it’s not the mood that does the damage but how you react to it.
Mindfulness
Mark Williams, Danny Penman
It’s often said that bullies and narcissists have low self-esteem. But [research](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-8721.00053?casa_token=125WwpKqfXYAAAAA:xrVaU0pmX5v71guDiJzw4e1km766wnXStlbnl1yaaapf2cFh7gjfmnd6b4ZXGQ4UoWenpraMoloa) paints a different picture: Narcissists actually have high but *unstable* self-esteem. They crave status and approval and become hostile when their fragile egos are threatened—when they’re insulted, rejected, or shamed. By appealing to their desire to be admired, you can counteract their knee-jerk tendency to reject a difference of opinion as criticism.
