Is the girl at reception ignoring you? Does your desk-mate give you the stink eye? Maybe that’s just the way his face looks. It can be hard to tell on a Monday morning.

Regardless of wether you get along with your coworkers or not, you’re likely going to spend more time with them than anyone else in your life. Unfortunately, unlike your friends, you don’t always get to choose your coworkers. It can be hard to tell how well liked you are at the office, especially in a work environment where competition is high, or ego clashes are common. Even if you work in a low stress atmosphere, you still may be wondering why you weren’t invited out for after work drinks, or why no one wanted the cookies you baked for the break room.

Here are eight tips on how to tell if your coworkers just really don’t like you:

Office Gossip

Does everyone talk in hushed tones when you’re around? Maybe they stop talking to each other all together when you show up. Offices are often breeding grounds for trash talk and if you’re hearing a lot of shushing and low voices when you walk in a room, chances are the conversation may have been about you. After all, there must be a reason your coworkers didn’t want to let you in on what was being said.

Being Ignored

If your coworkers aren’t talking about you, then not talking at all may be worse. If people don’t want to engage with you, it’s usually because they don’t like you. Either that or you need to lay off the onion bagels and tuna sandwiches. But if you’re not getting replies to emails, or even a simple ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ and the beginning and end of your day, then things do not look good. Check to see if you receive eye contact when talking to someone. If they can’t meet your gaze, there is definitely something up.

Trust Issues

Are your best ideas always given to someone else? Or perhaps your opinions are constantly shut down. International business speaker and author Michael Kerr believes this is a telltale sign that someone doesn’t like you.

“If it feels like someone shoots down every thought before you’ve even finished a sentence, then it’s often because their dislike is so strong that they are biased against anything you suggest, even when it’s a great idea.”

Always in Trouble

Are you constantly being called into the boss’s office for something you didn’t do, or find yourself being blamed for others’ mistakes? This maybe a sign that coworkers are bad-mouthing you to your superiors. Beware, if your manager is in on it, you may have a major problem on your hands.

Bad Vibes

Body language can sometimes be a bigger indicator of how someone feels toward you than what they say. If you feel like coworkers are being distant, chances are you’re right. Be on the look out for eye rolls, the absence of a smile when being greeted, and people who leave or move away from you when you enter a room.

Bad Communication

It’s not a good sign if coworkers respond to you in a condescending tone, or use as few words as possible when answering questions. It’s worse if they choose to use email correspondence when you both work in the same office. Although email is common in the workplace these days, if someone is sitting within a stone’s throw of you and still chooses to send an email rather than talk to you, it’s not good news.

Power Struggles

Do some of your coworkers act like they are your boss? If colleges act like you must answer to them even though they have no authority over you, it could mean sabotage for your career. It’s a sure sign that they might be gunning for your position, or are looking to climb the company ladder and don’t mind walking all over you to get to the top!

Instinct

If you’re reading this article, chances are you already suspected someone at the office doesn’t like you. Trust your gut, if someone is acting weird only around you then there is probably something going on. Sadly we can’t all get along, but we can still make the most of a hostile workmate by trying to be tolerant of others. Just make sure that before you report or confront a coworker who you think is acting strangely around you, make sure you’ve had a cup of coffee. After all, everything seems worse before that first cup of joe, doesn’t it? Whether your coworkers love you or hate you – remember that work isn’t everything! These lawmakers in Ukraine took things a bit too far and one of them ended up knocking the other out COLD!
