I need help with to deal with toxic environment/ sch/ workplace politics
so where I am it’s a really competitive,mean,hostile environment and I cannot see a way out for now
everything is fake and nothing is real.one wrong step and that’s it everything’s gone
therefore I wanted to ask how to deal with workplace/school politics and people relationship?
I’m so sick of having to decipher passive aggressive rude messages,walking on eggshells, backstabbed, being ‘fake’ and being ‘too faced’ to survive as those who are pure and kind will be the first to fail
that’s why I wanted to learn how to not give myself away/ be neutral in everything to protect myself
tmi but I may sound very cynical but I had to endure 2 months of medical sickness, vomitting, diaahoea,nausea,headache, heart palpitations, mental breakdown, anxiety attacks, panic attacks to the point I was scared of taking public transport and leaving the house
tldr: how to hide my emotions on my face:neutral to not give myself away in any form of threat

Why stay at a toxic workplace? I think the effort to squelch your true emotions will lead to MORE stress, honestly.
Try practicing breathing exercises. It takes a deep breath for me to reset my facial expressions to default.
Hiding your true genuine emotions will only work for so long. Yes, we all wear masks. Though unfortunately, our mask will soon develop cracks and possibly break. My advice is don’t go at it, to hide emotions. As someone in the comment section said, leave the environment.
