What to do if your colleagues don't like you: don't try to adapt to them, but treat them with respect

The atmosphere in a team is very important, but sometimes it is not possible to establish communication quickly enough.
It happens that for some reason employees quarrel, and if there were already relationships in this team, then the employees may be set against one person.
Psychologists believe that no one has cancelled the basic principles of respectful treatment of other employees.
But if you start to adapt to everyone, then this is considered a sign of weakness.
What do psychologists advise?
Here are some recommendations.
- Consider whether there is a reason for the hostility. Perhaps you said something unpleasant to your colleague or they misunderstood your remark.
- Determine the distance in the relationship. Perhaps you could have violated the boundaries.
- Look for like-minded people. Common interests unite people.
- Tell your colleagues why you appreciate them. Also, don't "be friends against" someone.
- Discussion with the management. This is the last resort when there is nothing else left.
