Inevitably, some will be unwanted, alarming, or just plain strange. You know the kind: You’re driving down the freeway and suddenly visualize yanking the steering wheel to the left and careening into a ravine. Or you’re admiring the crashing waves beneath you—and, out of the blue, imagine pushing your partner off the cliff. For some people, though, these thoughts linger and become debilitating. That’s largely omitted from conversations on social-media platforms like TikTok, where the “ha-ha” versions of intrusive thoughts are trending: In one video labeled “my intrusive thoughts won,” a woman slowly tastes a piece of confetti that rained down on her during a concert.

It can be important to show your boss that you value them and their leadership, and that you want to set things right. If the relationship can’t be repaired, then don’t spend all your energy focusing on that relationship. Instead, concentrate on what you contribute to the organization. Be creative and look for opportunities to build new alliances with other colleagues to accomplish more than you could on your own without your boss’s support. Try to find other opportunities to build indirect support around your organization. In an ideal world your boss would support you and your career goals, open up opportunities, and pave the way for you to be successful at your company. But the world isn’t ideal and even managers who once seemed quite supportive can make a sudden shift. For example, the boss of a technical director I worked with seemed to lose confidence in her and would effectively embargo her comments, not sharing them with other senior leaders; the boss of a marketing director in another client company explicitly forbade her to chat with other senior leaders she previously had access to.
