  • Narcissistic people tend to be tricksters and great manipulators. They have tactics and methods to convince you that their behaviors are either for your benefit or your fault. In episode 975 of THE NARCISSISTS' CODE I, Lee Hammock a self aware narcissist, go deep into the mind of a narcissist to reveal how they convince you to take blame and how they consistently duck accountability.

    Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.
    The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

    The experience of dealing with a narcissistic personality is like exploring a psychological hall of mirrors, where every reflection distorts reality, leaving you questioning the authenticity of your own perceptions.

      I was raised by the Cluster Bs' and also dated one. All of them hurt me "in the name of love" (relatives). Or "in the name of common sense" (boyfriend). My boyfriend was the first and only man in my life. He knew I had no previous experience with such type of relationship, so he basically convinced me, that what I want is "not normal in relationships", while what he wanted is perfectly fine, reasonable, mature.
      I never saw healthy relationships "in action", so I had no point of reference! My ex bf seemed "normal", simply because his strategies were different then what I was familiar with.
      It's heartbreaking how I had no chance to escape his manipulations based on, as you said, hall of mirrors! When I learnt about CLuster Bs, I couldn't believe how distorted was the reality of my childhood and my relationship.

    My kids father never used the word narcissist until I told him that I think he was. Now he throws it back at me, all the time. So much so that I don’t even argue with him anymore. I don’t even confront him with issues because he’s so much better at freaking out on me, not letting me speak and ranting. It’s twisted and they really mess up your head and warp your thinking. I’m still struggling. Definitely if you can get away from a bad mental situation leave before they warp your thinking.

So I walked home from the hospital a 2 hour walk on a cold night in November.When I got in he was on his phone( later I found out it was tinder)Thinking back I wish I left that night but I didn’t. All night long he said that I need to take accountability.

    This hits me really hard. My birth family is like this. They had me thoroughly gaslit and trapped until I refused to put my life in detriment for them. I put up with too much. I still have almost no sense of self but I'm free.

    • @missstarrynight7736
      @missstarrynight7736 6 місяців тому

      Sense of self comes with time. In my case it started to appear as a by-product of my process of self-defining, which based of "WHAT I AM NOT" .
      I started with "I am not an object". Yupp. at some point of my life I believed I was kinda sorta "human object", living KitchenAid. I believed I should be "functional" and do what others tell me to do. My ex bf even called me "a damaged object" once or twice.
      As a child I was told, I am, say "a burden ,weirdo, who won't be liked by anyone". As an adult I know, that I was told so, because my family wanted to keep me isolated from others. Such isolation worked for my relatives benefit in many ways: they didn't have to organize my play dates, and by so spend time, effort and money on me. They didn't have to protect me from bullying - which covered their personal cowardice. They could make me belief, that "others" won't like me, while it were they who didn't.
      I met a friend online, we love each other like sisters. We live in different countries, but we are really close to each other. We know each other very well, and we are friends for good and for bad. It was tested and proven! I asked her one day, why she likes me. She said: "Well, because who you are makes you really likeable and you're the most lovable person I met, and it's an honour to be your friend!". So I asked her about my flaws, and she responded: "Everyone has some flaws and yours are super tiny according to my standards". There! "According to my standards...."
      Narcissist have SICK standards. If you don't match their sick standards, you're to be punished. Precisely for that one reason - you are NOT sick / mad/ cunning / insane!
      So, you see, once you start to meet mentally healthy people, it will help you to define yourself. You will think : "I was told I am X, but this situation proves I am Y. So I am Y without a doubt!"

    In my experience with Nparents, they play the hot-and-cold game. One minute they'll yell, hurl insults and act like you're not a part of the family, and the next minute, they are all cuddly, pleasant, or at least tolerable. This goes on for various lengths, sprinkled with veiled threats and insinuations in-between those periods. For a bunch of people who consider themselves mature, they sure act terribly immature, often "getting back" for real or perceived slights.

    • @KoreaMojo
      @KoreaMojo 6 місяців тому

      It's not a game for them unless they got a lot of Machiavellian or psychopathic traits. They feel threatened by something, they react. Then the cathartic reaction allows them to calm down. Then it's good. But unless it's something you really are contributing to, you are kind of in the dark just being thrown into the impacts of a largely internal storm. A lot of people are like that in some form or fashion. It's something you can grow beyond or if not, you probably pass it on.
      All we can do is watch ourselves and notice when we are avoiding shame or unpleasant feelings about our true reality. Books on splitting maybe help any negative feelings this draws up because in my experience empathy helps me relax by understanding and not having to just excuse or sweep away the reality I'm in.

      He said it because that’s what was said to him as a child. Both my parents were narcissistic but my mother took the cake. She used to say the exact same thing. This is what’s referred to as generational demons. The behavior perpetuates the behavior in the next generation because that’s the behavior that was “normal” to the person as a child. It’s why some empaths have narcissistic tendencies. It’s “normal” until we realize it isn’t. Some people never realize it. I thank God that I never had kids because what I thought was normal in my early twenties was narcissistic. I might have ruined the lives of my children with what I thought was normal for a parent to do. I forgive my parents because I realize that narcissism is developed in childhood as a defense against being hurt. BTW I was sexually abused at three years old by my grandfather. I know how long the hurt lasts. It never fully goes away but I don’t dwell on it. I redirect my thoughts when it rears it’s ugly head. I’m in control of my life, not him. He’s long dead and it’s a waste of time to be mad at a dead man.

"But I am here with you now aren't I? What does that tell you? I'm here that is what is most important and you don't seem to appreciate that." Accountability: So many times I would tell him how his behavior hurt me and he would reply "I understand. I didn't mean for that to hurt you, I don't want to hurt you." But then of course he would keep doing it. Maybe wait a few weeks or a month, but would keep doing the behavior. I started to realize he never said I won't do it again. Finally I asked him, "You say you understand you are hurting me but are you going to stop doing it?" and his reply, "Um yeah, no."

    Exactly. And this reminds me of a lot of police officers who have narcissistic traits. Internal affairs and supervisiors trying to justify the cops bad behaviors, like how pointing a gun at someone for a minor crime or something like that was for ''safety purposes'' or that shooting a family beloved dog is somehow ''right'' because they would tell you, ''If you'd had control your dog, this wouldn't have happened.'' You can see the narcissism and toxicity going on in our police departments nowadays. The only reason why they kept getting away with it is because there are not enough accountability, and we all know narcissists HATE being held accountable.

He never saw my walking away coming. I remind myself EVERY day of how ashamed he made me feel by his betrayal and how he didn't care I'd be hurt even tho he knew. Do I care he never gets to see or talk to me again, HELL NO. 💛💪🏾😍

      Actually a lot of people do that. When it’s said in the heat of the moment it can sometimes be hyperbole or a sign they’ve not had time to process the event and calm down and be more rational. Narcissists will still be blaming the external powers 5 or 10 years after the event. Victims of narcissists can get into the habit of not taking accountability in almost the same way as the narc. This happens because throughout their lives they’ve been made to feel defective and wrong and forced to accept responsibility for almost everything. The shame they feel is equally toxic and becomes associated with accountability and they behave in defensive mood a lot in order to avoid the shame.

      @@manbearpig7950 She almost certainly was raised by a narcissist and abused. That's usually how narcissists start out life. They want to protect themselves and ensure they never feel like they did back then, and so they gradually turn into narcissists while still children.
      The sadism is a hallmark of the narcissist, but it is often expressed subtly or they try to disguise it as something else and even defend it using stock mindfulness phrases to actually make it sound positive and justified while further asserting the narcissist's so-called supremacy.
      The chances of an adult narcissist getting cureed are desperately slim. No one ever convinces a narcissist to enter therapy (or at least listen to any of it). They have to want to change in order to do it. The only power that anyone they're dating ever has is the power to walk away. They either walk way or accept the inevitable. If you walk away from her then I guarantee you'll heal a lot fast than if it were the other way around.
      Good luck to you.

    My son pushed a kitchen chair over during an argument and left. After he left his gf called police and told the police that he threw the chair and that it almost hit one of their children. The officer called CPS and turned it over to the prosecutors office. The prosecutor has initiated criminal charges against my son for child endangerment. I have witnessed her chasing him in the past and him running from her. He is 118 lbs and she is 160. I have told him before that her aggressive behavior and constant yelling and cussing at him and the kids really bothers me. He has always defended her behavior. But now he is facing criminal charges because she is fabricating what she told the police. It's heartbreaking to watch my son and grandkids go through her screaming rages.

    My narcissist brother always said he’s super with money/finances/real estate. He also always said our dad is terrible with money/finances/real estate (not true) and therefore my brother needs full authority over our dad’s bank account, his real estate and his wealth. My brother then told the whole family that our dad must give our brother full authority over his bank accounts and that our dad must sign over all his real estate to our narcissist brother. My dad was intelligent enough to not give my narcissist brother any kind of authority over his wealth. Now since a few years my narcissist brother is brainwashing our mother and her husband, telling them that I am really bad with money/finances/real estate (not true) and that they should take me out of their will. My brother even tells lies about me saying that I’m a drug and alcohol addict (both not true) and that I would loose all the inheritance, should they give me something from the inheritance. And therefore they should dive all of their inheritance to my brother.

It took me time to voice my feelings around this and I always felt guilty cause I was a teenager and thought I deserved it or was told so. Now my parent sometimes throws a insisting I'm sorry when we argue. The tone, the attitude, the moment all is odd yet on point to make feel miserable.
