I totally get that. I used to share an office with someone who could turn even a good day into a cloud of doom. What helped me was learning how to step back emotionally — like listening without absorbing. I also started taking quick walks just to reset my mood. By the way, I once read something similar on https://onbasetalk.com , and it reminded me that setting small boundaries (even just mentally) makes a huge difference. It sounds simple, but figuring out what’s yours and what’s not can save your whole afternoon.
