Grey Rock: What It Is, How to Use It with a Narcissist and Grey Rock Examples and Psychology - This is how you use the grey rock technique with a narcissist. You'll also see grey rock examples and tips for how to grey rock no contact and low contact situations. Communicating with a narcissist can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it matters that they comprehend what you're saying. I can't tell you how many times I've felt exasperated when trying to have simple conversations with narcs who have become agitated and who are actively gaslighting.
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, they'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.
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.

How to Survive Narcissistic Manipulation in a Toxic Divorce & Thrive in Spite of It
Narcissists are notoriously negative and decidedly difficult people. And whether you're working with one or you are in a toxic relationship with a narcissist, you're bound to be dealing with all sorts of negativity, manipulation (including gaslighting) and even emotional abuse.
Today, I'm answering a question from a SPAN member, who says:
"I'm dealing with the divorce process with my N. Problem is: my husband has had no contact with our son ( his choice) now he's pulled him in to use him...Per court order we are not to sell or give anything away....our son showed up with truck and trailer and stated that his Father said he could have tools, equipment, bedroom set, China and more....I didn't want to look like that bad person so I let our son take a few things...I know he will be discarded after being used... I have decided not to play so I'm going to deal with this issue this way....I'm NOT contacting Attorney ( because I know this is what my N wants me to do... I will explain to our son that per court order that we are not to give or sell anything to anyone, that after alls said and done..these things will still be here and after it's settled...his father can give him what ever he wants!"

Even the so-called normal relationships in our lives can suffer from misunderstandings and miscommunications, but when someone starts using the manipulation tactics involved in gaslighting, chances are they might also be a narcissist-and if you're going to maintain a sense of self, you've got to start making some changes in your life.
Everyone knows someone who lives with the "victim mentality." They're the people who are always complaining that "bad things are happening in their lives."
Rather than take responsibility for their circumstances, they're always looking for someone or something to blame for their problems.
They focus on anything negative they can see in their lives, and while they may occasionally acknowledge something good that happens, they always turn back to the negatives. They subscribe to Murphy's Law--that if something can go wrong, it probably will.
They say things like, "it's always something," or "I just can't get ahead," or "life just sucks."
This includes a certain percentage of narcissists - but they do it for a very different reason: because they use their self-pity to manipulate their victims into doing what the narcissist wants them to do. In this video, I'll go into detail on that and explain why.
In the Go Ask Angie series, I respond "off the cuff" to questions, comments and concerns sent to me by my YouTube viewers, readers from my QueenBeeing.com site and those who reach out in other ways, such as by email.
