I need some advice on how to deal with a difficult coworker.

I suggest you first try to be as respectful and understanding as possible. Try to put yourself in their shoes, and think about what they might be going through that makes them act the way they do. Also, it's important to remember that everyone has different personalities and preferences, so even if someone is being rude or difficult, there may be something else going on behind the scenes. It can also help to talk to your supervisor or manager if the situation is getting out of hand.
