Coping with people

grace13

Hello everyone,

i seem to have a lot of trouble coping in the workplace-specifically working with people. I am very hard working when I know what I need to do, and am just left to get on with it myself.

 The problems happen when I am forced to work closely with people who have strong personalities, are opinionated, want to steal my work, or try to bully me. 

I always try to be friendly with work colleagues and not competitive, but in many cases it is a competitive environment which leads to others getting jealous if they perceive someone doing better at something, or getting praise from the boss. Then they can turn nasty.

i tend to just leave jobs like that as I hate conflict. But I am wondering how others on the forum cope?

i would be interested to hear.

  • Thanks for your comments. They are really helpful.

    i am glad that I am not alone in finding that it can be very difficult to survive in workplaces. I find it hard enough dealing with people in a peripheral sense but having to work closely with a group of people that I may not particularly like is a real challenge.

    i hate conflict also and have never been any good at dealing with it. Whenever I try to stand up for myself it seems to make things worse.

    Thank you for the book recommendation. I will try giving it a read.
