You're Too Present

I ended up with a headache at work today. Which has proceeded to come back off and on since I've been home from work.
But it started at work, mostly because I was dealing with a coworker that I normally have limited interaction with, but this morning I had to interact consistently with them because they were opening the department with me, which meant constant conversation and such.
Which isn't always an issue, but this particular coworker tends to be rather...negative/self deprecating and such. 
And I don't...handle that well. 
Because my automatic reaction is to try and cheer the person up, spin things positively
And having to do that consistently throughout an 8 hour work day...is exhausting. 

Though I am wondering if there's more going on than the energy thing that is causing me to get headaches at work. Like...is it because I'm suddenly surrounded by too much testosterone? Because I've been noticing the past couple of weeks that like...I'm the only girl in the store in the mornings currently. All the other morning people are guys...so I'm like....is it being around too many guys with their power struggles and such causing me stress subconsciously?
Knowing me...probably. 
*exhales*

Whatever the case. I was glad when the coworker left so that I could have the department to myself for a bit and unwind from dealing with them consistently.
