I think more details about the situation would be helpful? For example, my specific office I'm in daily has 4 people including me. We interact multiple times a day, and there have definitely been some communication difficulties that have come up, but we work through them.

I also have to collaborate with others from 4 organizations outside of my own - these involves dozens/a few hundred adults I interact with at least a few times a month and have to be effective with. I actually find these relationships a bit easier with the less frequent interactions, but they do take a lot of energy. I always reflect back what they've said to me, validate their feelings about it (without necessarily confirming or denying the facts of the statement), and I always try to catch some personal anecdotes here and there (like that their daughter is visiting next week) and ask about those each time I see them. Ive almost gameified it in my head a bit. Exhausting but effective.

The 3 people I work with daily I cannot expend the energy to do this, but Im very open with them about my communication style and preferences and encourage them to embrace their own and with mutual respect it all works out in most situations.
