Recently, while chatting with a friend about workplace fatigue, I was struck by an interesting observation: we are often vigilant about PUA in romantic relationships, yet seldom realize that similar "psychological manipulation" exists in the workplace. Today, I want to discuss how to stay alert in the workplace and use high emotional intelligence to cope with fatigue.
Speaking of PUA, a netizen in the comments section made an interesting point: "Is this called PUA?? This is just ordinary male control." Indeed, sometimes we tend to label overly controlling behaviors as PUA. But whether in relationships or the workplace, the most important thing is to maintain self-awareness. As another netizen said, "People who grow up in happy family environments are less likely to be PUAed." This made me think that in the workplace, we also need to develop our "workplace immunity."
Regarding workplace fatigue, I recently noticed a particularly interesting phenomenon. When a colleague says, "Work is so tiring," many people's first reaction is to join in the complaint. However, using a bit of humor at this time can actually improve the mood. For example, you might say, "Looks like your job is tougher than mine, but don't worry, with me here, you can relax." This approach, which expresses concern while also teasing, often brings a smile.
A netizen in the comments said, "When you meet such a person, just break up, it's not psychological manipulation." This made me think that when you encounter particularly exhausting situations at work, it's also important to know when to cut your losses. Not all jobs are worth your full effort; sometimes, knowing when to let go is a form of wisdom.
When it comes to coping with fatigue, I believe the most important thing is to find a stress relief method that suits you. For example, as someone in the comments suggested, "After work, I'll pick you up and take you out for some good food to recharge." This kind of specific caring approach is not only applicable in relationships but can also be used to show concern for colleagues in the workplace.
Finally, I want to say that whether in relationships or the workplace, maintaining clarity and a sense of humor is crucial. As someone in the comments pointed out, "I just want to ask, when he asks you to delete opposite-sex contacts, why not ask him to do the same?" This kind of clear thinking is equally applicable in the workplace. When we feel fatigued, we might ask ourselves: Is this fatigue really worth it? Are there better ways to cope?
I hope today's sharing provides some inspiration. Remember, being a conscious professional means learning to protect yourself and also knowing how to use humor and wisdom to alleviate pressure. After all, life is already tiring enough; why not make it a bit easier for ourselves?
