I am sorry but I have to admit this as I cannot lie anymore. I am Infected with this from a long time and don't think it has any cure so I have stopped trying. I am talking about being friendly with my coworkers and feel they are my friends even if they back stab all the time. Are you friendly with your coworkers?

When I was working I had good relationships with my co-workers, there was an exception but I knew how to navigate my way around her, so it was fine. But it could be stressful, so I am thankful now that I am stress-free from that stimulus.

In a work situation, we have no choice but to have to deal with the same people no matter what (in most cases). I've always tried to keep things friendly . . . even with the enemies .

This is terrible, you are infected with an incurable disease. I worked with a bunch of back stabbers, which is very common in the places we work. After I left my job, the head administrator told others, she was my best nursing aide! When I worked for her, words were caustic and wicked about me! People are impossible to figure out, so don't even try:( I got physically sick beneath this stress!

I had a feeling you were joking with us. When I was working, I was very friendly with my coworkers, even the backstabbers. I just made sure never to give the backstabber any information that would aid them in their duplicity. Life is just easier when your work life is pleasant. One coworker of mine sort of didn’t like me, but I think my friendliness frustrated her because she never could get under my skin.

I always tried to be. I had one supervisor I could NOT get along with, so I only spoke when spoken to. I’m retired now, so I’m my only coworker.

Just be kind or nice to everyone, even if they are talking about you. When they are tired, they will stop. Sorry to hear about your incurable illness. I wish you well.

Unfortunately, we take the bad with the good. Try to ignore the backstabbers, they aren't worth your time. All you can do is your best.
