How the Grey Rock Method Can Protect You From Abusive People and Toxic Interactions

One excerpt: 
Grey rocking can work in some situations,” Dr. Markley says, “And it can be particularly effective in situations with individuals who have a certain pattern of behavior — like people who thrive on chaotic and explosive interpersonal interactions.”

People with personality disorders or narcissistic tendencies often need to get an emotional rise out of you. That’s why they communicate the way they do. They may not even realize it themselves, but they’re agents of conversational chaos. And they’re trying to manipulate you, like putty in their hands.

But if you’re doing your best impression of a rock, you aren’t giving them what they’re looking for.

[b]It's not surprising that a lot of relatives who need the gray rock method are also politically or religiously extreme compared to most[/b]. [/quote]

I had not thought about this, but you are correct. The same relatives who are rigid, emotionally volatile and at times abusive are extreme with politics-far right and far left to the point you cannot have a discussion and they are more alike than different in their need to be right, defensive and loud.[/quote]
