The secret of having a peaceful mind is positive thinking. Don't let anyone distract you to get what you want. Learn to adjust and mingle with them instead of feeling the way you feel now change it mortify. Mortify is to change how you feel like thinking you're sad-- think happy thoughts. Something like that. It will all follow.. Hakuna matata it means no worries!!!

No problem.I've experienced the same kind of thing. It makes me think,why do i have to push the issue if your friend doesn't listen nor talk to you.It really bothered me to. Then I realized that we have a lot of things to do than think about it more. As long as you tried your best to fix it but if it can't be helped then we should move on. :)

i have worked for over ten years now... and i have noticed the hateful behavior in some of the employees i have worked it. it just seems to me that they are so hateful because they really don't like their job.

I don't what kind of difficulties could come from working with other people. Just keep in mind that everyone has their own way of doing things. As far as dealing with mean people, I had that problem too in the past. I don't think there's very much you can do, but maybe avoid those people. But if I were you I wouldn't complain to your boss about those people. Just keep your nose down and do your job to the best of your ability. You can count your lucky stars that you have a job too. Maybe if you don't like working with people, maybe find a job where you can be self employed too.

Hello Ksmita, welcome to Mylot. I know what you mean, I had problems with such people and to be honest, I think theres one of them just about everywhere. I quit a job because of this. Now I work from home and Im so happy to do so. No more having to put up with this crap. Im so much happier now. Sorry you have to deal with this. I wish I could offer advice but these people are miserable, unhappy, lack self confidence and no matter what you say or do, it wont change the fact that they live to aggravate others.

YOU SHOULD DECIDE IF YOU LIKE YOUR WORK A LOT OR NOT TOO MUCH. If you do not like it too much then you should start looking for a new job. However, if you like your job, then you should not let anyone bully you from it. Ignore he bullies, most importantly harden yourself against their taunts. Bullies usually get a thrill when they know that the person they are bullying is affected. Of course if it is an environment filled with negativity then it is always best to leave after securing anither job.

I tell you what. As long as you enjoy what you do for a living and you feel blessed and ethical for it, there will be none that should make you sad. Just try to go to work, interract with the people that you know they like you (and you like) and let the ones that act stupidly alone. Even if they speak to you harsh always remember that you are thousands of times more excelsior than them.

Welcome to reality. You have to step up. Be harsh yourself and do not take anyone,s stupidity at work serious. You are there to do your work, you are not there to be bullied or be treated like something from planet mars. People tend to be incredibly rude in any working environment. Just don,t give up, you can stand on your own two feet and give them a bit of their own medicine. Once they see that you are not to be toyed with, they will change their attitude,s very fast. Wish you could see how i do it. TATA.

Often people are harsh at work because they are having problems at home or in getting to work, meeting quotas and all that. It can make people sharp and grumpy even when they are otherwise pretty decent people. On the other hand, there are some people who are just mean and who enjoy making others unhappy. This is my personal approach to mean people. As best you can, don't take it personally, especially if he or she is mean to others. Be pleasant to those you can be pleasant with, and let the harassment from the others roll off while you look for other work. Some workplaces are better than others, and if your friends or family have found a good place to work, see if you can get a job working at the same place, so when/if you get a job there you can say good-bye to your current job without being out of work in between. Good luck to you, Ksmita.

yeah tats true..usually people take out their personal frustation at workplace..its a better option to change a job than trying to change people which is impossible to do.

hi ksmita... i think its very natural that people are hard and selfish nowadays.. they also keep irritating about things... i would probably suggest you to lead life your own way and don't pay heed for others... try to be tolerant as well.. i know its easy to say but still trying to tell you the fact.. just keep going your way... good luck...
