Gray Rock Insurance: How to Avoid Reacting When a Narcissist Pushes Your Buttons -- Discover. Understand. Overcome. It's how smart people change their lives! Subscribe to my channel: vid.io/xoJJ

Narcissists have a way of pushing your buttons and making you feel crazy - and sometimes, the calmer you are, the worse they get.

When you go gray rock and refuse to give them any emotion, they sometimes push harder in an attempt to get you to react. In today's vlog, I'm talking about how you can avoid overreacting and start making intentional choices on how to react to the narcissist's abuse and criticism - warranted or otherwise.

No matter what you do in life, you will be criticized on it. Whether you're a writer, an artist, a designer, a chef, an executive, it doesn't matter. No matter what career you choose, there will always be criticism.

Now if you are not the best at receiving criticism or if you are the type of person who is easily offended by criticism, this could really hurt your career and ultimately your ability to develop as a person. Often times, when we are upset by something, we, as humans, have a tendency to react, sometimes overreact.

Ultimately though, with criticism, it is much better if we can reach a point in our lives that we have the ability to breathe, think on it and then respond, not react. There are three very simple steps that you can practice in your life and then put into action when it comes to criticism. In this video, we'll cover those three steps.
