How do you deal with a coworker that is constantly complaining?

They are very emotional and in their mind...everything’s stupid, everything sucks and every task or discussion is pointless. Am I just dealing with a depressed person?

Try not to absorb it..ignore it the best you can..maybe put on some music and focus on that instead, it can truly drain you if you let it!

@SW-User you’re right bc it does drain me at times!

@DecafD I am the same, I get sucked in and I want to "help" them figure it all out, give solutions,but some people cannot be helped, they have to help themselves especially someone depressed, they could need a dr or medication.
