Surely there's a middle ground? I'm almost certainly not the person my co-workers would choose to be friends with or go out of their way to have present when not at work. I'm totally cool with that. The feeling is mutual. But I'm also fairly certain that (while even our best friends always have some habits we find irritating) for the most part they find me pleasant enough to be around and interact with. It matters to me that my colleagues find me pleasant and easy to work with, friendly, and not grating. It doesn't matter much to me whether they particularly like me as a person as long as our interpersonal relationship is good enough to effectively facilitate our professional relationship. On the other hand, if I find you frustrating to work with on a professional level, it doesn't matter how pleasant you are to have a beer with. I'm going to resent you and wish we didn't have to work together.
