[closed] How do you rise above others when they try and convince you that you are not worthy of propositions of value?

Hello,
I am a senior business major with an interest in business administration and a concentration of management. I love to learn about the topics of business and management because I aspire to work in an office. As thus, I do not care too much for office politics and things such as focusing on how other people view me or what they wear. Rather, I would like to focus on the job at hand and learn to have fun obtaining some fun knowledge. I am a lifelong learner who wants to stay current with not all trending business topics, but some of them.

Some of the time when people converse they love to tell their opinions and try to persuade others that they are only right. I have to ask, "Why?" I have been taught to believe that more than one person be right about something. I do not care for knocking anyone down on this personally since
a) people assume too much that they know nothing about and then use the excuse of "I just assumed.." to justify a wrong reaction
b)people always try to prove that their opinions are worthy of value and agreement when an opinion is already of value
c) opinions are not facts that are meant to be proven

My question is, how can you stay out of gossip and negative group talk that involves non-sense? Instead, I would like others to say nice things about me and stop getting their feet wet with my personal business. There is a limit to casual talk when working, and too much can make someone uncomfortable and push him or her away.

Thank you!
