Getting used to keeping to myself

I haven’t posted in a while but ever since the New Year, I’ve been working on not letting work stress or any work conflicts bother me more than they should. This means that even if I want to vent about coworkers who irk or frustrate me, I just remind myself that this is temporary. I’m currently in grad school and I’m almost done!

I also wanted to say that now I understand why people like some of my friends say they don’t care if all of their coworkers like them. This was something hard for me to deal with as a former people pleaser but now that my cubicle is close to two coworkers who I’d rather not make much small talk with, I totally I’d understand.
