[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't use grey rock with someone you expect to have an ongoing relationship with. It's like killing a plant and then expecting it to come back to life later. It won't. Don't do grey rock on a family member.[/quote]

Not exactly. It is correct that you will not have a close relationship ever because the person you are grey rocking demands a more intrusive and controlling level of access to you. The grey rock target will become frustrated and enraged because they aren’t getting what they want.

Grey does work when what you are seeking is co existence. You don’t want to avoid extended family events because they are there. You don’t want the drama of a big break up. You want to be polite and civil. The technique basically encourages the target to seek out someone else to torture. This works as long as there are other people pleasures around that they haven’t burned bridges with yet. [/quote]

Being bored and looking vaguely at the horizon line when someone is speaking is cruel and weird behavior. It is not acceptable in an ongoing relationship. It would make anyone angry. If your purpose is to show the other person they don't matter, might as well stick your fingers in your ears and stick your tongue out. Other methods of dealing with people make more sense. Grey rock is for people who are freaks themselves -- there's a reason you're family after all.[/quote]
