Yikes, I'm sorry you have to deal with assholes like that at work (or anywhere). Nobody should be treated like that! Even when professional disagreements arise, there's no need for personal disrespect. We all have jobs because some client or another needs us. And most software out there is, well, average. That doesn't mean the people who work on them should be insulted. Can you minimize the amount of negative social contact in your day, like only interacting as much as you need to at work, and then spending time with people who treat you better (colleagues, friends, family)? I don't know what the work and social cultures are like in Nepal, but here in the US, if I had a job I didn't love interacting with people I don't really care about, I'd try my best to compartmentalize them -- telling myself "this is only temporary, I just have to hang in there until something better comes along / I work myself up to a better position" -- while trying to be extra-nice to the people I actually enjoy being around. I've made a lot of non-work friends just meeting people and getting to know, treating them well and paying attention to their lives, etc. That is to say, if I can't do anything about the negatives, I can at least make more positive connections to offset them. But at the end of the day, you just have to try to get out of that sort of situation ASAP :( I'm sorry you have to be in that situation to begin with. Surely that can't be normal for all jobs in Nepal?
