Though there is nothing inherently wrong with any kind of emotion, some of them can lead to major amounts of distress when left unchecked. Thankfully, there are a number of mental health techniques you can use and lifestyle changes you can make to control and overcome these negative feelings.
To help you determine if you, your family member, or perhaps your boss is narcissistic, we reviewed the psychology literature for patterns of narcissistic behavior. We also spoke with Joseph Burgo, psychologist and author of "The Narcissist You Know" .
Here are 19 common signs of narcissism and how to identify them.

If you notice that you are very stressed, but you have no real reasons in your close environment to be; you often find it hard to sleep; your mood is so fickle that you can go from apathy, to joy and sadness in the same morning; you notice that your patience is running out in record time or, directly, you feel depressed and you don't know why ... check your news, video and tweet history and analyze what kind of stories you consume most often because you could be one of the victims of doomscrolling .

**Tips**
* Don't desert the person you're dependent on! Stay in touch, but meet/mingle with new people.
* Keep a balance between the things you do for yourself and the things you have others doing for you. While it's good to be considerate, don't let others trample all over you and similarly don't use anyone.
* Give this procedure some time, especially if you're very close to them.
* Have a wide circle of close friends and family members you can trust.

**Tips**
Make sure you do not have negative or apathetic body language.
Don't ramble. This will lead to your message not being understood or taken seriously.
Do not whine or plead. Neither is likely to instill respect or interest. If you are very upset, excuse yourself and come back to the discussion later when you have had a chance to think it through.
Be careful with humor. While a little humor injected into what you are discussing can be effective, but take care to not take it too far. Do not rely on humor as a crutch to cover up hard-to-say things. If you keep joking, your communication is less likely to be taken seriously.
Make sure you make eye contact while communicating.
Look on the Internet for examples of great speakers in action. Survey some of the most viewed Ted Talks. There are plenty of role models instantly accessible through videos online. Treat them as your "personal communications coaches!"
If you are giving a presentation to a group or audience, be prepared for difficult questions so that you're not thrown off course and left feeling flustered. To remain in a position of communicating effectively, Michael Brown recommends a golden rule for handling difficult questions in the context of a group or audience. He suggests that you listen on behalf of everyone present, including asking questions and repeating the issue. Share the reply with everyone, which means moving your eyes off the questioner and onto all present in order to have the whole group "wear the answer." Capitalize on this shared answer to move on and change direction.

Respect your differences. Introversion and extroversion are just different ways of being. One isn’t superior to the other. Don’t put yourself down for responding to situations in a different way than your friends or loved ones do. Similarly, don’t judge others for how they respond to situations.
It’s unfortunately common for extroverts to stereotype introverts as “people haters” or “boring.” It’s equally common for introverts to generalize all extroverts as “shallow” or “chaotic.” Don’t feel as though you have to put down the “other side” to appreciate who you are. Each type of person has strengths and challenges.

**Total accuracy about our lives is at best tedious and at worst debilitating**.
To begin with, we might question the assumption that accuracy is the gold standard. Suppose that there was a way of compiling an exhaustive list of facts about a person’s life, documenting their every experience, no matter how insignificant. Whilst this would certainly generate a body of data relating to that person, it’s not clear that we would learn very much about them from such a list - the sheer amount of data would be overwhelming and much of it would be uninformative, if not tedious.
Suppose now that instead of a list, a narrative could be constructed using the individual’s experiences. The experiences would be interpreted, with the narrative emphasising certain patterns and anomalies, arranging information around significant turning points, and drawing attention to causal links. In place of a list, a story about that person’s life would unfold with various arcs, tensions, and resolutions. This story would be edited so that trivial details were removed, while a degree of artistic licence would permit the odd embellishment.
