Eight years ago, I worked in an office for the first time as an intern.

It was a for a module I wanted to fulfill in university.

It started out great. It was for a gaming magazine where I would be a writer. I loved gaming then and I thought it'd be a breeze.

Unfortunately, my direct supervisor was a bitch who was emotional as hell.

She never gave instructions clearly and yet, I was faulted for it.

When she asked a question, it was never exactly a question. It was an order disguised as a question.

And since I didn't know shit, sometimes I answered not in her favor.

Suddenly, that meant a total "lack of initiative on my part."

Subsequently, I'd tell this to the dudes in the office whom I got close to. We're still friends to this day.

That become me bitching behind my supervisor's back.

That become me being unprofessional and somebody who partook in office politics though I didn't think I was doing so.

That became me, according to her, a whiny brat.

It blew my innocent mind. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong!

But that was where I learnt: In an office, sometimes you just need to keep your mouth shut, especially when it concerns dealing with insecure people.

You can't win.

They will find a way to take you down according to their twisted minds.

There is no way to argue with them.

You just need to shut the fuck up.

When you're dealing with insecure people, just shut it.

Just let it go.

Just keep quiet and walk away.

This is the peaceful. Trust me.

Sometimes in life, there's no dealing with others.

The best answer is to just walk away.
