Whenever you are forced to interact with a Narcopath, respond as non-noncommittally and non-confrontationally as you can. When they cannot get narcissistc supply they will often give up and seek it elsewhere. The Grey Rock Technique does not alway work, because the Narcopath will up their antics in order to evoke a negative emotional response from you.

Grey rock method is Used when going no contact is not an option. In all your dealings with a narcissist you are to remain indifferent and unemotional in your responses. You give brief yes or no answers and dont get drawn in to their drama or arguments. You become as insignificant as a grey rock and thus become boring to them so they have to get their need for drama and attention elsewhere. Its hard to do at first but gets easier with time. When you begin doing this be prepared for them to up their antics to provoke a reaction from you, they may resort to making completely false and unrelated and outrageous accusations in an attempt to get you to defend yourself and react negatively. They may feign illness or create a fictional emergency to get your attention. They will be desperate to get a reaction and response from you. Dont give them it and they will seek it elsewhere.
