One key red flag indicator of identifying a narcissist or someone who has narcissistic tendencies is they are not able to regulate their emotions, this is mainly because they don't or refuse to self reflect. As mentioned above by Hammasa, one needs to think about their past emotional experiences, dissecting one's triggers, so as to learn how to handle or avoid unexpected heated outburst. Of course a narcissist again doesn't care or show enough empathy towards others to make the effort to learn about these types of triggers through self reflection.

In the moment, I turn to 3 slow and deep breaths before choosing to reply or not. Everything seems to return to the breath.
