In this article, I will teach you the easiest, fastest, most effective way to cut off that supply source, and how to do that is simply by using the gray rock method. Now, gray rock is ideal, especially when you’re in a situation where, for whatever reason, you’re unable to go no contact, or at least can’t do so right away.
The truth is when we’re talking about dealing with people who land on the spectrum of destructive narcissism, no contact is always going to be your best bet. But what’s also true is that it’s not always possible, and it’s certainly not always possible immediately. So what do we do in the meantime? Well, gray rock is a very effective method that you can use to take excellent care of yourself. It boils down to this: simply cutting off the source of narcissistic supply to the empathy-impaired emotional manipulator who has been targeting you.
It begins with a decision, making the firm decision that you are no longer going to be the source of supply to this energy vampire. I’m not saying this is going to be easy, certainly not the first time you try, but you can do it. It very well may take some practice, but it begins with a decision—a decision that says, “I am no longer going to be a source of supply to this toxic energy vampire. It’s time now to start taking better care of me.” Decide and then back yourself by following through, even if you do it imperfectly at first.
The goal is this: to literally become like a gray rock, hence the term the gray rock method. You want to look, act, and feel just like a gray rock when you’re in the vicinity of the narcissist who’s targeting you, meaning completely uninteresting, utterly boring, and flatline, cutting off the source of supply to the narcissist. This means no emotional reactions, no defending yourself, no explaining yourself, no justifying, no rationalizing, no dancing like a puppet on strings, no getting in the ring with them, and no trying to win the right fight.
