AI Summary
Public Health Malaysia (PHM) recommends the "Grey Rock Technique" for dealing with toxic or manipulative individuals. This technique involves remaining neutral, calm, and unresponsive, like a grey rock. Respond briefly, avoid emotional reactions, and refrain from sharing personal information.

Setting boundaries and controlling the conversation's end are also advised.
