.
- 3:13I'm going to let y'all guess. Type that two letter word in the
- 3:16comment section right now or say it out loud.
- 3:19I want you to say that if I don't even type it down, type it
- 3:21down and type it and say it's two letter word, it starts with
- 3:25an N and ends with O. If you think about it, you know
- 3:32what I'm saying? HLMNO.
- 3:37If you think about it, the word it's the word no.
- 3:39And the reason I got silent right there because I had, I had
- 3:41to do the alphabet really quickly and I had to do the
- 3:46alphabet really quickly in my mind.
- 3:47Because guess what? Y'all they teach you.
- 3:49Look, whoever put the alphabet together is teaching you your
- 3:54first boundary because the word no is in the alphabet.
- 3:57It's literally in the alphabet. It's MNO, it's NOP.
- 4:02It's them near Nope. Elvis.
- 4:04If he was right there, it'd be Nope.
- 4:05It is like Nope it it's the beginning of it.
- 4:08No, it's y'all. Your boundaries are in your
- 4:10alphabet. That's all like they're teaching
- 4:12you. Whoever created the alphabet
- 4:16would have boundaries in mind. Had had your first boundary in
- 4:20mind. You didn't even know it.
- 4:22You didn't even know it. N0N, 0P, y'all no is a boundary.
- 4:29Keep that with you at all times because narcissistic people hate
- 4:32the word no. Learn how to say it early and
- 4:36often. You don't have to say yes to
- 4:39every single thing in the beginning of a relationship.
- 4:41If you are uncomfortable with something, say no.
- 4:44I'm not comfortable with that because narcissists hate
- 4:46rejection and the word no is rejection damn near under almost
- 4:52under any type of circumstance. The word no is a form of
- 4:56rejection to narcissists. So if you just if you just
- 4:58breathe the word no, if you utter the word no, then just say
- 5:04it can set a narcissistic person off.
- 5:06So that's what me telling you is just learn how to use the word
- 5:08no because they can protect you. It can say if you can help you
- 5:12heal, they can help you grow. The word no is in your arsenal,
- 5:15so use it. Use it wisely.
- 5:18Use it. Use use it early and often
- 5:19because one of the biggest mistakes a lot of people make
- 5:22early on in the in the relationship is they don't.
- 5:25You want to say yes to everything because you want to
- 5:27be. You want to get this person to
- 5:28like you, right? You want this person.
- 5:30You want to be amenable to things.
- 5:31You want this person to, you know, I want this person to
- 5:33really like me. So you go above and beyond to
- 5:36get you know, you go above and beyond to get this person to
- 5:39like you, which is understandable, which makes
- 5:41sense in a lot of different aspects of things.
- 5:43It makes sense to get want this person to like you.
- 5:45So you say yes, but learn how. If you don't really want to do
- 5:48it, you don't have to do it. Say no early and often.
- 5:52You know, say no early and often.
- 5:55No is a boundary. I'm not comfortable with that.
- 5:57I don't like that. I really don't want to do that.
- 5:59That doesn't work for me. I'm not interested in doing
- 6:01that. I don't want to change my
- 6:03religion. I I I'm an ardent Christian.
- 6:06I look, I I grew. I was raised Muslim.
- 6:08I don't want to change the fact that I'm a Jehovah's Witness,
- 6:10whatever it is. Jehovah's Witnesses.
- 6:12Yeah, whatever your religion is, that's keeping your religion is
- 6:15the boundary. You can have different.
- 6:17There's different types of boundaries.
- 6:18Y'all there's so many different types of boundaries.
- 6:20There's, you know, there's physical boundaries.
- 6:23I don't like. You have physical boundaries
- 6:25like a damn fence around your life.
- 6:27Narcissists hate boundaries because boundaries are like
- 6:29fences. Narcissists are they have to
- 6:31jump. They have to jump fences or
- 6:33climb under fences or find a way through the gate or get you to
- 6:36open the gate to allow them into your life.
- 6:39That's why they hate boundaries. That's why they hate it, because
- 6:41it's hard. It's hard to work.
- 6:42It's more effort to get around boundaries.
- 6:44You you are high, they might look the fact.
- 6:46The matter of fact. If you have boundaries, they
- 6:49might call you high maintenance or too picky.
- 6:53Your standards are too high. When you have boundaries,
- 6:56somebody will tell you that you're high maintenance.
- 6:58That's crazy, isn't it? Isn't it?
- 6:59If you say no to something yo you too high maintenance.
- 7:01I don't want you anyway. You too picky.
- 7:03I don't want you anyway. Blah blah blah Boo Boo, BBB,
- 7:05whatever. Whatever it is, you know there
- 7:07are physical boundaries. You have boundaries in the
- 7:09bedroom. If certain things you don't want
- 7:11to do, you don't do it. Sorry, I'm not as flexible as I
- 7:15used to be. So I don't.
- 7:16The Kama Sutra doing the Kama Sutra, breaking out some of
- 7:20those positions don't make, don't I?
- 7:21I don't want to do that. My leg used to go behind my
- 7:26head, but now it just gets to my it can get here, but behind my
- 7:29head and wrapped into like, wrapped into a pretzel and spun
- 7:33around and dangled from the ceiling and prayed over and
- 7:37oiled up. No, you can say.
- 7:40You can say no. Seriously, you can have
- 7:43emotional and mental boundaries. They hate those as well.
- 7:46Y'all because they they feel like if you say no to something
- 7:48in the bedroom, that's a form of rejection.
- 7:50And then what? What they'll do is they'll
- 7:52they'll just make you feel guilty about it and then they'll
- 7:54think, well, you won't do it. Somebody else will.
- 7:56You know you won't do it. Somebody else will do it.
- 7:59You don't want to have an open relationship.
- 8:01I guess I got to go find somebody else to do it.
- 8:03Everybody else will do it because you just you're just
- 8:05boring. You're a fuddy Duddy.
- 8:07You're blah, blah, blah, you Boo, Boo, Boo, BBBBB.
- 8:09They'll make you feel bad and make you feel like they're going
- 8:11to do something else to you. You know they they absolutely
- 8:14will. They make you feel like they're
- 8:15going to hurt you in some way, shape or form.
- 8:17They're going to do something to you in some way, shape or form,
- 8:18like you're going to miss out on me.
- 8:20They try to violate your boundaries because boundaries
- 8:22are hard work. Boundaries take effort to get
- 8:24get across. They want people relaxed
- 8:26boundaries. So you you let like if you if
- 8:30you have boundaries originally, right.
- 8:32You're like your boundaries can be a damn 10 foot fence around
- 8:35your life. Right.
- 8:37But if you were the type of person that just did a drop your
- 8:39boundary because you find somebody attracted they love
- 8:41that or you don't kiss on the first Hey, sorry I have a
- 8:44boundary. I don't kiss on the first day.
- 8:46Oh I thought you liked me. Guess not.
- 8:50You know typically people kiss me on the 1st day.
- 8:52Whatever. I get it.
- 8:52I get it. I mean I get, I get you, you
- 8:54really like me. Whatever I guess.
- 8:55I guess I got you know been fun because I never see you again,
- 8:59right. And then y'all drop your
- 9:00boundaries because you you they got dreads or they they
- 9:03attracted to you. They have a nice set of cheeks
- 9:04on their body is banging whatever it is they got money
- 9:07whatever it is. I don't want to miss out on
- 9:09them. So you drop that that 10 foot
- 9:10fence that you had about not wanting to kiss on the first
- 9:13day. Now you don't dropped it.
- 9:14Now you set the precedence that all it takes is a little
- 9:16pressure for your boundaries to go down.
- 9:18You know, it's literally like the damn 3 little pigs.
- 9:21I've been the Three Little Pigs, 11 pig.
- 9:22One pig built this house out of straw, the other one built this
- 9:25house out of like dirt or sand or something.
- 9:27And then you got the one little pig that built this house out of
- 9:30bricks. The wolves eating the wolves got
- 9:33the hold of the little pigs that built their house out of straw
- 9:36and saying the mud or whatever. The one that had that brick
- 9:39house they couldn't get in there, that brick houses
- 9:41boundaries that they were just not willing to shake.
- 9:44You know, the the brick house was boundaries that they were
- 9:46not willing to lower. Their their their their effort
- 9:48on you. They make you raise their
- 9:50effort. Y'all.
- 9:50Raise your standards. Boundaries are higher standards
- 9:53a lot of times and some narcissistic people don't want
- 9:56to meet those higher standards. You know, no, I said you can
- 9:59have those boundaries in the bedroom, the physical
- 10:00boundaries, those emotional boundaries.
- 10:02I don't want to be yelled at. You know, you don't want to be
- 10:05yelled at. They don't do things, don't do
- 10:07things. Let me yell at you.
- 10:08You see how that goes right there.
- 10:09You know, I I order went over the religious boundaries.
- 10:12Don't let don't. You don't have to change your
- 10:13religion. Somebody tries to make you
- 10:15change your religion to be with them.
- 10:16Y'all these didn't really going to work.
- 10:18But they are they willing they not willing to do the same thing
- 10:20for you. You have the you've been an
- 10:21ardent member member of your religion for as long as or
- 10:24longer than them. But somehow you have to be
- 10:26willing to give yours up because yours is less important.
- 10:28Boundaries right there, you know you can't.
- 10:30Boundaries that right there. Financial money.
- 10:32Boundaries. I don't.
- 10:33I think we're overspending. Let's have, let's set that
- 10:36budget. Let's do this.
- 10:37Let's do that. You know they hate that right
- 10:39there. They want to be in control of
- 10:40the money. They want the control of the
- 10:42money in these situations. They want access to every single
- 10:44bit of money and control every single bit of money that they
- 10:46have. They hate when they don't have
- 10:48that control. That's the reason narcissists
- 10:50hate when you have boundaries, because when you have
- 10:52boundaries, you are the one in control.
- 10:55You are the one that has the power.
- 10:56You are the one that that runs the show right here.
- 10:59You are the one that writes the ship and whatnot.
- 11:01So I tell people right there, you know you can have all these
- 11:04boundaries and whatnot and you also the last but not least the
- 11:07one, the last boundary type of the last type of boundary I
- 11:09found online there could be more is time boundaries.
- 11:12They want to control your time. If they cannot control your time
- 11:15they hate it. And they hate when they're not
- 11:16in control of your time because they think that you're spending
- 11:19your time with someone else when they're love bombing you.
- 11:21And you they they they're trying to absorb every moment a moment
- 11:25of free time that you have and you like, hey, look I need some
- 11:28time to myself. Why I thought you like me.
- 11:29I guess you don't really like me then, do you?
- 11:31I guess. I guess you go.
- 11:32I hope you enjoy whoever it is you rather be spending time
- 11:35with. I guess I'm going to go find
- 11:36somebody else. Has been time with.
- 11:37They'll make you feel bad about having boundaries on your time
- 11:40and space and effort and energy out.
- 11:41You can have boundaries. Set boundaries.
- 11:44Narcissists hate boundaries. I'm telling you.
- 11:45I'm telling you right now that they hate boundaries.
- 11:48You want to get a narcissist away from you, Set a damn
- 11:50boundary. Well, Lee, I've been to people
- 11:52pleasing my whole life. Now is the time that your whole
- 11:54life ain't over yet. Your whole.
- 11:55When you say whole life, that means your life is over.
- 11:57It's not over yet. So right now, starting this
- 12:00point right now, get on Google. Google what?
- 12:02What is a boundary? How do I set boundaries?
- 12:04How do I get more comfortable setting boundaries?
- 12:06And then move forward from there.
- 12:07And I will tell you straight up right now, it's a lot easier to
- 12:10set boundaries and Dr. people away in the beginning than it is
- 12:13to try to set a boundary in the marriage that you've been in for
- 12:1430 years. Then it is to try to set a
- 12:17boundary that you've been in, a marriage or relationship that
- 12:18you've been in for 45 years, a friendship that you've had a
- 12:21boundary with your parent. You see with your parent, not
- 12:24with your kids or with your kids.
- 12:25If your kids are narcissistic, it's harder to set boundaries
- 12:28later on. It's it's easier to set the
- 12:30boundaries when the ground is soft.
- 12:32You see, It's easier to build that fence when the ground is
- 12:35soft. When the sea, before the cement
- 12:37sets, when you know how you when you the fence post, Yeah, they
- 12:40had to put the cement in the fence post.
- 12:42You had to put the cement in the ground.
- 12:44It's easier to set that fence post in that wet cement than it
- 12:47is to be to try to set it in dry cement.
- 12:51You know, in wet cement it goes right down.
- 12:53You have to push it a little bit and force it.
- 12:55Imagine trying to set a fence post in dry cement.
- 12:58You you want to see how difficult and impossible it is.
- 13:00Go take a go take a fence post and just go to the your your
- 13:04local your nearest sidewalk and start banging it on the ground
- 13:07and see how long it takes you to make a dent in it.
- 13:10It's a lot easier to set boundaries before the cement
- 13:12sets, you know. So stay empowered, make sure you
