Grayrocking is ineffective, you quietly seethe while the offending party keeps getting away with their bullshit. Any better approaches?

Playing possum aka play stupid. Pretend to be dumb as dirt, pretend that you don't actually understand things clearly, pretend to always look the other way, even validate and encourage a person:s narcissism, inflate their ego, be their beast of burden and act dumb as shit. Then when they are at a crucial moment of glory and they are on the cusp of attaining unearned success, that's when you strike and strike hard and expose every single thing, contradict them, bring up every single inconsistency, pose every single uncomfortable question and do it right in the view of the public and watch them collapse so hard their mind almost implodes into a black hole.

In good faith (as in, you convey a sense of authenticity and curiosity) lead the external party down a bread crumb trail of hypothetical dialog that is essentially a
You holding up a mirrior in front of them BUT it MUST be interpreted by said external party without them realizing you were talking about them in the moment until the end of the exchange/it clicks with them but not too much dirt or directness or savegry that it provokes a confrontation. The goal is making them believe they came to their own conclusion.

This is an art not a science, it's a game of symbols not substance so focus on the generalized lesson you're trying to get through their head and less on the details. Conjure a believable scapegoat and use this as a way to redirect aggression away from you. You can't change people's behavior, but you can influence factors external to lead them in another direction.

Watch videos about crows causing 2 larger predators to get the contested food scraps. Sometimes life gives us bad cards to play with and we just gotta do what we can do

Why should OP fight back with one hand tied behind his back?

>>34061110
Why would exhibiting the exact behavior that requires Grey rocking prove that you arent the one that needs Grey rocked. Op should cut them off and move on.

Its not your job to make sure people don't "get away" with things. Its your job to set your boundaries and protect your peace. You can't control the world around you or anybody in it. You can only control yourself and the way you process and react to it. I don't know what greyrocking is or whatever but letting other people control your emotions is peak weakness. Work on stopping that from happening.

Nah. Make what the narc is doing known so that they choke on their own poison.

The sooner the narc is removed from the picture the better.

This is part of how my love and I come home to each other

>greay rocking
oh neat add that to the list of zoomer slang I will never look up the meaning of

>bro you're grey rocking me bro, bro stop needle threading me, are you seriously white water rafting me, I am literally shaking from someone dry cleaning me me right now, I'm gonna start unicycling my co-workers at work

I actually have good advice:
Triangulate. Talk shit about them behind their back. Grey rocking works sometimes, especially when you realize everyone hates them and it's not just you. Many people in this type of situation make the mistaken assumption their the only one who can't get along with the person, when in reality they are probably an annoying lonely loser nobody likes.
Plus if you are lucky you can recruit other people to call them out on their bullshit. It doesn't have to be an all-out attack, just gently bring up how annoying they are and other people will be like 'I kno rite?? What's his problem?"
tl;dr: Use peer pressure in your own favor.

>any better approaches?
Destroy the core of their ego with the truth bomb, like a stake through the heart of a vampire. Then cut off your supply to them (I.e: attention, contact) and live your best life.

Get a life and work on self improvement so you can make fun of them still sitting on their ass doing nothing
