Sometimes if you try this you enrage the person on the other end so much that they LITERALLY stop what they're doing to SCREAM at the top of their lungs. After their voice is hoarse they go right back to the vicious attacks. I'm not sure this advice works when used on people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder.
I was being berated unfairly, verbally abused, accused of things that didn't happen, and gaslit. Instead of defending myself I actually tried the approach laid out in this article: "SHUT UP when you aren’t sure what to say". I wasn't about to defend myself when everything I do is suddenly on trial for some reason.

- sodality2 5y agohttps://www.e-counseling.com/mental-health/what-is-the-grey-rock-method/ https://www.e-counseling.com/mental-health/what-is-the-grey-... >The grey rock method is a practice where an individual becomes emotionally non-responsive, boring, and virtually acts like a rock. Emotional detachment serves to undermine a narcissist’s attempts to lure and manipulate, causing them to grow uninterested and bored. The grey rock method takes away what the narcissist needs and desires most–attention.
