A toxic co-worker can drain your mental strength if you let them. Fortunately, these strategies can help you stay mentally strong when you're dealing with difficult people.
No matter where you work, you’re bound to come across a difficult coworker. And if you’re not careful, one individual could ruin your entire work experience—and perhaps even damage your career.
Whether you send emails to your other coworkers to complain about the toxic individual, or you vent to your partner when you get home, complaining keeps you stuck in a negative state. You’re in control of how you think, feel, and behave. Decide that someone else’s bad behavior, poor attitude, or toxic choices won’t drag you down.It’s easy to invest energy into wishing your coworker would become a team player or hoping that your colleague will change departments. But, wishful thinking wastes your valuable resources—time and mental energy.So put that same energy into taking positive action.
You may also need to set limits by saying something like, “This sounds like gossip and I don't want to hear it." People who aren't used to having boundaries set with them—and many toxic people aren’t—often get upset when someone draws a line in the sand.
