With co - workers
> Here’s one that may surprise you. Swann says you not only can feel free to be honest with your co- workers but that you should make an effort to share. “I think because of the fact that we spend so much time with our co- workers, it is important for us to be fairly open and honest with them,” she says. “When we do this, it helps stabilize your work environment so that if you do let folks in and give them a peek of what you’re going through, it can really help you in your work environment. People will be more compassionate toward you if you’re not finishing projects or things aren’t coming together so well. We can’t walk into the workplace right now with letting people think that everything is OK when really things are not.”
