Hi guys. I’m starting to believe my PhD program is slightly toxic. Same with my lab too. In general, people in the program gossip a lot, and they’ll judge you for just about anything. I even so much as laid my head on the table during class when I was tired and people started talking. My lab mate is constantly a contrarian or disrespectful to me whenever we are talking with other students. Being around people at school is starting to be draining and I’m starting to think I should just keep to myself as much as possible. Any advice or is anyone in the same boat?
