Career & Life CoachFigure out exactly what's bothering you, then focus on what you can control in the situation, like setting up a meeting or asking your boss for something specific that might make things easier. You can just try to avoid them, but make sure you set up a really clear structure with that. You might also want to do the opposite and push past your comfort zone, and maybe invite that person to have coffee so you can talk about things. Spend some time really thinking about what you want to come out of this conversation. For instance, you might say, "I don't know why, but things feel uncomfortable between us. I'd like to get to know you a little better so we can improve things."
