Either situation can be super hard and tricky.
Who we associate with (inside and outside of work) will impact us as humans. Our attitude, our personality, our actions, our work, etc.
Jim Rohn has the famous quote, "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with"

Friends with the wrong people:

Create some distance
Start talking to some new people at work
No thank you
Rock those headphones
Change up lunch habits
Alone time
Reserve a space to get out of a shared space for a couple hours
If they aren't getting it, explain you have some big personal goals you're working towards and really want to put major focus on work
Stay kind, cordial and nice


Enemies with the wrong people:

Why? No reason, ok KAREN
Do you need to apologies for something?
Work hard, let your results shine and contribute
Be kind and nice
Invite that person to lunch or  coffee
Ask the right people for advice, in a professional tactful way
Time will squash most things
Try their suggestions / ideas / thoughts
Don't retaliate or react at all
Do the right thing for your customers
Ask them how they are doing


Notes:

Actions speak louder than words
Be the bigger person / take the high road
You are responsible for you
Your reputation will be impacted on how you respond to someone's stuff
