I Feel Like my Colleagues are Excluding me and Talking Behind my Back. It’s Making me Dread Going to Work Every Day. What Should i do?

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Workplace exclusion can be incredibly painful and isolating. Please know that you’re not alone in this experience, and your feelings are completely valid. It takes courage to acknowledge this situation. Remember, their behavior says more about them than it does about you. You are worthy of respect and kindness. Let’s focus on what you can control: 1) Practice self-care and maintain your confidence – you have unique skills and value to offer. 2) Seek out supportive colleagues or join workplace affinity groups to build positive connections. 3) Consider having an open, professional conversation with your manager or HR if the situation persists. This difficult time will pass, and you’ll emerge stronger. You’ve got this!
