Thisisa:Take this seriously, don't joke with it. This is a storm to build your weakness into strength, God will see you through all you need is stillness in the storm. It might cost you a lot , never take it to heart cos there is something God want to learn before going to next level. Believe, be strong and fearless. Nothing new under the sun. After the storm and learnt lessons you will achieve your next level with your weakness been the foundation of the clarity of your strength. Let fear be your friend but be still in the storm |

Be vigilant. Be friendly. Trust no one. See your colleagues as colleagues and not close friends. Be independent as much as you can. Be discreet on your personal life as much as you can. Have a good office/work relationship with your colleagues. |

This is how you gain back power and respect,mind you it won't be easy,they will try to frustrate you but remain firm.stop being friendly with anyone in your workplace. Your colleagues are not your friends,do your job,get paid and go home. Stop seeking validation from them,do your work diligently and leave. Do not overshare,you expose yourself when you talk too much at workplace. Trust no one but yourself. Show no fear while working,the worst thing that can happen is you lose your job. We don't pray for such but if it happens life must go on. |

Give details of what happened. That will guide people on how to give you precise advice. Another alternative is prayer . God will give you the wisdom to navigate the waters of people using your weaknesses against you. Pray for strength and grace through this time There is nothing that has a beginning that does not have an end. Their taunting will come to an end one day. Mind you, there is nobody who doesn't have a weakness. Bear that in mind. Don't let your weakness be your prison because everybody has one but yet living life despite of their weaknesses. I hope this helps. |

Mr man 👨, you are not serious. See how people are asking you to explain what you did yet you didn't give detail, now I can discern why your colleagues would go against you. When you ready |

Ok so here’s what happened I talked too much. I work in a government agency… A lot of people here usually are comfortable with some extreme moves. The people I trusted with some things have eventually used them against me. |
| Re: How Do I Handle A Toxic Workplace I Caused Myself by Emma1Oj(m): 8:09pm On Dec 19, 2025 |
Your work place is not a friend zone or a place you share your personal or family related matas.. You get to work, mind your business, do your job.. Say hi to those you admire from distance.. Closing time reach, you pack your bag and go your house.. Simple!! Some will call it pride,, but you don't hole them explanation as far you are doing your job. Without your them knowing your personal life you are not save talkess of wen dey know. Is it all that smiles wit you love you.. |
