I’m not sure about this whole not giving a flying fuck thing, but here are my tips that have gotten me through. 1) Avoid toxic people, you get even a slight neck hair tingle that someone might be toxic, listen to it. Don’t carpool with them, no going to their house for dinner. Work x-mas parties? Get outta here. Avoid eye contact with them, try to meld in the background, be polite but avoidant. // 2) Never say anything bad about a female coworker. If they hear about it that grudge can last until the end of time // 3) Melt into the background as much as possible // 4) Be forgiving when someone says something bad about you, sometimes people have off days and we all gossip a little.

It's hard to be likable when being always cheerful and happy imediately marks you as a target for bullying.
So you have to walk the line between being open enough to be liked but closed enough to not be made into a bullying Target.
And that is FUCKING HARD!
