How do I deal with a teammate who treats every feedback as criticism and the goes on to defend his actions to the point that it’s impossible to have a civil discussion. Any pointers will help as I have tried almost everything I can think of. Talked to manager and manager doesn’t want to say anything coz he is one of the best in our team🤷
Sorry that you’re in such a situation. These kinds of teammates are impossible to deal with.
Tell them that this is not a criticism of their character - but just suggestion for how you all can work better together. This will ultimately help both of you grow as people
read some dark psychology book and learn more about manipulation techniques. It will help you deal with such people. Disclaimer, these people are generally good and is normal but they do cause troubles. I guess it’s debatable.
That person may have egocentrism and and narcissistic personality disorder. My advice is always aware of such people and don’t let yourself affected by them. As they generally have less empathy certain life conditions. They aren’t bad as they can be empathetic to many other conditions. But is a problem if that conditions isn’t with you.
i’m sorry in advance as i don’t know whether this point is sensible enough.
Serious trust issues here. Build trust. It is clear that your team mate does not trust you. Get to know him better, bond, share meals or drinks
Virtual world …can’t share meal or drinks
