Drama, rumors, fights... How can I handle all the stress better?

Question

Ok, so lately, I'm finding myself extremely stressed out.\

With my job, and life, it seems like every time one problem ends, another begins.

Whether it be problems with doing my stressful, unchallenging job,
problems with not getting the positions that I deserve and want,
fights with co-workers,
almost being fired,
the fear of being fired,
the fact that guys are never interested in me,
that I'm now in love with someone that's NEVER going to love me,
vicious rumors being spread about me,
or being yelled at...
and crying at work...

It never ends.

I HATE having drama and turmoil be the main focus of my thoughts.
I'm a nice person... I get taken advantage of, and it's easy for people to pick on me, because I'm not good at defending myself... That causes more problems.

I don't consider myself attractive, but I'm not hideous! Guys never ask me out, or show interest! And when I think they do, they always stop, and make me feel like a loser!
I'm a size 2, sometimes 4, long hair, 5'5... A big disadvantage of mine, would be my small breasts...
but I'm treat people with respect, and am always cracking jokes...

I'm smart (not bragging), and have no girlfriends. We always end up fighting, because I'm liked by most of my bosses, and get more responsibility.

How do I stop letting the drama, fights, rejection, and turmoil effect my life?
I don't want to be stressed anymore!

Answer 1

Your focus at your work, should be your work. That is, no matter how unchallenging your job may be you first have a duty "to do your job", because this is what you're being paid for.

Give your job 110% and become efficient and the best at it. This way 'no one can fault you' no matter how your looks appeal to others. This will get the attention of your peers and also your boss. This will make you an authority at your job because you will be the best. And this will definately help you climb the ladder in your organization.

Should you achieve a higher position then all these people and their petty gossip will become irrelevant.
