7. Keep personal problems to yourself

Everyone has personal problems, and many people like to talk about them. Even though your problems may seem severe, don’t bring them to work. The focus on “me” is irritating to others.

How to handle personal communication professionally:

  • Leave personal problems at home.
  • Keep a positive look on your face.
  • When someone asks how you are, say "Good," “Okay,” “Hanging in,” or a similar word.
  • Don’t seek sympathy or pity.
  • Locate a counselor when you need to talk to someone.
