Defuse the Situation
Like gray rock but gray rock, uninteresting, fully uninterested, and fully unaffected and unfazed. What you’re shooting for here is to defuse what would otherwise be a high-voltage, intense conversation or situation, right? So, that’s the goal, you want to keep that in mind, right? You’re not looking to antagonize and provoke and make things worse. You’re looking to turn the volume down on all the crazy and the insanity to the best of your ability, right? Like you can’t be responsible for how they show up, how they react, how they behave, but just know that that is your goal. You’re looking to diffuse the situation, not make it worse.
And with that said, in so much as you’re able, you’re going to want to avoid inflicting narcissistic injury and thus, inciting narcissistic rage, right? Like that’s never going to work out well for you. So, in so much as you’re able, now we can’t tell, sometimes, all we have to do is walk into the room and we inflict narcissistic injury without even opening our mouths, right? So like, we don’t always have control over that, but in so much that you do have control, right, like if you can avoid trying to have the last word or get that dig in, right, or win the right fight, right? Like, you know, bringing your ego to the table yourself, if you can avoid doing that and if you have the opportunity to avoid inflicting unnecessary narcissistic injury, you definitely want to do that.
