7 Subtle Signs Your Co-Worker Secretly Sees You as a Threat—And What It Means for You
When people feel threatened, they often subconsciously put up barriers.
They might avoid being alone with you, or they could limit their communication to the bare minimum. It’s an instinctive response to protect oneself from potential harm.
As psychologist Carl Jung once said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
This behavior might be more about them and their insecurities than it is about you.
Recognizing this pattern can give you insights into your coworker’s mindset and help you respond in a way that promotes understanding and cohesiveness, rather than further division.
