Original Advice

DONT: Reward drama; disengage and revisit when calm.

Starve the Circus, Feed Your Calm

Here’s the cut: narcissists bait, you blaze, and the whole room burns to keep them warm. Your outrage is oxygen. Your clever clapback is applause. Every instant response rewards the performance. Refuse to be their generator. Put the phone down. Leave the doorway. Let the silence sting. When chaos knocks, make it wait in the hallway.

Drama feeds on heat and immediacy; time starves it. Delay is not defeat, it’s dominance. Your pause reclaims tempo, resets the stage, exposes the script. When adrenaline spikes, convert it into action that serves you: wash a dish, take a shower, lift something heavy. Return only when your voice is steady and your goal is simple: what changes, what stops, what you will do.
