I was partly raised in a culture where it was normal for your colleagues / co-workers to know every aspect of your life. In general everything was more communal, and there wasn't a lot of independent loner, do-your-own-thing, dog-eat-dog mentality that is so pervasive in American culture. I'm not even going to discuss the merits / negatives of each particular worldview, but what I do know is that I find it utterly depressing that I've worked and interacted with my (now former) colleagues for close to 3 years and none of them even care enough to ask me what I'm going to do with my life afterwards and what my next plans are (today was my last day).
