Gray Rock C
ompilation: How to Deal With Narcissist Gaslighting and Manipulation
This is a compilation videos that includes three previously recorded videos by certified life coach Angela Atkinson at QueenBeeing. Each video is focused on the gray rock method - including a history of the method, who is thought to have given it the name "gray rock" and why, and how you can use it to deal with narcissists in your own life.
What are the most important components of successfully using the Gray Rock Method?
Rule number one when it comes to practicing the Gray Rock Method is to never tell the narcissist you're doing so. If you do, he'll definitely figure out a way to use it against you.
Never ask questions of the narcissist and don't offer any "committal" responses - just say things like "hmm" or "mhmm" - keep it casual.
If possible, discuss only "safe" topics, such as the news, social media - fashion, cooking, etc. Nothing that would be personal - even if the narc begs you for it. Drama free is the way to be!
Try to be distracted during the conversation so that you don't have to directly look the narcissist in the eye the whole time. Make it something simple like doodling in a notebook or checking your text messages, or something more complicated such as knitting a scarf or working on a document for work. If you focus a bit more on your activity, you won't be as directly affected by the narcissist's attempts to manipulate you during the conversation.
Most importantly during this practice, keep your head in the game and don't allow the narcissist to get inside your head. Narcs are expert "guilt-trippers" and have no qualms about making you "feel bad" so that you'll try to justify or defend your intentions - don't fall into the trap.
