How To Tolerate Coworkers You Can’t Stand

The world is a global village full of people with different personalities. And so is the workplace. You might find people that you really do get along with and people that just float on nerves. But that should not disturb your work or your focus.

It might not be the whole team that you do not get along with but just one individual. But that is okay. After all, you did not come to make friends at work but that also does not mean that you can’t have a working relationship. After all, you spend more than half of your day at the office, right?

Put your emotions in line

One mistake that people often make is that they want to put the other person in line. If you feel that the next person is annoying you, think before you react. More often people just react and emotions take over and that is bound to make the situation worse. And the only person who can control that and put your emotions in order is you. Think then you act.

Emotions And Coworkers

Avoid the situation

When we talk about to avoid the situation we mean that avoid your coworker. Clearly, your paths will never meet. And what better way to excuse yourself from the situation but to just make sure you are never in each other’s space. That way no emotions will be aroused and no one will step on the other person’s toes.

Some really annoying people become even more annoying when you constantly interact with them. Keep the conversations about work and short and precise and that way peace will be maintained.

Keep your thoughts to yourself

We all know about office gossip. There is what is known as harmless gossip and that other gossip that will definitely ignite the fire. Either way when you tend to have emotions you feel the need to vent out. But keep that gossip for your siblings and leave the coworkers out of it.
