The 4 point bulleted list is basically gossip. And gossip is bad. So why did you make a list?

anyways…

I learned, that honesty is the first step towards relationship destruction. Not wife-husband, but rather jobplace. When you say something in an honest way, it will 99% of the time be interpreted as “wow, you are a jerk!”

So my rule in building a relationship is: “SHUDDUP!”

Absolutely Chris. Taking a moment to write a thank you for someone you normally gripe about can change your perspective drastically. (Even if not delivered)

Thanks for the extra tip and comment, I appreciate it!

Good post. It is easy to find oneself caught in the traps you describe here. When I find myself being dragged in that direction, I do a little exercise of drawing up the positive aspects of that individual. Then, we must take the courageous step of sharing it with them. It can be powerful when we do.
