- 0:03narcissists feel bad later on in life for the bad things that
- 0:07they have done to other people? Does it ever catch up with them?
- 0:10Does grief ever hit them later on?
- 0:12If you're new here, I'm a self aware diagnosed narcissist and
- 0:15welcome to another episode of the Narcissist Code.
- 0:35Boom. Welcome back, welcome back,
- 0:36welcome back. You let y'all question of the
- 0:39day, question of the hour, question of the year, question
- 0:42of the century. What kind of bear is best?
- 0:46That's a ridiculous question. False Black bear.
- 0:50Bears eat beets. Y'all know what it is for a
- 0:52drop, drop, drop their reference in the conversation.
- 0:54I appreciate y'all, but yes, y'all.
- 0:57Do narcissists feel bad later on for the things that they have
- 1:00done? Does it ever catch up with them?
- 1:01Does grief hit them later in life or does grief ever hit
- 1:04them? Does remorse ever hit them?
- 1:05Does guilt ever catch up to the narcissist?
- 1:07Or can or narcissist going to be fast as hell and being able to
- 1:10outrun the guilt and the shame and the remorse and the regret
- 1:14the entirety of their life? That's the question, right?
- 1:16And that's the question I'm going to be hammered away at
- 1:18today, y'all. So just before we hop into
- 1:21today's episode, y'all make sure you check out joining in my
- 1:23support group called the Mental Healers.
- 1:24It's available helps out a lot of people.
- 1:26You can find everything my courses as well at
- 1:28courses.mentalillness.net. But yes, y'all, the question of
- 1:32the day, question of the hour. Do narcissists ever feel bad for
- 1:36what they have done later on? No, So my my therapist has asked
- 1:40me this question before and I tell I told my therapist this
- 1:43before. Y'all might y'all might have
- 1:45heard me say this in videos before, but I'm I'm going to
- 1:47expound upon it deeper today. She like, hey, she like describe
- 1:51how you feel guilt. She like, do you ever feel
- 1:53guilty for anything you do? Describe guilt.
- 1:56And I was told I was just like, you know what I do sometimes.
- 2:00But I'll start feeling guilty in the moment that I've done
- 2:03something right after I've done something.
- 2:06And my mind, I would feel bad and I'll start beating myself
- 2:10up, but in my mind will do these mental gymnastics where it will
- 2:14find a way to justify my actions to me.
- 2:17My own mind will justify my own toxic behaviors and toxic
- 2:22actions to myself. I find it finds a way to do it
- 2:26and this is not me trying to make it up and just say no
- 2:28crazy. My mind finds a way to do it
- 2:31right. My mind finds a way to, to, to,
- 2:34to, to morph and put the blame on the other person.
- 2:37That's the way my mind works and that's how I try to convey it to
- 2:40other people. But in these circumstances and
- 2:43like today's circumstances, the way life goes, so many people
- 2:46are running into narcissistic people, right?
- 2:48And dealing with narcissistic people that don't feel bad at
- 2:50all. Like my guilt would go away and
- 2:53it would blame, I would blame the other person.
- 2:55But this is the caveat. This is the new stuff I've been
- 2:58thinking about lately. Y'all lately it hits me later on
- 3:02y'all the guilt. I can't speak for every single
- 3:05narcissist, but I've I've seen people in the group in my in
- 3:09like in the self aware narcissist group on Facebook
- 3:10that I mean I've seen people in those groups say something very
- 3:14similar. They'll say like I feel bad
- 3:17later. I feel bad years later for
- 3:19something I've done, like for something that they've done
- 3:22years later, they'll start to feel bad.
- 3:25And this type of stuff has been hitting me like a wave every
- 3:27once in a while. Y'all, I'll be driving down the
- 3:29highway. If y'all don't know, I'm a real
- 3:31estate agent in North Carolina, right?
- 3:32And I'll be driving down the highway minding my own damn
- 3:35business. Chilling, chilling like a
- 3:37villain, right? I've been chilling like a
- 3:39villain. I've been driving down the
- 3:40highway doing this type of stuff and then all of a sudden out of
- 3:43nowhere it hits me. Like I'll be sad, like I'll be
- 3:46thinking about something I've done a long time ago and feel
- 3:48shame and feel bad as hell man. I'll be riding down the highway.
- 3:53Like you remember you did that. Like even something I've done
- 3:57even when I was a kid y'all like I was just like when I was 13
- 4:00years old, like we ordered some pizza and I was just hit it from
- 4:03my cousins and was sending ransom notes.
- 4:05Like the pizza is delicious from the guys who are eating it and
- 4:08things like that. I felt bad for that.
- 4:11I'm 39, this is 26 years ago. It'd be hit that y'all you can't
- 4:15control it because narcissists after they feel their guilt in
- 4:17the moment and they find a way to blame you, they it, it seems
- 4:20like it goes away, but it's it's actually stored.
- 4:24It's actually stored up. And I feel like our minds have a
- 4:27limited capacity for certain type of memories.
- 4:29So when we are is getting full, it has to release something.
- 4:32We have to release something, right?
- 4:34So in the moment, if I will feel bad for something I've done 20
- 4:38years ago from an ex I might have cheated on 20 years ago
- 4:43from something mean I might have said to somebody 15 years ago,
- 4:4710 years ago, when I was in a fight I got into at the YMCA
- 4:50when I was 14 years old because somebody said something about my
- 4:52Mama. Damn.
- 4:53They tried to drown somebody. Yeah, my mind.
- 4:56I didn't try to drown him. I knocked him in the pool.
- 4:58I punched him in the pool. They could swim.
- 5:00They were already in the pool. They got out the pool to fight.
- 5:05But I will feel bad and it sucks.
- 5:08I'm telling you, it hits me like a way.
- 5:09But I've seen this other similar, similar people say,
- 5:12what do you do with the guilt for something that you've been
- 5:14storing for 20 years, 10 years, 15 years?
- 5:17You have to acknowledge it. Sometimes the narcissist will
- 5:20still try to find a way to blame the other person, but it's
- 5:23harder 20 years later after you had time to settle in.
- 5:27So I have to acknowledge, to me, I have to acknowledge the stuff
- 5:30that I've done wrong to myself, right in my mind, like even to
- 5:34my mind, like even to like the EP people, my family members, if
- 5:39I'm still around that person in my life right now, that person
- 5:42is still around me in my life right now.
- 5:43I will apologize to stuff I've done in the past.
- 5:46Like you know what, remember that time right here?
- 5:47I'm sorry. I really am sorry.
- 5:49I was in a whole different space of my life right then and there.
- 5:51That doesn't excuse it. Those behaviors were
- 5:53unacceptable. I just let you know, like I
- 5:55still feel bad to this day about that type of stuff and I just
- 5:58had to get out. I just had to let you know, you
- 5:59got to forgive me, but I just had to let you know.
- 6:03I'll say the type of stuff now. That's how I get rid of it.
- 6:06You know, if that person is no longer in my life, I talk about
- 6:09to my therapist or I just write it down.
- 6:11I have it has to go somewhere. I can't sit.
- 6:13I still can't sit with it. I've been sitting with it for 20
- 6:16years. That's why I came back out now.
- 6:18So the best method of have to avoid this stuff in the future
- 6:22is to live a better life right now.
- 6:25So you might have some parents or people.
- 6:28That's why you get these toxic narcissistic people.
- 6:30Sometimes they'd be sick or on their deathbeds that have been
- 6:33excommunicated from their kids or have disconnected from their
- 6:35kids or discarded their kids or the kids stop talking to them.
- 6:38They try to reach out to the kids, try to get the kids to
- 6:40come back to them, try to just get something off their chest,
- 6:43try to feel so they they won't have to feel bad when they're
- 6:45about to crossover. They don't want to feel bad.
- 6:48They'd be like, damn it, you know what?
- 6:49I've been trying to do this, I've been trying to do that.
- 6:52I feel horrible. I've been feeling this right
- 6:55here. I've been feeling that right
- 6:56there. I just, I just feel so bad for
- 6:58the stuff that I've done and stuff that I've said.
- 7:00That's the mindset right there. You know what I mean?
- 7:05That's the mindset, that's the dynamic, that's the way it goes
- 7:08right there. I'm telling you, that's how it
- 7:10happens. Like they it has to be able to
- 7:13go somewhere. It absolutely does.
- 7:17And if it doesn't have anywhere to go, it just manifests and
- 7:20just destroys them from the inside out.
- 7:22Let me give you an example of how this, let me give you an
- 7:24example of how this could come out in a relationship that you
- 7:27have right now with your narcissistic partner or ex or
- 7:29whoever it is. Like, have you ever done
- 7:32something minor and that narcissist blew up at you out of
- 7:36nowhere? Like they took it to the 15th
- 7:38level? You're like, what the hell?
- 7:40All I said was this. Why are you yelling and
- 7:41screaming and throwing stuff at me?
- 7:44A wave, a big old guilt and shame and remorse or regret or
- 7:48whatever hit them. And because you're the closest
- 7:51person to them, they took it out on you.
- 7:54Something they, something that they've done in the past hit
- 7:57them in that moment and they took it out on you.
- 7:59They don't know what else to do with it.
- 8:01They don't know how to process it.
- 8:03A lot of times they're not in contact with their exes that
- 8:05they've done wrong or whoever they've done wrong in their
- 8:07past. They're not in contact with them
- 8:08anymore, so they can't do anything about it.
- 8:10So they take it out on you. They lash out on you and guess
- 8:12what happens? You say how to cycle.
- 8:13Who continues because they haven't dealt with the past
- 8:15stuff. It comes up in the present.
- 8:17They take it out on their present partner and guess what
- 8:19happens in the future? The stuff that they did to you
- 8:21today might hit them like a wave later on.
- 8:26You see, it might, you might, you might still be with them.
- 8:28So you going to get it again. If they don't learn how to
- 8:31process it and do and deal with it in a healthy way, it will
- 8:35almost always come out in an unhealthy way.
- 8:38That's the way it works right there.
- 8:40I'm not saying that there's no in between, but typically that's
- 8:42the way it works right there. If you ever dealt with a
- 8:45narcissist or a toxic person, typically that's the way it's
- 8:48going to work. Typically that's the way it's
- 8:49going to do it. That's that's how we go about
- 8:51doing things right there, y'all. So that's why I've been trying
- 8:53to tell y'all. Like, I mean, I'll be telling
- 8:55y'all, it's not you. It's not your fault that this
- 8:58person is yelling and screaming at you.
- 8:59It's not your fault this person trying to hurt you.
- 9:01It's not your fault. This is what I mean.
- 9:03Like sometimes you won't be even be doing anything and then your
- 9:06narcissistic partner or whoever will try to pick a fight with
- 9:09you. And a lot of times if they've
- 9:11done you wrong and then now you're not together anymore.
- 9:14Let's say you still have to Co parent with them and they're
- 9:16still taking out anger on you. Guess what happens?
- 9:18They're still holding in and stuff.
- 9:20They still trying to blame you for it and don't know what to do
- 9:22with the emotions. They don't know what to do with
- 9:23it. So yeah, some of y'all could
- 9:25call it karma. Some some people will refer to
- 9:27it as karma. Like is that karma?
- 9:28Yeah, it probably is karma it, but it's like brain overload.
- 9:31Like I promise you, I'll be sitting there chilling, having a
- 9:33good day and then a wave will hit me one of these ways.
- 9:36It's like I'm standing on the beach with my eyes closed like
- 9:38this is peaceful. Get knocked off my feet by a
- 9:41tsunami wave. You know what I mean?
- 9:43You know it's going to be like, and this is the post piece I
- 9:45felt along. Bam, what the hell?
- 9:48Knock me off my feet. That's the way it goes.
- 9:51That's how it happens right there.
- 9:52That's the space that so many of us fall into.
- 9:54So many of you fall into as well.
- 9:56That's how it's a very, it's a very sad dynamic to be a part of
- 10:00because again, there's nothing that you can do to control that.
- 10:04There's nothing that you can do to to make that go away for
- 10:07them. That's something that narcissist
- 10:08has to process themselves. And I'm about to start myself
- 10:11with a guy in myself for a narcissist group.
- 10:12He inspired me to start myself with a Sunday series back up.
- 10:15He's like, man, just start it back up.
- 10:16I might just, well, I might just start interviewing narcissist.
- 10:19I might just thought I might just get a narcissist cohost and
- 10:22just chat with him on Sundays and just see how that goes.
- 10:25I used to do that on TikTok, but the dude went crazy.
- 10:29Yeah. Yeah, that's to answer your
- 10:30question. They do feel bad later on in
- 10:32life and it just hits them. And they might not ever reach
- 10:34out to you, but just know that they're not sitting there in
- 10:35peace. Is the waves.
- 10:38The waves are hitting them the way it's there.
- 10:40The waves are absolutely crashing down on them.
- 10:44They're getting hit by waves, but they have, look, they're
- 10:46going to keep getting him by way getting hit by waves until they
- 10:49get off the beach, you know, and it might not ever get off the
- 10:51beach. Wherever they are in life right
- 10:53now, it's not your fault. It's not on you.
- 10:55Anyway, I'm keep this short and sweet 'cause I do have a
- 10:57one-on-one I have to hop on to right now.
