Toxic colleagues don't just ruin your mood. They chemically alter your brain. Science proved it. Here's why that should make you think. Mirror Neurons Are Real. When you watch someone experience an emotion, your brain fires the same neurons as if you were feeling it. Research on emotional contagion shows negative emotions spread faster and stick harder than positive ones. (https://lnkd.in/gEc6F9i6) Your brain catches their mood whether you want it to or not. Why IT Pros Absorb More High empathy. High sensitivity to team dynamics. Often introverted, with less emotional armor. You absorb the room. Then wonder why you're drained after every standup with that one teammate. Three Protections That Work: 1. Physical distance when possible. Camera off. Skip the non-essential meeting. 2. Reset ritual after exposure. A short walk. Music. 3. Two minutes of silence. Stop co-ruminating. Venting about them with coworkers locks the negativity in deeper. You can't control their brain. You can control what you let into yours. Protect your neurochemistry like your career depends on it. Because it does. If you're stuck in a draining team environment, DM me "RESET" - let's talk. Most people just vent to coworkers about it. Is that actually making things worse? I read every comment. 👇
