Mary Beth:我的同事每天都抱怨自己超重,而且我认为她有疑病症,总是关注发生在自己身上的坏事。她声称自己患有多种疾病,包括注意力缺陷障碍、经期后综合症、骨刺和图雷特综合症。她经常去看医生并服用药物,如果她不服药,她就会声称自己患有偏头痛。我从未亲眼见过她所说的任何症状,我已经和她一起工作了近两年。我曾试图和她谈论这件事,但她不接受批评,她会哭,认为每个人都讨厌她,而且她可能不再和我说话。我应该怎么做? Ellen Kenner:从你描述的情况来看,你的同事将她的身份建立在拥有她可以表现为已经克服的疾病之上,而且她想表现得很坚强,这引起了很多人的关注。我不相信你的同事,我认为她在撒谎和捏造事实,她不可信。如果你的同事患有图雷特综合症,并且没有服用药物或寻求认知疗法或其他疗法来帮助她控制症状,你肯定会注意到。她会哭,并表现出一种惹人怜悯的样子,她说每个人都会讨厌她,这是在乞求安慰和友谊。她希望你把她看作是英雄,她希望自己有这样的形象,并且希望周围的人与她串通一气,同意她的观点。如果你的同事是办公室里唯一的一个,那么你就有问题了,我建议你告诉她,你已经向自己承诺过,你不想关注任何疾病,你可以和她谈论其他事情,比如园艺或晚餐。和同事之间的友谊应该建立在相互愉悦和价值交换的基础上,而不是建立在战争故事、怜悯或内疚之上。
