"I would let a relationship fizzle more than having a direct conversation with somebody about why it's toxic or how it's not working," he said。

他说，“我会选择冷处理和同事间的关系，而不是直接去找某个人谈，告诉他/她为什么我们的关系是有害的或者有问题的。”

Ending the friendship with a confrontation could result in hard feelings that can haunt the office worse than the negative relationship, Aung-Thwin added。

如果是以对抗的方式结束一段办公室友谊的话，会让人感到不快，导致办公室的气氛更加恶劣。

"Basically you're going to be going through a break-up or a divorce at work without the benefits of those, which is freedom," he said. "You're going to be stuck with that person day after day for an indefinite period of time, and you don't want that negativity to keepbrewing and brewing."

“一般说来，如果你想要结束一段同事间的友情，用温和的方式还是用激烈的方式，都是你的自由。但是你必须考虑到，你在这之后的一段时间里，需要一直和这个人变扭着，但你是绝对不想让这种消极情绪持续发酵的。”
