Here’s some light reading for you on grey rocking!

To “grey rock” a person involves making all interactions with them as uninteresting and unrewarding as possible. In general, this means giving short, straightforward answers to questions and hiding emotional reactions to the things a person says or does.

The idea behind grey rocking is that it will, in theory, cut off a person’s “narcissistic supply” and cause them to lose interest in their target.

And

The slightest form of disagreement or even stating an opinion on your part can set your parent off. It may even lead to an outburst.

So try your best not to outwardly disagree with anything they say. Go along with what they say or simply nod.

Remind yourself that they thrive off of drama. So every point you attempt to make to them that counters their beliefs is giving them ammo.

You may be tempted to defend yourself or argue with whatever ridiculous or abusive statement they’re making, but don’t give in. Remind yourself that they want you to cave. Don’t give them the satisfaction.
