Tip two mentions that you keep yourself happy and this tip adds on to this. You should try to act exactly how you normally would and do not pay their moodiness any attention.

Be polite when doing this, tell the person that is constantly having mood swings how they are behaving.

They may even open up to you and let you know what it is that is causing them to act that way.
