is the problem only at work or outside the work too? maybe some of the co-workers are jerks and there is nothing wrong at your end. but if you really think you have some attitude problem then try this for a week and see how it works. I know u can't do it perfectly but at least give it your best.
1) smile every second. i know it looks fake, you will think it's fake and even stupid to try this but it can be very helpful to you. people can't tell when you're fake smiling or smiling for real. why smile fake? because you might have bigger things in life, and it might take a while and lots of effort to fix that big problem or maybe it's not fixable at all, but then why waste every moment of your life, why ruin everything you've got? when that big thing is solved you'll smile for real but till then put up a fake smile. do this for a week and after a week your face will be used to of doing it. u will look happy and approachable and after sometime u don't even have to try, it comes naturally.
2) only think positive or try to take positive only. remember this is your one week assignment so try your best. eg: a guy cuts in front of you at a grocery store, don't think what an assole. think this guy must be busy, poor guy he must be crunched with time and feel glad you're helping him out. enforce positive thinking into your head, although it might feel fake, after a while your brain starts thinking positive. but this is the hardest so don't worry if you fail numerous times, come back and try it again . remember this is only for a week.
3) try mindfulness meditation with smile in your face to help that inner peace and to enjoy small things that mean big in your life and are often neglected. for eg: while most people worry about work, GC and what not they forget to enjoy the joy coming out of small thing like taking a shower in warm water or eating a good food. ur big problem is a real problem and it definitely requires your attention but that does not mean u can not enjoy your little things which are real and right there with you at this very moment.. mindfulness will teach you how to appreciate those.google mindfulness meditation.
my suggestions...i've tried it , an d it has worked on me, i cant' say it will work for you too but give it a shot.
