Red flags a coworker may not like you

• Minimal eye contact

• Cold, one-word replies

• You’re left out of conversations, lunches, or meetings

• They skip giving you credit or take it for themselves

• You hear they’ve been talking about you

• They avoid working with you unless absolutely necessary

• Body language is closed off or annoyed

• Sarcasm and passive-aggressive behavior

What it really means

• It’s not about you

• Your presence might threaten their comfort

• You’re likely doing something right if they feel triggered

How to handle it

• Stay professional but don’t fake friendliness

• Set boundaries and stop trying to win them over

• Document anything that crosses a line

• Put your energy into people who respect you

• Keep doing excellent work and protect your peace

Mindset shift

• I don’t need to be liked

• I need to be respected

• I don’t lower myself to match their energy

• I rise above and stay focused

Mic drop

They don’t have to like you.

They don’t get to dim you.
