If your personality doesn't allow you to perform well at your job, or at whichever role that you have picked up, you have to clearly separate your work life or role life from your personal life.
I do believe that some of us tend to mix in our personal feelings when we deal with work. It would be good if those are good feelings. If they aren't, we would have to resolve the problem or we would have to look at the problem from a different perspective. Separating work life from personal life, would be a way of looking at it from another perspective. You will just see it as work, and just do whatever that is required for you to perform well at it. ..... hmmm... Suddenly, this just seems robotic to me.. :8
.... maybe it is a bad idea.. Haha.. But it is a way. Anybody can try this to see whether it works for you... :p
Separating doesn't seem like a good idea... :8
