No, people at work don't like me, and they don't enjoy my presence, but that's okay. I act professionally, I do my best to make good technical decisions, and I assist others when asked for help. I'm generous with my time. I receive positive peer & manager reviews, but when all is said and done only one thing matters: no one keeps in touch with me after work ceases to be the shared medium within which communications usually take place. It's difficult to estimate how many people I've worked with. I've built good rapport with dozens of individuals throughout the years, but I'm still in touch with only one person. This doesn't bother me, as my personality has nothing to do with work. My opinions, to which I'm entitled, are equally upsetting to both sides of the political divide. I don't take part in office parties, and I'll never join my colleagues on a company-sponsored beach retreat. My personality is my own, and liking me isn't a prerequisite to working productively together towards shared goals. All this is to say: work isn't life, and life isn't work.
