The grey rock method, colloquially called gray rocking, is a communication pattern to deliberately act unresponsive and uninterested to encourage disengagement with difficult people.[1][2] By adopting the dull qualities of a gray rock, the technique of gray rocking negates the emotional reaction people try to elicit.[3]
The term was coined in 2012 by an American mental-health blogger named Skylar.[4]
No clinical studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of the Grey rock method, but anecdotal evidence has shown it to be effective on individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and in situations of emotional abuse [5]
