[header] How to get along with co workers [title] Keep conversations light. [step] While you want to appear friendly and warm, certain topics should be avoided if you want to escape conflict at work. [substeps] For example, discussions about religion and politics are generally inappropriate at work, and can end up heated. 
Also avoid overly personal conversations like your health, sexuality, personal relationship problems, or finances, and avoid asking your co-workers about these issues as well. If you feel uncomfortable with nosy or invasive inquiries into your personal life, or if the topic of conversation becomes controversial, do your best to change the subject.
