Do you know?

A too-friendly co-worker can be uncomfortable. Set clear boundaries and stay professional. Here are some simple ways to handle it.

Set Boundaries

Tell him what makes you uncomfortable. If he crosses the line, remind him politely. This will help him understand what behavior is not okay.

Keep It Professional

Talk only about work. If he asks personal questions, change the topic. Keeping things formal will show him you are not interested in personal talk.

Use Body Language

Stand confidently, keep a safe distance, and avoid physical contact. Your body language can send a strong message without saying a word.

Share Less Personal Information

Don’t talk much about your private life. This can help prevent unwanted closeness. The less he knows, the less he can try to get too friendly.

Be Clear but Polite

If he is too friendly, tell him nicely that you want to keep things professional. A simple ,I prefer to focus on work' can make things clear.

Report If Needed

If he keeps bothering you, write down what happens and talk to your boss or HR. Reporting early can stop the situation from getting worse.
