How do you handle colleagues that ignores your God given talents or skills?

Question

Just wondering if anyone can help me? I really try to ignore it but the silent crying and tears at night before bedtime are not relieving me of the stress and humilation of having to head back to the office the next day, it like everyone been invited to a party except you....

Answer 1

Stop acting like God's gift and they'll start paying more attention to you.

A wise old boss once told me, "When it's everybody else, it ain't everybody else."

Answer 2

First, they may not being ignoring you. Remember everyone there has their own hang-ups, fears, desires and need for recognition. I would suggest you think about which person in the office would probably be the easiest to befriend. Work on that person first. Ask that person about their skills, their day, etc. People like to feel useful and needed. Even if you know the answer, just ask that person's advice. You don't have to be a sycophant (kiss @ss), but just open. Once you get one person to accept you, the rest will come easier.
I feel you about being stressed about your job and dreading going back there. I've worked in offices that have literally made me sick from the stress. If you are truly that unhappy, maybe the place just isn't a good fit for you. Sometimes it is best to cut your losses and head out West. Perhaps another company or department would be a better fit for you. If there is one thing I know, staying unhappy is not the answer. Good luck with your job.

Answer 3

Sometimes that is a part of earning a living. You'll probably find out that kiss asses do pretty good.
If you get a boss that looks for ability, you're lucky.
Probably the best advice I can give you is to learn the game. A lot of work environments have a social heirarchy. Knowing it should give you an idea of what is required to be noticed or get an opportunity you want.

Answer 4

Move the silent crying from bedtime to office hours

Answer 5

Consider taking this training described in this newspaper article:

email me if interested. There is a WHOLE CULTURE behind that ignoring of your God given talents. There's a lot going on there.

Answer 6

I experience this before.
In my case, probably its my fault, having lack of social and communication skills, shy and less friends. So, my peer which I taught are my friends doesn't treat me like a friend and ignores me and my skills.

I think probably you should set your mind free. And never expect anything. Never expect people to look your talent.

Answer 7

office relationships are difficult to maintain.
get yourself involved in something that will bring in more meaningful rewards.

then you just have to turn up at work at do you part. and get out when it hits 5pm.
ignore the people who ignore you.

if you're looking for the "something"...look me up.

Answer 8

You need to throw your bible at them. Tell everyone you are a child of God and they should bow down before you every day.

Answer 9

Pull them aside and ask. No harm in asking.
