The book How to Win Friends and Influence People is an old book but a classic when it comes to getting along well with others. I would start there. Keep in mind that as long as you are kind and polite, decent people will like you. They may not become your best friend, but they won't run when they see you coming, either.

What I find is quite a few people who use the workplace as what I call their Trashing Grounds where they abuse people whenever they feel like it because this is their unhealthy coping mechanism for God knows what. I pity such people, but I need to stay far away from them, too.
Thanks for this!
