You might know about the term
called ‘Frenemy’. In our world, everyone is a frenemy to one another. In
all offices, you will find people posing as a friend and then backstabbing when
you are not alert. There is no concept of friendship and only permanent interests
persist. People stay with you for their certain interests. So, you have to
identify yourself with what kind of nectar is oozing out from you for which
everyone is thronging around you. It might sound vicious but it is realism.
People will stay till that nectar exists. In other words, you can
control the flow of nectar to be in the flavour of these people. See the world from this perspective. You will see patterns. Should you feel bad about it? No. You are also part of it. You just do less or not efficient like them to be called a successful one.
Coming back to frenemies, you have to be careful that you do not confide in anything controversial that might cause demise in the future. People try to read your mind during long talks. Therefore, one should avoid talking about controversial topics related to the particular workspace at all costs. The same people who seemed to be great with you will go directly and fill everyone with your thoughts. Sooner or later, people turn against you. People do it for many reasons. Sometimes, it is the habit of the person and it has been ingrained in his character through his upbringing in such societies. They cannot be changed. Many people do it to take advantage of others because they have to go up and, in the process, they just need a stepping stone. In that case, your head is the stepping stone for their progress.
You might be wondering what I should talk about then. You are to pick up some topics for your benefits not related to your workplace and always divert your talk to that. You can talk about international affairs in relation to your countries. These should be interesting topics among adults. In other words, you can drive them away while having these discussions in a polite indirect manner. One does not need to have a conflict all the time. Divulging less is in your control. So, the approach should be that.
