Awkward with colleagues

If you feel uncomfortable with your colleagues, it is important to manage discreetly so as not to affect relationships and collaboration. This is a helpful approach.

1. Observe and assess the causes

Let's think about what awkwardness is caused by, for example, a mismatch of attitude, a miscommunication, some of his behavior, or our own thinking.

Distinguish whether it's work or personal to find the right solution.

2. Maintain the range with manners.

If you need to be spaced, do it softly, like talk about work.

Avoid gossiping or complaining to others because it will make the atmosphere worse.

3. Communicate honestly (but politely)

If the problem affects the work, try to find a private talk using "uncondemning" language, such as "I feel..." instead of "you make..."

Focus on problem-solving, not blame.

4. Empowering yourself

Focus on our work and goals.

Spend time with other colleagues or the environment that makes it comfortable.

5. Ask for help if necessary

If the problem is so heavy that it hits the job, talk to the boss or the personnel to find a safe and creative solution.

A little trick: Sometimes looking at the other person in the "normal human with pros and cons" angle reduces the feeling of awkwardness, like we went from looking at him as a villain to a boatmate rowing together.
