The Co-Worker We Can’t Stand

We’ve all had that person in our lives — the one whose very presence feels like sandpaper to the soul. Maybe it’s a co-worker who complains nonstop, a relative who always has to be right, or someone who carries an energy that just grates against yours.

You can feel their frequency from across the room. And the instinct is simple: avoid them, tune them out, or wish they’d transfer to another department.

But here’s a little truth I’ve learned after thousands of readings and even more human encounters —sometimes the people who irritate us the most are mirrors showing us who we’ve chosen not to be.

That person who gossips constantly? They remind you that you value integrity. he one who’s always negative? They highlight the fact that you’re fighting to stay hopeful. The one who takes credit for everyone else’s work? They’re showing you why humility matters so deeply to you.

They are, in their own uncomfortable way, teachers.

You see, life doesn’t always send mentors wrapped in calm voices and gentle smiles. Sometimes it sends them wrapped in frustration, showing us—through contrast—what alignment really feels like. They remind us that growth isn’t just about becoming better; it’s about remembering the version of ourselves we’ve outgrown.

So, the next time that co-worker walks in and you feel your energy tighten, pause for a moment. Take a breath. And instead of asking, “Why do they bother me so much?” try asking, “What are they reminding me to honor within myself?”

Because when we learn to see the lesson instead of the irritation, something remarkable happens —the friction fades. And the mirror becomes gratitude.
